PROVINCES & TERRITORIESTOURISM BROCHURE PROJECT

CONGRATULATIONS!

You have been given a new job by the government of the province or territory that you are researching to create a new brochure that will attract tourists to that province or territory. The government has heard about all of the information that you have collected on your pink graphic organizer. They would like you to include all of that information on your poster or brochure. It is important that you make sure that your brochure is designed to attract tourists who are your age (as well as their families). You should make sure that your poster or brochure is exciting, and attracts their attention. The government has asked your teacher, Mr. Nagy, to make sure this gets done quickly. You can’t afford to waste any time. Follow the checklist below to make sure that you are done on time. The due date for this project is April 12, 2013.That is a few weeks away! Make sure that you work hard to get this completed. Your Brochure Needs to Include: □ The name of the province, or territory in large, colourful letters that attract attention.□The names of the physical regions that are found in the province, and where they are located.□ A hand-coloured map of the province, or territory that includes the physical regions and the major cities. □ The name and picture of the Premier and Lieutenant Governor. (You may use graphics you on the internet.)□ A list of the major industries that exist in your province.□ A list of the top 10 things that someone your age should do in the province / territory along with the location that they could do them. (You may use you research on the internet.) □ Some pictures of your province / territory that make your brochure interesting and attractive.□ Collect all of this information in draft form and try to arrange it neatly on your brochure template. Organize you work so as not to run out of space. All information on the brochure will be created using the computer and Microsoft Word. You are expected be working on this project during class time when time is allotted for the project. Work needs to be at school and Mr. Nagy should not hear anyone say that they have nothing to do because all of their work is at home, or on their computer. Keep jot notes of all researched information and neatly write it down on lined paper. Keep references of where you find you research information so you can cite them in a bibliography. Remember to keep record of where you find your graphics and pictures for your brochure.GOOD LUCK! The provincial / territorial governments of Canada cannot wait to see how creative the students in Caledon can be.

Using Microsoft Word, Publisher or Photoshop, design a travel brochure for your city. The brochure should capture the reader’s attention and highlight some of the main attractions, sights, landmarks and facts about your city.

Brochure Guidelines: Include the name and logo of your travel agency on the back cover Include your company’s contact information (address, phone numbers, e-mail,

website) Graphic images to help illustrate information Highlight some facts or noteworthy information about your city. You can get

creative and make a “Top Ten Reasons to Visit” list about your destination. A catchy title on the cover to help entice the reader and capture their attention

When designing a three-panel brochure, consider the following design tips and guidelines: 1. Do Not Overcrowd. Do not clutter the elements included on each panel in the brochure. Leave plenty of “white” space to make each area easy to read and pleasing to the eye. 2. Minimize Typefaces (Fonts). Use no more than two or three different typefaces (fonts) in your brochure. This helps to create a clean, crisp, professional look.3. Keep Elements in Proportion. Keep the size and proportion of each element on the brochure balanced and symmetrical. 4. Minimize Color. If you will be printing your brochure using a color printer, keep the number of colors to a minimum. Remember to keep your color scheme consistent with those used in your logo and/or on your business card and letterhead. 5. Use Short blocks of Text. Keep the amount of text you place in one particular area to a minimum. This helps to keep the reader moving through the brochure and from getting “bored.” 6. Use Headings and Subheadings. Divide chunks of information by using bold headings and/or subheadings in the brochure.
