Always include a meaningful headline. Your headline should clearly communicate the message you want your reader to take away.

Information and experiences created for an audience

Some things to think about when designing a Brochure
-The first thing you need to know is the purpose of the brochure or what the client wants that brochure to accomplish.
-How is this brochure going to be used? Three types of brochures: to advertise or market, those that educate or inform, and those that entertain.
- How much information will be in this brochure?
- Is the brochure going to be of a unique design that might include die-cuts or unusual folding?
_Will the brochure be a direct mail piece?
- Hierarchy of Information- (the order of information) starting with the most important and moving onto the least.
-Put your selling message on the cover.

While creating your brochure, keep words intact on one line; do not let the computer separate your text for you. Also think of the separation of the text for clear readability. For example.

We will be using In Design for this project. We will create this project using the master head, Character and Paragraph Styles. This project incorporates all we have learned in this class; make sure you design with all the principles/rules we went over in class.
