Color Brochure |

For information for your color brochure click on the link
below:

Brochure Design Tips
Tips to keep in mind when designing your brochure!
-
Use color to
focus attention on your main points and to improve the
perception of quality.
-
Avoid trying to
jam too much information into a small space. In good
brochure design, less is more.
-
Don’t overlook
the value of white space to bring a clean look to your
design and to help accentuate key points.
-
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.
-
Limit the number
of font families you use. Don't use more than 3 font
families in your brochure project.
