Brochure

Create a 4-page brochure for a ficticious business using facing pages. In the Parent Page, put in some detailing - I put in the lines and the name of the business in mine.

Front page:
Create the cover using a photograph which is almost full-screen and then place a white shape on top of the image. Turn the Blend Mode to Color to make it black & white, add some other shapes on top of this filled with color and use multiply to get them to go dark. Add any other details that you wish - I added the white circle.

Page 2:
Create an infographic to describe some of the business' skills or functions. I created mine using multiple circles. I've put the steps I used to create one of the infographic circles at the bottom of the example below. Once you've created one of the circles as described, you can do a few more which are getting progressively shorter. Change the color of each of these to a different color depending on your chosen color palette and stack them on top of one another to create the final graphic.

If you would prefer, you could do an infographic with arrows similar to the one we created in the course.

Page 3:
Use Step and Repeat to create photo frames and text frames for the portraits and descriptions of your business employees. I put a slightly blue toned shape on top of each image and changed the Blend Mode to color

Back Page:
Use a combination of photos and shapes on top of the photo with multiply Blend Mode to create a dark background, and then add any logos or details that you wish.

It doesn't have to look like mine. Just enjoy the process and don't forget to post your results.
