• Leaflet Design Advice

    Date: 26.02.2010 by radzi Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

    A leaflet is almost as simple to design and produce as a flyer – the difference between a flyer and a leaflet is that a flyer is usually printed one or both sides, but it is not folded. A leaflet is more akin to a newspaper – it is folded, sometimes with a bi-fold (one fold in the center) or tri-fold (turning the paper into a 3 page pullout. The leaflet is usually printed on both sides too, but because it is usually one color but has a layout which resembles a newsletter. The first thing to do when designing a leaflet is to roughly draft out the layout by first folding the paper into the format you are looking for




  • Color Issues in Printing

    Date: 21.02.2010 by darkN Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , ,

    Color is a key element in print and graphic design (including web design) – good use of color will make an ad, induce prospective readers to pick up your collateral and add that “Factor X” which makes a great flyer. Poor use of color will result in a further contribution to the local landfill! Color must be made to be subservient to the overall rendition of the printed material – the message is key and all the other elements, such as layout, fonts, spacing, imagery and graphics must fall into line along with color in supporting the message. If you use color badly, this will disrupt the overall impact and impression you are looking to create. Too much will overload the material and prove a distraction from the result you are looking for. Too little color will render the printed material bland and lifeless. You must strike a balance which can sometimes be a very fine line and is where an experienced print designer and partner are worth every cent of the money they charge. Smaller projects, such as a business card, may use only one color, though two-colors will usually have a greater effect on the finished product. Multiple color schemes should usually be limited to the se of four colors to avoid overkill. No matter what the number of colors you use, you always should ensure that there is enough white space to contrast and place a setting for whatever imagery and colored text you are using to sit within




  • Uniformity of Message

    The most important element of your business printed material is not the presentation; not the graphics; not the layout; not the paper; not the fonts and colors. The most important element of any business print job is the message – the printed word. “Uniformity of message” simply means that all of your business communications relay the same message




  • Calendar Print Tips

    Date: 17.02.2010 by radzi Tags: , , , , , , , , , ,

    Calendars are a great promotional tool for use with clients and prospects – they follow one very important sales rule – they are in front of the client all of the time! If you print calendars up for use with your clients and prospects there are some simple rules to follow when putting the design together. Use Good Quality Materials You need to have a superior print finish for a calendar to be used by a customer. They are not going to hang something on the wall if it made from poor quality paper or has a poor print finish. Do not skimp on the cost of the materials and work with your print partner to deliver the best result for your budget. It is better to reduce the print run and be more selective in handing the calendars out to people than have a larger print run of poor quality (as many will never be used). Include an Appointment Book Making sure there is adequate space to include appointments and key dates is a good tip – make sure you include all the key dates that you can think of
