Process:So I first started off in Illustrator and created my logo, which I had a lot of fun doing. Then I looked the dimensions of a US passport and started creating the layout of my brochure in InDesign. I then Looked for some picture I could use to put on my passport to make it more interesting. Then I put the body copy on the layout and finished it. If i were to do it differently i would probably not have 250 words on my brochure because I felt like it started to get crowded. Other than that I

really like how this turned out.

Then one friend suggested that I turn the wings of butterfly into a boo. I took this advise and added my own twist to it. I created the pages of the book and had the wings in the background to resemble the cover of the book. Overall I had fun with this one.
