With the images that I have provided you, create a photo collage in Photoshop for the front panel. (You must use at least 3 images for the collage.) The collage should completely cover the front panel and text will go on top of the image when it is placed into InDesign.
With bleed, the image should be 3.92” wide x 8.75” high, 300 DPI.
Save the finished collage as a .jpg, using RBG colors. (To change your color mode in Photoshop, go to Image > Mode > RGB color before saving.)
AT HOME: Make a folding mockup of your brochure for text placement

Layout of Trifold brochure in InDesign
Take the text and photos and place into InDesign. Be mindful of your overlapping images on fold lines.
Day 3: Due end of class Thursday, December 2: FINAL
Place your cover image on the front and add a text effect in InDesign. If you feel adventurous, you can work with some effects in the Photoshop file, if it works with your design. Save your completed file in InDesign as a print .pdf. Only .pdf files will be accepted.
