Five Creative and Unique Brochure Designs

12 Dec

There are lots of ways to express creativity, and one that is often overlooked is the way print can be used creatively to promote your business. Brochures are one of the oldest forms of information delivery in the modern world. There are lots of creative ways these can be used to both deliver a message and educate your target audience. The rise of online print companies has made the production of print products more practical than ever, so if you've ever had reason to create a brochure of your own, now is the time to act and see what else is out there. Whether you need a 48 hour print or a custom job, pretty much anything can be had these days. Below are several of my favorite brochure designs I found around the 'net.

This one makes creative use of cutouts, very cool!

Who says your brochure has to be a rectangle? This one unfolds, and unfolds, and unfolds some more from its triangle shape to form a "7", which is on brand for this company.

Kind of a "brochure within a brochure" type feel to this one. Regardless, I think it looks very interesting.

This one sort of reminds me that childhood game where you unfold the paper in different ways to reveal different answers. Hey, people like to unfold things, it can't hurt!

I think this one is relevant because it calls out to the kind of style that many infographics use, and those things are quite popular these days. It also gives the opportunity for nice bite size bits of information.

That's it for today, if you are in the brochure market, I hope you are inspired to make something creative, good luck!

Domino Magazine

11 Aug

This past January the bad news hit that Domino Magazine was no more. A true loss in the interior decorating world. This magazine was the most inspirational and informative decorating guide in my eyes. Unfortunately, I did not collect every issue and now I am wishing I did. The really good news is that you can find old issues on eBay! How great is that?

Also, if you don't want to buy individual issues of the magazine I recommend getting a copy of domino: the book of decorating. It's more like the Bible of decorating. This is BY FAR my favorite decorating book and I absolutely love the way it is laid out. Each chapter goes room to room and is filled with inspiration and tips. I cannot recommend this book enough!
