The first piece is an excerpt from a booklet designed for a CD on the Maya. It is a 4-color production sized for inclusion in a CD jewel case.

Here is an excerpt from a newspaper, printed on broadsheet-size newsprint. The concepts involved in designing the layout of a newspaper are similar to the design principles that would pertain to a brochure, catalog or booklet. Costs can be reduced by printing with only one spot color for accent.

Newsletters can also be printed in tabloid size, as in the example here. This four-color production allows photos and illustrations to be reproduced in full color.

When cost-savings is required, documents can be printed in black and white, as in the travel brochure at left

Full color can make items in a catalog more appealing. If you have products to sell, full-color design can show them off to best advantage. The auction catalog of antiquities, left, shows how an attractive layout can be designed to create a trifold brochure on legal-size paper.

When originality is important, custom design and custom illustration can set your printed pieces apart and make them distinctive. These two pieces are custom-designed invitations for a company barbecue. The fold-over card was digitally drawn with the grill cover on the front, so that unfolding it would mimic lifting the lid off the grill to see what's cooking inside.

Posters in full color create a lot of impact and grab attention. If you have an important event to publicize, nothing serves as effectively as colorful eye-catching design.
