Colonial Brochure

The colonial brochure project is done in groups [generally groups of 4] over the period of about a week. It can be done in one of three styles:

1.) A large tri-fold brochure.
2.) A large poster.
3.) A large scroll.

The idea is to create an advertisement to entice Europeans to come settle in the colonies.
