Every time when we walk through the streets, or when we visit an event we see them; in fact we even find them in our mailbox as well. But we never gave them much thought, after all they were practically stuff into our hands, without taking so much as a glance we would probably stuff those brochures or flyers into our bags or toss them into the nearest trash can. Don’t get me wrong here, it’s not that we do not appreciate the work of others, but more likely because we received these brochures on a daily basis. By the end of the day all these brochure designs look pretty much the same, plain, boring and full of facts.
However, a brochure is meant to do more than just reaching the hands of the audience, it is actually a key component when it comes to promoting, advertising and marketing an event, campaign or products. Which is why, designers will have to put more effort to hold the interest of the public by putting in more effort on the brochure designs. A normal brochure design could come in a variety of sizes or colors. They could be folded or bound or perhaps just act as a simple one-page leaflet; but they have one thing in common they contain details or information on a certain event, campaign or products. No matter how they were designed, brochures were meant to act as a guide or manual; passing on the message and details to the public; which is why the brochure design act as an important element to attract the attention and pique the curiosity of the public.
A great brochure design will make people notice it at first glance leading the person the read or find out more about the contents printed on the brochure. Not only that the brochure design could also act as advertising product giving a small preview to let the audience know what they are about to expect. Besides looking attractive to attract the intended audience, great brochure designs should also convey the right message, information printed on the brochure should be a summary and it should be easy to understand. Most of all, a great brochure design should stand out from the crowd and just screams to be picked-up and read!
Perhaps instead of talking we should just show you the brochure design examples that we found when we browse through some of them. These brochure design examples were simply amazing and just plain creative. It is a wonder how these designers could come up with such inspiring and unique designs. We hope to share these unusual brochure design examples and hope you find inspiration from them too!
