Designing a brochure? Here are a few things to keep in mind:
Theme your colors according to the mood you want to set – bold, bright, energetic or soft and muted. This depends on the subject of your brochure.
White space applies not just to the color white but to any part of the design that is not covered by other elements such as text and photos. White space allows breathing room for text and provides contrast with color or photographs.
Choose the right fonts for your subject – make the text speak using size, color and font weightage. Don’t use too many fonts.
Make it all hang together to make one coherent whole, using unifying elements like grids, page layout, colors, thematic graphic elements, fonts, keeping the directional flow of text in mind.
Ask the reader to write in, send a coupon, fill a form, make a call, or go to the store. Give these details clearly and provide focus elements like color,font size, graphic design – circles, squares, dotted lines etc to set the call to action apart from other text.
Break the monotony of text, page folds etc which seem to demand perfect symmetry. It’s okay to experiment with asymmetrical design – see the examples below.
Shapes in design help to
-organize, connect or separate distinct elements
– symbolize an idea
– create dynamism and movement
-provide a framework for content.
Used in conjunction with colors, shapes can convey emotion and mood or provide emphasis and focus.

Today in the age of technology, retro styles are still in vogue. We are seeing a resurgence of geometric shapes in graphic design – an influence of the art deco style that once ruled the 1920’s and made a comeback in the 1960’s. The art deco style with its mix of ornamentation and simple forms grew out of the wealth, power, luxury and speed of the Roaring 20’s and the functionality and simplicity of post-war austerity. It drew its inspiration from the machine age while breaking traditional art barriers. Art deco was characterized by geometric shapes, streamlined forms, bright colors and influenced other art styles like Pop Art. We see the impact of art deco styles in the geometric art used in many of the brochures below.
