Screenshot Steps
Step #1: Draw your design
Draw and label where you want everything to be, so when you actually start making the brochure, it will make everything easy/organize/recognizable.
Step #2: Research for tours to Mount Everest
This step is going to help your client to decide which tour they like better. By having two options, it will also help with the criteria's expectation by having variety of options.
Step #3: Put your information into a spreadsheet
By transferring the info into a spreadsheet (excel), it will help you in the next step. Merging the info into a word document without having to re-type everything into a new document.
Step #4: Make a mail merge template
By doing this step, you will have a guide into how you want your final product to look like.
Step #5: Mail Merging
You will mail merge your spreadsheet into a serrate word document, which will help you to layout the designing of your brochure.
Step #6: Arranging images and making the brochure look pretty
This is the point when you will add the photos you find online and don't forget to cite it.
Step #7: Save it as a PDF and upload it onto ManageBac
After making the brochure look pretty, save it as a PDF and upload then have a drink and go to sleep. :P
Changes from Draft to Final
- I had to change the alignment of the whole brochure because of all the amount of text.
- I also change the way I wanted to put in my photos.
