A great place to find design inspiration is in brochures, flyers and leaflets. Companies have been using these marketing tools for 100’s of years now. With the advances in printing the designs are limitless. The results of this creative marketing can be stunning.
Below I’ve assembled some of the coolest and most unique examples that I’ve found. Hopefully you can find something to draw some inspiration from for your next project!
Brochures & Booklets
Boston Museum Brochure
The cover is minimal and bright. The font choices are gorgeous, I would definitely grab this brochure

A map of top level domain choices done up an awesomely creative way!

Spectacular use of colors to reflect temperature and mood. Beautiful simplistic feel.

This colorfully creative brochure can double as a poster because of the innovative way it’s folded.

Awesome brochure with a creative cutout and sick typography.

I love the colors, simplicity and use of shape repetition in this brochure.

The perfect blend of color, texture and retro. This brochure conveys it’s message very effectively!

A gorgeous collection, there are really some amazing work here. Paper choice, textures, cut-outs, etc. really add an extra dimension to print design and it’s very inspiring. The North Star Fund brochure is stunning.

I agree with Simon SC, the North Star Fund brochure is amazing. Brochures can be one of the most taxing things to design. To come out with results like this, you can tell that the designers really had some love for the project.

The Boston Museum one works well because of color choice: you can’t go wrong with red, black and white! I love the 2008 calendar – colors and words that evoke emotion is a powerful combination. Cutouts aren’t used very often, so anytime I see a brochure with a cutout I always take notice. It might be an expensive option, but it’s so effective it can be worth it.
