Brochure
Design Books -- Brochures: Making a Strong Impression : 85 Strategies
for the Message-Driven Design
Price: $29.70
Save: $15.30Brochures: Making
a Strong Impression contains a collection of brochures that have proved
to be more difficult to nail than most, pieces that have truly pushed
designer?s creativity and forced them to reach inside.
Each brochure will be shown with a succinct amount of copy discussing
the essence of the book and the challenge of designing it. Each brochure
will be given one full spread and there will be several shots showing
the cover and interior alongside it. Unlike most books
on brochures which either give no context or an abundant amount of not
necessarily important information is given, this book will provide the
reader with a succinct but poignant bit of information which provides
important context to the work and is short enough that a reader can process
it quickly. The text will be brief but organized clearly into three sections:
the challenge, the process and the result.
This format will
allow the reader to access the precise information they need immediately.
There will be approximately 90 brochures profiled, 8 of the brochures
will be a redesign that will be designed as sidebars. These will show
the original design and the new design. The rest of the content will be
new work, a third of which is from outside North America.
