How to Make a Travel Brochure for India

India has about 5 million tourists per year and many of these are wealthy or retired Americans. Because of this, the demand for information about India tourism has also increased. You might have a task of creating a travel brochure for the country, or you just might want to design a brochure as an example of your graphic design talent. Learn how to illustrate and create an informational and interesting brochure from start to finish.

Instructions

1

Research India to the fullest. The best way to do this is to venture to India in person and check out the sights and sounds for yourself. If you are unable to make the trip, bring India to you in the form of books, videotapes and Internet resources.

2

Decide what you want to highlight in your travel brochure. Keep in mind that most travel brochures have a little bit of everything inside. Make sure to mention India's beaches (all 4,671 miles of them), historical landmarks (the Stone Age rock shelters located in Madhya Pradesh) or the world's largest film industry, Bollywood.

3

Write for your audience. Travel brochures are meant to be informational, but short and easy read for potential tourists. Many people with different educations, ages and interests read travel brochures, so keep the writing simple and to the point.

4

Collect photographs for your brochure. Use personal photographs from your trip or search the Internet or library for photographs. Just be sure to credit the photographers in your work.

5

Assemble your brochure. One of the most professional ways to do this is by using your computer. There are many programs to assist you in making a brilliant brochure. Adobe Illustrator and InDesign both have great programs for making tri-fold brochures. You can also use Adobe Photoshop to edit your photographs.

6

Get your brochure out there. Pass out your brochure to family members and friends or ask local businesses if you can put your brochure on their counters. Take the brochure to yoga class, to the park or to work. Even if you don't think people might be interested in India, they may be interested in your artistic talent and that could lead to more creative opportunities for you.
