Creating a Brochure Describing a Place or Organizaton

One way that people learn about places, people, or things that they do not know is by reading about them. But what if they don't have time to read a whole book or they just want a quick overview of the subject? Brochure is one of effective media usually used to overview an information about something. Businesses often use brochures to inform, educate, or persuade — quickly. They use a brochure to grab the readers attention and get them interested enough to want to know more.

A brochure for a new convenience store might have a map and list of all the locations around town and a brief description of the types of food products it sells. The brochure for an Animal Shelter may give facts about abandoned animals, pet overpopulation, and the importance of spaying and neutering programs. A travel brochure may show beautiful pictures of exotic places — making you want to visit that city or country.


Task
Create a brochure about Ambarawa tourism. The brochure should give enough information to grab and keep the readers interest from start to finish.
The brochure may cover a broad topic but it shouldn’t contain so much information that it overwhelms the reader. For further information about Ambarawa, you can visit these sites:

conclusion:
The brochure as an informative, educational, or persuasive device must present information in a clear, organized manner. It should give enough information that the reader won’t be left wondering “what’s this really about” but should also be a “quick read” so that the reader doesn’t become bored before reaching the end. Because it doesn’t tell the whole story, it should contain the most important parts of the story. Give the reader the most significant, most interesting facts—the information that will make them want to find out more.
