Brochure Design

About the Project:

The client required a fresh look for the Smithsonian National Zoological Park through a brochure design. The brochure requirements were as follows: Three panels of 5” x 10”, back to back design, using two colors only. With printing on white paper, the two colors that I chose were green and black, giving the overall look to be clean, subtle, and naturistic.

I studied the park’s information carefully, being sure to capture the most valuable information and highlight popular events. Within the Adobe Suite, I used InDesign for the overall brochure layout, Illustrator to create the map, and Photoshop to edit the photos and remove the colors.
