the city you are promoting.

Die Hilfe der Lehrerin

Brochure must have some color. You may print it
out in color if you have access to a color printer, or you may color the
brochure after it has been printed.
It is suggested you do the Second Page after
you have completed the Inside of your brochure, and then summarize the key
points.
You may use other sources of information
provided you have time, but you must use those listed above first.
An important part of all Portfolio pieces is
that they have voice - be sure to use colorful and descriptive terms and
remember you are trying to sell your company to clients. If it's not
interesting and exciting, they won't buy it!
