This is the best task to now, I really enjoyed doing this task!

For this I wanted to make a travel brochure for Dovre National Park, the wildlife edition. I wanted to make a seasonal edition where you can read about the different seasons, and what you are able to see throughout the four seasons.

I’ve used the same photo for the frontside and the backside, so if you fold it out you can see the whole photo.

Page two is the overall info about exploring the wildlife at Dovre, while the third is more about how important it is to care about the welfare for both the nature and the wildlife. The photo on these two pages is my own photo from my trip there in February.

Page 4-7 is the four seasons with animals. I’ve only used one photo for each season so it wouldn’t get to much photo, what you can see of wildlife will be written under/over the photo. I used a colored rectangle under the type that I dragged into the middle to give it a more interested look.

Now I’m really looking forward to starting on my egg booklet, I really like doing task like this!

All of the photos except the one that I’ve taken is from stock.adobe.
