Design a story-style brochureFold—and unfold—a single sheet into an appealing, narrative-like presentation.

. . . open once . . .

. . . then twice.

One sheet, big impact Unfolding a legal-size sheet reveals your story in a natural, step-at-a-time sequence. Semi-abstract cover (inset above) beckons the reader in. Open once (right, top) to a beautiful yard, where a narrative panel introduces the business. Open twice (right, bottom), and photos, captions and text appear that explain in detail.

Front cover . . .

The best books, plays, songs and speeches are in a storybook format—they have a beginning, a middle, an end, each building to the next, and all the parts tie coherently together. It’s easy to put this engaging style to work in a small brochure. Fold and design your sheet so the reader sees your presentation in sequence.

Each space tells a different part of the story, and all share a common style. It’s inexpensive, it feels big, and it’s fun to make. Here’s how.

The company name is confidently small but has plenty of presence. Three reasons: It’s 1) in the middle of the page, 2) alone in the green field, and 3) framed by the fountain.

Start with the coverThe cover has two jobs: it must introduce (Hi, we’re . . .) and invite (Come in!). To do this visually, make the photo do some of the work. Here, it hints at more to come.

It’s the front door To choose an image for your cover, think of a portal or a gate-way. Above, the closely cropped fountain suggests an arch that puts the reader in a “doorway,” and its soft-focus back-ground hints at the beauty beyond. This is ideal. Then place the name directly in the reader’s line of sight (right, top).

Lowercase Roman type says casual with-out appearing frivolous or insignificant.

Small, bold, UPPERCASE is a

visible counter-weight.

The text block is straight on the right, ragged on the left. The straight side “con-nects” it to the page edge, and the ragged side “connects” it to the fountain, whose curves it follows (left). Similarly, the type-styles (above) include an irregular, serif name and a crisp, sans-serif description.

Make it big By completely filling the page, the beautiful backyard presents a grand, inviting image. The wall-to-wall cropping conveys a sense of outdoor spaciousness by avoiding the confining effect of a frame. The image stops at the flap but appears to go further (above); the promise of more beckons the reader to open the flap.

Open once . . .and the reader “walks through the door” into a beautiful welcome. Typeset an introduction on the flap, which, unlike a static page, actively suggests more to come.

Dual-function flap works as an introduction and the next “door.” The narrow text block is aligned both left and right, or justified, which emphasizes its height and complements the flap. Very wide line spacing slows the reader to a conversational speed. The green color is eye-droppered from the photo, so it automatically coordinates.

Original Cropped

Image and text together can be more than the sum of their parts. To make the most of their strengths, let the photo speak for itself, while you in narrative speak directly to the reader.

Four steps to a backyard escape

Open twiceInside is what the reader has come to see. With the brochure open flat, four more images and captions plus a complete narrative describe the product fully.

Group the new photos A huge difference in scale—one very BIG photo and four small ones—allows five simi-lar images to share the space peacefully. Note that the small photos are all one size and tightly set in a column, which amplifies their pres-ence and keeps the layout beautifully organized.

Hairlines

Wide Medium Narrow

Our eyes follow sequence Above, wide, medium and narrow columns make the design dynamic by moving the eye left to right; same-width columns would be static. Our eyes also recognize visual rhythm, seen here in the alternating dark-light-dark columns.

Four steps to a backyard escape

Impressum (above) is a faintly quirky serif type-face whose irregular thicks and thins and halting rhythm resemble the organic shapes of nature yet read comfortably. The black text follows the rule, “color attracts, black explains,” and makes it clear it’s intended to be read. The two captions are an exception; while their type specs match, color difference (black/white) is needed for contrast.

is your backyard. There, surrounded by greenery, fragrant

flowers, and objects you love, you can relax and reconnect

For continuity, the type color matches the previous flap.

The

Three reasons: It’s 1) in the middle

of the page, 2) alone in the green field, and 3) fram

Th

It’s the

fron

t do

or To choose an im

age for your cover, think of a portal or a gate-w

ay. Above, the closely cropped fountain

suggests an arch that puts the reader in a “doorw

ay,” and its soft-focus back-ground hints at the beauty beyond. This is ideal. Then place the nam

e directly in the reader’s line of sight (right, top).

By com

pletely filling the page, the beautiful backyard presents a grand, inviting im

age. The wall-to-w

all cropping conveys a sense of outdoor spaciousness by avoiding the confining effect of a fram

e. The image stops at the

flap but appears to go further (above); the prom

ise of more beckons the reader

to open the flap. Op

as an introduction and the next “door.” The narrow

text block is aligned both left and right, or justified, w

hich em

phasizes its height and com

plements the flap. Very

wide line spacing slow

s the reader to a conversational speed. The green color is eye-droppered from

the photo, so it autom

atically coordinates.

Image and text together can be m

ore than the sum of their parts. To

make the m

ost of their strengths, let the photo speak for itself, while

you in narrative speak directly to the reader.
