This is far from an easy task and there are a few ways in which you might choose to go about this. One option is to divide your brochure up into a series of chapters. Perhaps each of them will have a particular colour, theme or style. Maybe they will be printed on different paper or have tabs to separate them from their neighbours. Using the same typefaces or the same grid layout will help to ensure they blend and feel right together. design contains sections separated by An alternative would be to create several smaller or thinner brochures, all housed within one box or folder.

Incorporating letterpress, die-cutting, varnishing, thermography, metallic inks and so on can add real depth (sometimes quite literally) to your design and transform your brochure into something really special. Talk to your printer upfront about what they can offer and it might give you some inspiration that takes your design in a completely different direction.Printing specs Well before you begin your design, it's important to think about the brochure printing process and make sure that you talk to your printer about their particular specifications at the outset. Choose your paper stocks and chat about any special finishes you require. Ask to see samples and compare prices. The more you know about the process, the more effective your choices will be. Once you've finished designing, but before you send your beautiful brochure to the printer, double check that your page sizes, bleed settings, margins, gutter areas, etc are correct, and that you've provided the crop marks that your printer needs. For brochure printing, all images should be high-resolution (i.e. dpi or higher at final output size) and CMYK. Your fonts should all be embedded and if you're printing digitally, you shouldn't use 'Rich Black' (ask your printer whether they have a particular black they recommend if you're unsure about this).
