Geologic Time Resorts - Project

Objective:

Time travel is possible, and as such we have harnessed this technology to create one-of-a-kind vacations for the adventurous customer looking for something new and exciting. You work at a major ecotourism company named “Geologic Time Resorts”. Your job is to create a brochure of your time period from the point of view of it being the PERFECT vacation. Think “Jurassic Park” not Six Flags. Keep in mind that providing our customers with the best information is not only good customer service but also ensures that our clients have a safe and well-planned adventure. We would hate to send someone to a hostile environment unprepared and lose out on future, repeat customer revenue.

Remember your coworkers are also creating brochures for their chosen time periods. The designer that attracts the most customers, and books the most vacations will be promoted to Head of Marketing and receive a pizza party in their honor (in lieu of a pay raise). Good luck!
