    nice work... I'd probably fill the "holes" in the mountains - it looked fine with the blank background but now they stand out a little

    Thanks for your comments.
    I think that I am way past shifting major structures.
    I have roughly 40 layers and 5 major checkpoints "save as single" layers.
    I have to go with what I have. It has been a great exercise.
    All done in Gimp. I made my own hose brushes for mountains and trees.
    I am still toying with making it into a threefold brochure. I'll play with that idea , but I think I am pretty well done with this.

    EDIT I must have hit the Praise button instead of the Post Button and I do not know how to to edit that tag.
    Can a moderator please alter that tag to POST instead of PRAISE

    I just could not resist to try a bit more . Added some folds to make it look like a folded brochure and a little bit of drop shadow to make it lie not quite flat on the marbled stone slab.

    Well done - this adds a lot to the brochure look.

    Thank You Moe for your comments.
    I did just a little bit more and I am going to call it finished! I have tilted it and added a paperclip and attachment to make it less formal.
    This is my first challenge and I learned a lot.

    What time period is this? If its a medieval esque one.. The paperclip is out of place if it is.

    Hi Evil, I had hoped that the tone and content of the brochure pointed to modern times. At least that was my intention.

    I believe Harry Potter goes to a modern, albeit strange, school in a modern England somewhere.

    I like that it is tilted now and the white paper in the back is nice either.
    But for my personal taste the background is too dark now - I'd prefer the lighter version of the previous WIP.

    I like everything tilted ... looks good, and I think it conveys modern time fine. I'm not a fan of the clip - either it should be gone or it should be put all the way down over the brochure with some slight creasing of the paper
