Com 130 section 6 Julie Peterson

Description: My brochure contains information about Palenque, Chiapas and the ruins there. Objectives: Set up and align a two-sided, folded document. Create an original company logo and use it in a brochure. Incorporate quality images. (Incorporate at least four quality images (Not including the logo). One should be clipped in Photoshop and text-wrapped in InDesign so the text follows the cutout shape of the image.) Write at least 250 words of original copy with at least three paragraphs. Trim for a full bleed and print in duplex (two-sided) color. Process: This project took awhile to figure out. I had to make a layout of my brochure. I made a background in photoshop and posted it into an in-design document. I wrote some text to add into the brochure. I had to find some images to use and I picked out some pictures from my trip to Palenque. I had to edit the pictures and put text wraps on them.
