Travel brochure for Chicago, using at least two of the pictures from the blog (or downloaded by searching for other images)

1. One Title for the piece that serves as “thesis” for a vision of Chicago that you sell in brochure (i.e. A Drive Down Lakeshore). Some ideas for titles:
  • Imperative that includes reference to city
  • Famous Chicago phrases
  • Famous landmark
  • Famous Facts that define city in one way
2. Three Headings that each serve as dividers for focused sections that expand on highlights of coming to Chicago (that relate to Title)
  • Each should be concise and specific
  • Places that one should visit
3. Under each Heading should be the appropriate text

  • A definition or explanation of the place / historical relevance
  • Where in city the place is, and any other vital information (special exhibit examples, famous visitors, etc.)
4. At Least Three Graphics, counting two pictures:
  • A centerpiece photograph placed appropriately in text
  • At least one picture that has text wrapped around
  • At least one “Design Feature” (276-278)

Use of Design Principles and Considerations Covered in Chapter 11, including:
  • Columns
  • Margins expanded
  • Typography (study of fonts) choices– color, size variances, cases, family
  • Headers
  • Page Grid – plotting out where everything goes
  • Use of White Space
  • Other Design Features (276-278), including: Rules, Boxes, Screens, Marginal Glosses, Pulled Quotes
