PROJECT: FULL COLOUR ILLUSTRATED BROCHURE
1. Work in small groups. Follow the steps below to produce a travel brochure.
1. Planning stage

b) Decide on the sight in Belarus, you are going to produce a brochure for.
c) Collect as much information about this sight as possible (its location, history, events schedule, working times, pictures and publication about it in English, etc. Reviews from visitors and amateur photographs may also be of use.)
d) Put all the information you’ve found together. Distribute the work between your team members.
2. Formation stage
a) Note down the main features of your sight that you want to highlight in the brochure.
b) Create a list of topics to include in the brochure and write the information to be provided under each topic.
c) Write headlines and subheads. Write the descriptive text. Make lists.
c) Write short, concise sentences, being careful to use proper punctuation, spelling and grammar.
3. Design stage
a) Select the photos for inclusion in the travel brochure. Your photos need to convey a story that complements the text you wrote. Also remember that people love to look at pictures of other people's faces so include as many face photos as possible.
b) Lay out the travel brochure by placing the copy, photos and other graphics in a sensible, logical manner. Again, have your staff and a member of the organization whose brochure you're creating look it over again as a final proof.
