Create an original company logo and use it in a brochure.Incorporate quality images.Write at least 250 words of original copy with at least three paragraphs.

logo but I would need to make my own for this class. So I took some of the samecolors she used in her original logo and made up a new text logo. Ten I decidedon a gateway fold for my brochure, thinking to be different and to be able to show-case the logo, and the company. Ten I wrote up the price list for the caramels anddecided on the background color. I then placed everything in my brochure but Ihad forgotten about my text wrap. So I took an original image and cut out the glassholding the caramel and used that in my brochure and put the text wrap around it.I then printed out the brochure and it took awhile to align the logo and cut it out.
