The YMCA brochure I designed!

My scan wasn't perfectly straight, but my second attempt wasn't any straighter than the first (likely because the brochure has creases from being folded), so it will just have to do.

On the front is a photo of my daughter-in-law, Joy, and her two children, Kaleigh and Kamdyn. It was this photo that I "doctored." The center (back) photo shows Kaleigh playing in the Y nursery. The CEO, Ken Rapp, and a sweet member are featured on another panel -- and a little boy who was enrolled in the Y Day Camp (mama signed a release form) was photographed during a group swim lesson.

Below is the "original" photo. Can you compare and see the results of my photo surgery?? I removed a window sticker that seemed attached to Kamdyn's head...removed a bruise from Joy's leg (you're welcome, Joy :)...straightened the mats in several places...and removed a tiny window sticker that peeked between Joy's waist and arm. Kaleigh was PERFECT -- no touch-ups needed!! (grin)

The brochure is being mailed to several hundred prospects and business professionals in our community, so I was TICKLED that Ken allowed me to use my own family members as models! It made the project LOTS more fun than it would have been had I just recruited unknown YMCA members or used stock pictures from the national Y website.
