Conduct thorough research, by using the links provided (via the assignment page), and also by using your own web search(s). Save all of your information (Text and images) into a folder in your home area. After you have completed all of your research, you are then ready to build your own brochure, to do this use a typical word processor like Open Office, MS Office, or if you have a google account, use google docs. Consider a theme which will run throughout your brochure, use large images, and titles etc. Make your brochure page by page, following your plan and content list. Check your work through (use a spell checker, and proof read it). If you think you are ready, export your finished work as a .PDF file, and save this inside your photography folder. When your content is complete, you then need to package it as readable document. To do this you will use a free online tool called: www.issuu.com Go to issuu via a web browser and sign up for an account. Follow the on-screen instructions, and upload your finished .PDF file. Then use the SHARE function to share it with your teacher for assessment. Print a copy out for your folder/ journal.
