This is my most recent version of the Landscape Tour, hopefully ready to print. There were several fixes to this brochure. First off, I moved all of the numbers to the left of the titles. I added a few pictures and changed the order up. The map was completely re-done with the help of Diana Spangler. I put the map into Photoshop and raised the contrast to get rid of unwanted boxes and turned it completely black and white. (I will add a before and after picture towards the bottom) I also added numbers on the map. I added the website on the right of the brochure and I changed the logo to capture the entire house on the top of the brochure.

Below is the original image of the map I was given. As you can see, there are several boxes surrounding the bushes and edge of the map. I put this in Photoshop to get rid of these and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.

After:

I just wanted to upload this sign along with the updated items below. It's nothing special, but just a concept.

Updated Items

Update:
Shown below are updated versions of things I have created for Mr. Starbuck. First is the updated version of the Landscape Tour. For this one, I modified the size of the map so take up two panels rather than one to make it more visible. I made the font smaller to make room for the map. I unfortunately had to take out one of the pictures to make room as well. I also updated the logo on the top with the full house showing. Next is the Kid's brochure. I changed the picture to include kids on the front page. This helps differentiate this brochure from the others. I changed the logo on the top of this one too. I don't have the Lynchburg Civil War Round table brochure up yet, as I am still waiting for a few pictures, although I have added two more to that brochure so I am still working on it. For the stationery, I changed the picture to now include the whole house. The old one was more focused on the top portion of the building, which looked a bit off.

(Mr. Starbuck: If you would like me to change any of these photos/make any changes please let me know.)

Here is my version of the Civil War Round Table brochure. There are a few areas where I need to add pictures, but other than that, I kept all of the original information given to me. I added the Sandusky green around the edges to give the brochure a cleaner look. I increased the size of the logo on the front page, and I decreased the size of the Facebook logo. For categories like "History, Membership, Meetings" etc... I increased the size of them and changed the font to give them more emphasis on the overall design.

Here is my first attempt and the kids brochure. I based this off of a kids' brochure I was given by Mr. Starbuck. I tried to stick with the same theme I used on the other brochure, while using a different font to make it more "kid friendly."

Based on Mr. Starbuck's feedback, I fixed a few things on the brochure. I added the text "Landscape Tour" on the top. I also changed the picture on the front to show more than just the house.

Tour Brochure

The top two photos listed are the original brochure that Mr. Starbuck sent me. The bottom two are the ones I redid. This was originally made in Microsoft Publisher and I was told to redesign the entire brochure. I wanted to use InDesign, because Publisher doesn't have as many design options. I first started off by finding a font online that would best suit the brochure. I then added easy to read font that made each location stand out. In the original brochure, the titles were lacking emphasis. I decided to also put the number corresponding to the place on the map in a circle next to the font to help it stand out as well. I added most of the pictures I was given back into the brochure. I added a bold green outline to them. As for the front of the brochure, I used a picture that I found. I used the new logo that I created on the top of the brochure. The map is slightly blurry, so if Mr. Starbuck does decide to use it, I will ask him if there is a higher resolution map that I could use.
