Brochure Design Tips
Brochures typically are a flat size of 8 1/2" x11" or 11"x17". The number and types of folds selected in your layout enable you to create a variety of print communications in terms of look and function. For instance, tri-fold an 8 1/2" x 11" sheet to create a 6 panel or page (3 front and 3 back) brochure which can also be designed as a self-mailer. Fold an 11" x 17" sheet in half and you have a terrific 4-page brochure or catalog. As a result, your design concept begins with the amount of information to display within the constraints of the size and layout. Start with a layout that includes the text and images you will need to convey your message. Brochure design can be a challenge, so you might consider using a professional designer or the in house design department of your printer. For more brochure design tips, click here.
