    2. Wish Atlanta's premier boutique and online clothing store for Streetwear Clothing and Shoes including t-shirts, jeans, sneakers, hoodies, hats. ... Wish Atlanta

    3. Ty, will this be a catalog? Pick and choose your intentions specifically. For example, perhaps you do an accessories piece or only jeans. Remember not to create a "booklet" solution.

  4. I was wondering if my Brochure can be about GPNA (Grant Park Neighborhood Association) which would include the Cyclorama, the Zoo, The Farmer's Market, the Coffee House, the Tour of Homes events twice a year, a map of the park, and some other Grant Park events.

    1. That sounds great. Start collecting information - you may find that you will have to narrow down some things since you are starting with a lot of events.

  5. I want to do my brochure based upon bee colony disorder. I found a good site with information and will do a brochure explaining what bee colony disorder is and the problems that come from this disorder, the importance of bees, and how it will affect people worldwide.

    1. sounds like a great start. Begin gathering your content as it is unrealistic and potentially less interesting to recreate all the info on the website as a brochure. Think about how to recreate content in an easily digestible, visually exciting manner.

  7. I would like to create a travel brochure for Florida.

    1. sounds good. Try to narrow down your objectives some. For example, will this brochure show only water parks... or perhaps it shows all sorts of stops, but only stops along I-95. make sense?

    Or
    Eating healthy when eating out.

    1. Have a decision for tomorrow settled on. If you choose the eating healthy when eating out... think about how to narrow down your objectives. Is it a top 10 fine dining with healthy menus in Atlanta or is it more of a "how to guide"

  9. my event is the New Manchester History Hike at Sweetwater Creek State Park

    1. sounds good. Can you collect some of the existing brochures? Try to work on a solution that stands out from the rest. Why recreate a trifold brochure if they already probably have a lot of those. make sense?

    guitar amps

    1. Try to narrow down your objectives more. Is this a catalog of products? Is it about one particular guitar amp? Is it "things to think about when purchasing" There are many angles you can attack this.

  11. My event is going to be based on the NBA All Star weekend of 2012 or 2013

    1. Think about the angle you will approach this. Start collecting content for brochure.

  12. For my event I'm thinking maybe Atlanta Zombie Walk 2012.

    1. OK. Clarify the objectives of brochure. Will this be something that helps raise awareness of the Zombie Walk? or perhaps it is a How to survive the Zombie walk?

  13. would like to do mine on either Atlanta Hash House, explaining about the club and upcoming events or The 76th annual atlanta Dogwood Festival. will bring things for both on thursday and will decide then which is stronger

    1. sounds good. Be ready to finalize decision Thursday. Also, think about different approaches for brochure. It doesn't have to just be informative... or maybe your brochure talks more about dog breeds than just the event. make sense?

  14. I would like to do my event on either the KSU Peace Project or the Sweetwater festival.

    1. Try to have final direction for tomorrow's class. I think both of these events probably have a lot of existing brochure work. Collect these for research and try to create a new design that is unique in purpose.

  15. if i can get in contact with the proper channels. id like to a brochure on the KAWS exhibit at the HIGH museuem

    1. Try to confirm by tomorrow whether this will be your design direction. I'm pretty sure you should have a problem working with the HIGH as they have been helpful in the past. Start collecting info (and also get one of their existing brochures). Try not to just recreate what they have already done and design something that has new, insightful purpose.

  16. My even is going to be either a brochure for Living Walls or Atlanta Film Festival.

    1. Both will work but try to have your final pic for tomorrow with some assets already. Think about what your objectives are. Does your brochure showcase existing work in the community or it is more of a submit your design to Living Walls brochure?

  17. I'm not sure what this is yet - but make sure it will be something that inspires creative design work and is not too "wordy, information-based" brochure. start collecting content... think about what's important and what's not... and how you can visualize creatively.
