2. Brochures

3. A brochure (also referred to as a pamphlet)
is a type of leaflet. Brochures are advertising
pieces mainly used to introduce a company
or organization, and inform about products
and/or services to a target audience.
Brochures are distributed by mail, handed
personally or placed in brochure racks.

4. TYPES
Bi-fold (a single sheet printed on both sides
and folded into halves)
Tri-fold (the same, but folded into thirds).
Z-fold
C-fold

5. FEATURES
Booklet brochures are made of multiple sheets
most often saddle stitched (stapled on the creased
edge) or "perfect bound" like a paperback book,
and result in eight panels or more.
Brochures are often printed using four colour
process on thick gloss paper to give an initial
impression of quality.
Compared with a flyer or a handbill, a brochure
usually uses higher-quality paper, more colour, and
is folded.

6. WHAT TO INCLUDE
Decide on a purpose or theme for your brochure. Is the
brochure focusing on an event, telling about a company or
providing information about a social program?
Choose information to go in the brochure. Include only the
absolute main points. Remember that a brochure is pretty
small in size so you won’t be able to fit everything. And, stay
focused on the theme.
Be concise. After you’ve decided what to include, think about
how to say it. Even if you think your text is concise, most likely
you will still need to cut information to make it fit.
Use bulleted lists as an easy-to-read way of presenting
information.

Typography: Although leaflets generally are small,
they should contain comparatively large print,
particularly when directed toward the audience.
Colour: A judicious use of colour is important in the
appearance of the leaflet. The number of colours
available will be limited by the type of printing
equipment available.
