Do you want people to take notice of your brochure? We've compiled a list of expert-recommended changes that will take your brochure from excellent to exceptional, so you don't have to.
We offer a number of fantastic brochure templates(opens in new tab) you may use if you'd prefer not have to start from scratch when designing your brochure. But if you want to go all out and design it from scratch, you should aim to produce something that will be the centrepiece of your portfolio (opens in new tab).
Brochures sometimes receive a poor name from the general public because of how they may either overwhelm the reader with too much information or bore them to death. The quality of the information contained therein is irrelevant if no one is going to bother to read the thing despite the fact that it is likely to be jam-packed.
Here are 25 tips to help you create a brochure that people will want to share with their networks.
If you're going to be using images in your design, make sure they're of a decent enough resolution. Images can't be utilised bigger on any page of the brochure if they aren't good resolution.
When possible, pair together pages with backgrounds of the same style. There will be visual continuity between pages 2 and 3, with backgrounds that look the same.
If you're designing a brochure and the backdrop is dark, you should always use varnish or lamination. A black backdrop seems expensive, yet it's not appropriate for a brochure with a limited budget. It makes sense to use white.
The cover of the brochure might feature an abstract piece of art. Lines and shapes in abstract painting may always make anything appear more complete. Don't make the mistake of cramming too much information onto the front page of the cover.
Simplistic design may make a huge impact without becoming dull. The brochure's title stands out against the white backdrop by being embossed in a basic, clear typeface. Despite the lack of contrast, the overall impression is quite crisp and contemporary. The brochure's embossing may be carried over into the inside, giving it a unique touch.
Asking clients why they think they need a brochure is a good place to start when planning the layout of your brochure. Then, have them write out their goals. There are situations when they just desire one after finding no success with a previous brochure. When they present you with a brief, it's important to stand back and assess their goals.
The booklet appears straightforward at first sight. It's a big, heavy book with lots of details. However, unfolding the cover shows a lovely flower design that goes perfectly with the bold red of the first page. Even something as simple as concealing lovely flowers can have a profound effect on your audience.
When considering brochure design, you only need three fonts: a primary font for the heading, a secondary font for the subheadings, and a body copy font. Unfortunately, this misconception that a special headline font must be used is extremely common. Font selection is typically driven by the client, who will likely have an established brand identity.
Incorporate any actual objects (such as a CD or DVD) into your brochure in a creative way. You aren't confined to the conventional short back sleeve. The CD will now automatically emerge and be offered to you. Because of the design of the pop out, an otherwise flat room is given depth and dimension.
