Project Overview
This brochure was created by 6th-grade students from the Genesee Community Charter School, in Rochester, New York, who prepared the report entitled Reshaping Rochester.
This brochure was used as part of a promotional campaign highlighting the work of students on the Grasso-Zimmer Plan, an effort to re-water the dry Erie Canal waterway that runs through the center of downtown Rochester.
The brochure was produced and printed in-house, on the school’s professional-quality copying machine. The original was an 8 ½ by 11 inches, 4-page, tri-fold brochure, printed on glossy high-quality paper.
