There are thousands of outstanding tutorials on the web for Photoshop and Illustrator from which you and I can learn

This is the adaptation of one of them. This is the outside of a bi-fold brochure for Cingular Phones. The logo came from Illustrator. The brochure is duotone. The image was cut around. Stars were shapes in Photoshop. The headings had a stroke placed around them as did the vertical line with the Contact Details. Time taken to produce was around 45 mins (this included reading the tutorial and planning) Colour chosesn was thought to appeal to target audience and gave a feeling of quality.
