__**Travel Brochure **__ You will be creating a travel brochure for the Orient Express train, following the route you have chosen. This assignment has several stages; complete them thoroughly and in order.

Stage One

 * Using the map found [|here], select a route from London to EITHER Athens or Istanbul
 * Using appropriate search terms, locate photographs of attractions in each city
 * Select one or two photographs for each city
 * Drill down to get the highest resolution possible and then save a copy of the photo in your "Orient" folder
 * Record the URL of the photograph in an ongoing document titled //YLN//_orient saved in your "Orient" folder

Stage Two

 * Use GiMP to create a photomontage (or composite) for the brochure that combines the original photo with a photo of you
 * You will need to create layers and learn how to merge two pictures
 * Save each file as a .//xcf// as well as as a .jpg (the .xcf will save your layers for further editing, but you will need the .jpg to import into your brochure)
 * Each composite should give a professional view of you on the tour provided via the Orient Express
 * N.B. You do not have to use every picture you found; you must have at least one picture for each city on your route but you may find that some pictures you saved do not work well as composites.

Stage Tnree

 * For each city/picture, write a brief (2-5 sentence) paragraph that proclaims the glories of the city, trying to persuade the reader to visit the city via the Orient Express
 * This should be written in your //YLN//_orient file from Stage One
 * Proofread carefully for spelling and grammar errors.

Stage Four

 * Use a piece of card stock to create a tri-fold or quad-fold dummy brochure
