Brochure Design Panel-by-Panel

A panel-by-panel brochure design begins by deciding the purpose of your print brochures. Whether the purpose of your brochure project is to grab the consumer’s attention or to educate the consumer with detailed information, you can design the right brochure panel by panel. Here are a few tips.

First Things First
Each brochure project will be a little different, you will first need to define the purpose of your project and the target market. Take into account the purpose, and tailor your message to the target audience. The design should also be tailored to the purpose of your print brochures.

The content chosen to be included should always fall under the purpose you have defined for your brochure printing piece. Be sure that it will be relevant to the target audience in order to make an impact on your audience.

Cover-by-Cover
The front cover must have a compelling attention grabber. Display information in a quickly comprehended manner. Readers should be able to grasp the name of your company and the purpose of your brochure at a quick glance. Any information included on the cover should be in short, easy-to-read phrases.

The inside cover is a good location for a brief overview of the contents of your print brochures. An overview helps readers know what information can be found within the brochure and quickly find the section they need to answer their questions. Once readers know the information they want is contained in the brochure, they will be more likely to continue reading.

The back cover is generally another location for the name and logo of your business. If your brochure is meant for direct mail, you will need to reserve space for the consumer address and postage.

The remaining three panels are available to detail and expound upon the purpose you have for printing your brochures. This center spread should cover all the benefits of your products and services. Also include a call to action: visit our website, come by our store, call a knowledgeable representative today. The goal is to create a layout of information that is easy to read and regales readers of benefits, benefits, and more benefits they will gain when doing business with your company.
