B R OCHUR E DESCRIPTION: Construct a two sided brochure, that folds. PROGRAMS: InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop DATE: March 29, 2014 COURSE: COMM 130-02 INSTRUCTOR: Caryn Esplin OBJECTIVES: Create a brochure of something that we are interested. I wanted to keep it compact so you can take it on the go as you are handed information. information. It will slip right into your pocket. PROCESS: I used InDesign for the bulk of the project. The logo image was created in Illustrator. Two images were put into photoshop and edited using the selection process. I then saved the selection and refined the edges to give the image a cleaner look. I then placed in the InDesign file. A text wrap was then placed around these two images so they could both reside on the same flap (white bird & flower). I used the shape tool in InDesign to construct the brochure. Using Alt+Drag I was able to copy the shapes and keep them in the same dimensions. All of the photos were taking at the beaches mentioned, by myself. I made them a full bleed on there respective folds to emphasize the sights and details of Florida, and making the best use of the space available. For the text I used the shape tool to duplicate the same shape and then turned it into a type path area so the text would fill the hexagon shape really well.

I selected him out of a picture, with a 20px feather. After moving him onto the background I applied a mask. I then changed my opacity and painted black to bring the background through, so it blends well into the scene. I also adjusted the vibrance on the images to bring out their color.
