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?
 * My target audience is for a families vacation, or trip with your friends. This was a good target because it is the perfect place to go for a relaxing time with your friends and families, also if you are looking forward to have fun, and have an experience and a unforgettable moment that you want to have, It is also a good place for the audience the way the environment, the food, the tradition, you can also learn how to speak Spanish, how to cook like Puerto Rican do, and have a good time in Puerto Rico.
 * 1) What creative techniques are used to attract attention? How do the text, colors, language, images appeal to a specific audience? Provide specific examples from your work.
 * The techniques that I used to attract attention was. For example I have the picture of the San Felipe del Morro Castle, one of the biggest history in Puerto Rico that would be good for families and friends. I also attract attention with the color of the brochure is lightish blue whitch is perfect because it pops out the images that I have of the beaches and the San Felipe Castle, and the map witch is blue too, and the whole bio of Puerto Rico, the colors pops out also the writing ( the letters) the language is perfect for a person that speaks Spanish and that can translate to a tourist that needs the information. It also explain to the public the history, the map for the instruction, the beaches information the tradition Etc it explains everything that you need for a perfect brochure vacation.

 * Different people may understand this message differently if it applies to them. For example different people may understand this like a waist of time, since they have been there before, and they know everything about it, and they know how to get to the places that they need to be at. Other people may understand this as a good example for others( like tourist) to get more visitors, and the population to grow. Others may understand this interesting, because they don't know that much about Puerto Rico. The brochure might appeal to some people it depends if they want to traveled to this country
 * 1) What values, lifestyles and points of view are represented in, or omitted from, this message? The values and points of view that are represented in this message are, the tradition, beaches, the Spanish food, the perfect way how to spend your vacation time at the best hotels in Puerto Rico, and have the best vacation.
 * 2) Why would this message be distributed?

Problems and Solutions: What were the biggest problems that you encountered in completing the assignment. How did you solve the problems?

Honestly I didn't have problems doing this project, but I think one of the problems was the hotels, because there are a lot of hotels that are amazing and good, but you need to pick the nicest one, and the perfect one depending what type of vacation you want to have with your friends, and family.
