This is a brochure I just finished at work. I know it's kind of small, but I didn't want to bog down the load time. I'll put a link to a larger version below, if anyone is that interested.

 -

The thing folds up to the size of a business envelope. On the second page, the the big white space folds together to form a detatchable envelope and return card. You can see the mailing info for the return envelope on page 1.

I took all the photos myself at the local Boys & Girls Club and the brochure prints in three colors. We're cutting corners everywhere [Smile]

It's far from sci-fi, but any thoughts?

Bigger version here:

I'm pretty sure that the average dimensions of a girl from the Boys & Girls Club is at least two centimeters taller than you're showing, and I don't think the model in the upper right was commissioned until 2007. (Before the Russians discover the Tunguska Artifact but after the Earth Defense Initiative is founded.) I mean, I guess I can accept that the design was in the works before contact with the Proxima Diaspora, but that's stretching it.

At any rate, assuming these are being built during the war, don't you think their weaponry should be a bit heavier?

Um, yes. Seconding that emotion. Simon=TEH WINNAR

In other news, it is a really clever and well-thought out design, Aban. Esp. impressive with the three-color. Some nice photo work there too.

How does that fold? it looks strange for a standard letter fold or gatefold brochure: looks like the photos would not line up too well.

Nice design work though.
Why the large blank space in the interior though? Is this intended to be a shell master so additional printing can be custom added?

First post: "On the second page, the big white space folds together to form a detatchable envelope and return card."

The big white space is the inside of the envelope when it folds together.

I'll try to explain the fold... The return card (second page right) is perffed and folds down over the back of the envelope, which then folds on top of itself and is glued together. Detachable envelope acts as a fourth panel. Then you just keep folding it inward.

The unusual open space next to the kid hanging upside down is the flap of the envelope. Then there's a perf, so I didn't want to overlap anything.

I never bothered to learn the names of all the folds, I just always provide folding mockups to the printer. It's my little way of making their lives hell.

Another little nugget that I just finished this afternoon, also for the Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Joseph County:

 -

Two colors only. I used photos from the same photoshoot as the brochure (some are even the same). This will be the front side of the card, and will likely get recycled as the cover to the invitation and program. I'll do the backside Monday.
