Making a brochure

Ques. #1 : The Project: make a brochure €“ can just be a word document and doesn’t have to formatted like one but if you know how to do it that’s even better.
You have been hired by a travel agency that caters to well-educated, culturally sensitive clients who travel to learn as much as they can about the wider world. A substantial number are interested in archaeology, ancient history, and human paleontology, but they insist on travel itineraries that relate to a theme or region that is archaeologically significant. Your boss wants you to develop a travel package or trip that will appeal to her clientele and provide the proof she needs to hire you as full time, regular staff.
Your task: Develop a thematic travel itinerary and brochure for a 10-day anthropological excursion to any part of the globe that visits five (5) specific archaeological or paleoanthropology sites (early man). Your itinerary must include at least 5 sites from one of the regions listed below. You will be required to provide information about each site including what they will see, the importance of it, the approximate age, who discovered it if known and why they should see it. Basically you are to sell them as to why the particular site is important and worth visiting. Also include the species of early man involved where applicable. You will need to include photos and possibly maps of the sites will need to be included. Please note that all text must be presented in your own words€“downloading or copying site or museum descriptions from published sources, either in print or on the web, is inappropriate.
The HiIDen Agenda: The travel agency is an arm of a non-profit organization whose mission is to increase awareness about cultural diversity, provide education, and enhance the preservation of cultural and historical resources around the globe. Your boss is integral to the non-profit’s mission and is especially concerned that many indigenous communities and archaeological sites aredisappearing under the axe of global economic development. She wishes to communicate these ethics and the need for preservation to her clients who travel on the agency’s excursions. €“Please excuse the formatting below!
