Creating a Brochure

Locate and open the Microsoft Word Brochure Template under this topic’s class page.

Use the template to create a brochure for a business in your chosen career field (the business can be real or fictional). Include text, graphics/photos, and an appropriate design for the audience that this business would want to target.

Change the color, font, background, and other design elements to fit the business.

Use graphics, logos, and/or photos from the Internet in your design (2 minimum).

In your web browser, use the download option to download the graphic to your computer, and paste or insert it into Microsoft Word.

Provide an Internet “citation” for this graphic to credit the original source.

Assume that this graphic is under copyright and that you have permission to use it (this is a classroom exercise, so actual permission will not be required); however, you must obtain the correct information to cite the graphics.

Refer to the citation information in your textbook for this requirement. In general, you will need to identify the title of the web page, copyright owner of the web page and its graphics, and the date the web page was copyrighted. This information, to include the owner and the date, is traditionally listed as copyright information on the home page.

For example, a graphic used (with permission) from the Turnitin.com web page should include a caption with the following information:

Turnitin: Prevent Plagiarism. Engage Students. iParadigms LLC, 1998 – 2010.

This assignment will be graded based on effective design principles, attention to the target audience, and correct citation of material (text, graphics, etc.) borrowed from online sources.
