Nazar - Brochure Updated
Hi All -
Below is my brochure layout currently.
Please note, the gray area at the top of the layouts will be cut off the design.
Dan - I am still questioning the centered type below icons on yellow panel and at top of red panel. Have you tried justification for your body copy blocks? I know this is a detail, but I'm wondering about that crop mark at top right on your red panel... it seems randomly placed. Also - don't forget to rename "Other Services" to something that in a one word title, like the others. Nice.
I love the overall esthetic for this design. Very modern and bold without being overwhelming. The diagonal line cut is a nice touch to create visual interest. The only thing i'm questioning is the kerning on "proofs are important". if that's supposed to be a little wink to the audience I like it, but if it's unintentional i'd change it. Good work though!
David - do you mean Leading between the baselines of that heading instead of Kerning? I don't see a kerning problem - but I do see very tight leading. And, I had assumed it was intentional - but as you point out... it seems to stand alone as there are no other instances of this treatment. Dan - I wonder if you should elongate the "Communication" heading and make it inhabit a number of lines... so you can duplicate that approach. If we see it twice, we won't question whether it is intentional or not.
