Tips for Attention-Grabbing Flyer and Brochure Images

Keep It Simple

There is no need to completely fill your next flyer or brochure with images and text.

Keep things clean and simple so that the most important things stand out.

Stay Relevant

Stick to the main message.

If you are going for one specific theme, stay with it. Do not try to do too much on one flyer or brochure. Relevance with your theme will ensure your message is not lost in translation.

Capture the Mood

Do you want your target audience to feel inspired, amused, or inspired? Choose an image or two that will evoke an emotional response.

Images that include people are great for creating an emotional connection with your audience. Eye contact through portraits connects people to your marketing image, creating a bond that will grow brand recognition and retention.

Balance

Ensure a balance between the images, spacing, white space (also called negative space), and the focal points.

Have you heard of the Rule of Thirds?

The Rule of Thirds is a composition guideline that suggests the ideal placement of an image so that you do not overcrowd your page, which is to have the photo or focal point take up only one-third of the overall page.

Pictures are powerful tools to utilize in your print marketing. Nothing quite captures the human eye or evokes emotions like an image. Choosing your pictures intentionally can make or break your next ad campaign.

Dad-Approved Print Marketing: Tough, Practical, and Built to Last

Father’s Day may be behind us, but the dad energy lives on. You know what we’re talking about—classic dad traits: practical, no-nonsense, a little sarcastic, probably wearing cargo shorts, and definitely giving side-eye to your “modern” marketing campaign. And if we’re being honest? Your next print project could probably use a little more of that. So let’s take a moment—post-Father’s Day—to appreciate what dads (and dad-like marketing) have always done best: kept things simple, sturdy, and surprisingly effective. Here’s what your next print piece might look like if it were designed by everyone’s favorite unofficial brand strategist: Dad. 1. Paper So Thick It Could Be a Coaster If your brochure can't double as a shim for a wobbly table leg, your dad would probably question your paper choice. He doesn’t believe in flimsy print.
