Brochure project resources

These are some resources that may help you with your brochure project:

• iWork ’09 Pages video tutorials from Apple

Very brief sample log entry justifying a topic choice:

I have chosen to create a brochure about Pucón, a beautiful small city in the south of my country. What is unique about it is that it is surrounded by a volcano and a lake, so people can enjoy summer activities at the lake, and winter sports at the volcano and its beautiful snow.

Yet another short sample of an entry showing the progress of your research:

First few images I’ve found for my brochure. I am looking for photos of different sizes. My idea is to have photos showing the volcano and lake, not so much the city and its hotels. Photos of the latter two? Only if I have enough time.

Now trying to find images under the creative commons license, so they are free to use and I do not get in trouble because of copyright issues…

Found http://commons.wikimedia.org/ !!! Just what I needed !!!

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c8/Pucon%2C_Chile.jpg this one’s a bit blurry, may try to sharpen with Photoshop later!

Enough images for the night. Now, I’m using bibme.org to build my list of sources of information using the MLA format.

“Pucon – Información Util de PUCON – CHILE.” ENJOY CHILE TRAVEL TO CHILE TOURS IN CHILE . N.p., n.d. Web. 17 Jan. 2010. <http://www.enjoy-chile.org/chile/pucon-informacion-util-chile.php&gt;.    {Annotation: good information, seems objective and helpful; in Spanish & English.}

“Pucón – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.” Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. N.p., n.d. Web. 15 Jan. 2010. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pucon&gt;.    {Fair amount of information, must check links at bottom and Spanish version of the same article. }

…

The above are just plain examples to illustrate what you have to do. Hope this is helpful!
