BROCHURE DESIGN : When a flyer is not enough
Brochures are ideal when you need to add more space to add information about your services or products and still using a cost effective solution. Brochures are different to flyers since they make use of folding panels to divide the information contained. With more space and panels you can sort the contents (prices, product ranges, company overview) in a more professional way. To design a nice and effective brochure you will need an eye catchy front cover, and a well distributed content.
BROCHURE DESIGN FORMATS
The standard formats for brochures are DL, A5 and A4 being the DL the most popular due to its cost and practical size. Depending on the application and the way in which the brochure will be distributed, you can make use of different stock paper to provide an economical or high end look and feel. From 100 gsm (same as bond paper) to 250 gsm (thicker stock) you can tailor the design of your new brochure.
