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.
