 * 7) Peso: http://www.countryreports.org/country/mexico/economy/currencyexchange.htm
 * 8) For information I used Country Reports and Cheap Carribean Tours.

Discuss the following:

 * 1) What is the target audience? Explain why this was a good audience for the country you were researching. Why would they be interested in the country?
 * 2) The target audience was older couples looking to go on vacation. I chose this audience because there are many cruises and vacation spots in Mexico, which is something that older people seem to like. If I was going towards a more young audience, I may have listed several party locations or star singers from the specific area.
 * 3) What creative techniques are used to attract attention? How do the text, colors, language appeal to a specific audience. Provide specific examples.
 * 4) I use colorful pictures well as a good balance of text. I tried to use a sophisticated text and pictures so that I could atract older couples. Also, I tried to choose food that looks good and also tastes good so that I can atract a larger audience. I also used the color red so that I can relate my brochure to happy, jubilant colors.
 * 5) How might different people understand this message differently? (Would a different audience find the brochure appealing to them? why or why not?)
 * 6) I think that the audience wouldnt affect the appeal of the brochure to people, becuase tours are something people of all ages like to experience. The appeal of the brochure may be lessoned, but the overall affect would not be changed.
 * 7) What Language of Persuasion did you use? Provide examples of the application to your document.
 * 8) I used Repitition, Plain Folks, and Association. I repeated for people to come to Mexico over and over again. I used plain folks by saying that everyday people in the United States can come. Finally, using bright and vibrant colors I associated Mexico with hapiness.
 * 9) What values, lifestyles and points of view are represented in, or omitted from, this message?
 * 10) The lifestyle of an american is represented in this tour. I am trying to convince americans to come on this tour, as well as people from canada.
 * 11) Why would this message be distributed?
 * 12) This message would be distributed because this message would increase popularity of the country for tourism.

Problems and Solutions: What were the biggest problems that you encountered in completing the assignment. How did you solve the problems?
 * One of the biggest problems that I faced was finding good information, but with using sources such as country reports, I was easily able to overcome my problem.
