This spa’s brochure needed to be a simple one letter-folded sheet to give to customers—no need to “sell,” nothing to mail. With a built-in audience in familiar surroundings, you’d think that design would be easy, but telling a clear story in words and pictures would still be as demanding. This 18-page article from issue 50 of Before&After Magazine demonstrates how some carefully selected stock images and crystal-clear type help a small business present its story beautifully and inexpensively.
The cover is your most important page. It attracts the viewer and sets her expectation. Although work can begin elsewhere, the cover requires a strong, focused image.
