Brochure Design Tips

Tips to keep in mind when designing your brochure!

  1. Use color to focus attention on your main points and to improve the perception of quality.
  2. Avoid trying to jam too much information into a small space. In good brochure design, less is more.
  3. Don’t overlook the value of white space to bring a clean look to your design and to help accentuate key points.
  4. For readability, consider using a serif type for body copy. Studies have shown that serif type is easier to read.
    Sans serif type is good for headlines and subheads.
  5. Limit the number of font families you use. Don't use more than 3 font families in your brochure project.
