Brochure Project
For this assignment you will create a brochure advertising some exciting place to visit. You may choose a specific place like the Detroit Zoo or Disney World, a city like Washington D.C., or a foreign country like Norway. || Of course, all graphics should be related to your topic. || ||
 * 
 * Your brochure should contain several different sections. These sections may vary depending upon your topic.
 * For example, if you were to do Disney World, you should probably include information like descriptions of all the parks, some hotel information, ticket prices, special concerts and events, hours of operation, etc.
 * If you were to do Washington D.C., you should probably include some history of the city, tourist attractions (places to visit), special events throughout the year (like the 4th of July fireworks), etc.
 * If you were to do Norway, you should include some history of the country, descriptions of the people (like race, religion, ethnicity, etc.), natural resources, cities and places of interest, tourist attractions, special holidays, etc.

 * 1. Select a topic for your brochure. If you have questions, ask. ||

 * 3. Now, we will talk about how to layout your brochure. This is tricky. You have to do it backwards. On page one, your cover will be on the right column. The back will be in the middle column. The left column will be inside information. On page two, you can just put all inside information. Your cover should be simple: a title and a nice, big picture will do. ||
 * 4. Your brochure needs to have titles for each section. Make these look big. Word Art probably would be a good idea. The rest of your sections should contain information and pictures. Brochures usually have pretty short, descriptive paragraphs.You want vivid details that will make your reader feel like they are right there with you. ||
 * 5. Have fun researching on the Internet for information and pictures. I will be able to help if you get stuck. ||
 * 6. Don't forget! To get from one column to the next, go to Insert, then Break, and then select Column Break. It will bump you to the next column. Hit the paragraph button if you find you are having a hard time getting things to look right. ||
