Featured Creative Brochure Designs

Many businesses count brochures as a key piece in their marketing arsenal, along with their business cards, direct mail pieces like postcards, and of course their websites. One company that uses brochures to successfully convey the warmth and hospitality of their fly fishing lodge is Yellowstone Valley Lodge. Their brochure, a 9 x 16" closed gate fold, uses a folded, closed vertical orientation to achieve two things: ease of placement in standard sized brochure racks and a closed gatefold to maximize real estate of the printed piece. At first glance, the size is similiar to most "rack cards" or other tri-fold brochures, but once an interested customer grabs one, they begin to unfold not once, but two more times, revealing pertinent text and compelling photographs.

The tri-fold used on this 11 x 25 brochure makes a big impression. Using the large 3 panel brochure format, the designer arranged multiple high quality pictures that are evenly spaced throughout the piece without over crowding the brochure. The three panel brochure makes a cost effective small catalog with three times the space to present your products and services than a standard 8 1/2 x 11 brochure. Chef de Paris put the space to good use to increase sales. Read the review of this effective 3 Panel Brochure.
