How to Create a Travel Brochure

The sights, sounds and tastes of a new place can create feelings of happiness in many people, and most travelers take pictures during their trips, while others collect brochures and trinkets. Capture sights and sounds in a new way by creating a travel brochure.

Difficulty:

Easy

Instructions

1. Choose the materials to include in the travel brochure. Select photographs that tell a story or that you can write a story about. Include a time line, history or other tidbits of information that you want to remember from the trip.

2. Sketch the preferred layout of the travel brochure. Use a piece of cardstock paper and fold it so that it has three vertical sections. Draw where you want text and pictures.

3. Use computer software to help design and create the travel brochure. Most word-processor programs have a brochure template that you can use. Search computer and electronic stores for other software you can use for making a travel brochure.

4. Print the travel brochure using a laser-jet printer or other high-quality printer. Use high-quality paper such as cardstock.

5. Protect the travel brochure from wear and tear. Laminate the brochure. You'll find lamination services at office-supply stores.

6. Share the brochure with friends and family. The travel brochure, once laminated, could make a great gift especially if it has family pictures with it.

Tips & Warnings

• Print extra copies that will not be laminated for hand-outs to people that want information about the travel site.
