I created my gate fold brochure in Adobe InDesign, where I
measured and cropped my picture for the cover in
Photoshop. Inside of the brochure the background image
covers the entire page and I added in the images from google
around it. For the back cover I used a couple images from the

gradually, using masks. Use a mask to apply a filter to one
part of the image. Apply typography principles to the design.
Process
I found 4 different images on the web to create this design on

paper. I used the blending tool to create the montage and
added a Black and White filter to the bottom layers.

Drew four different sketches of what my flier could potentially look
like. I created the title by using one big grey box and typing in the
