Title:	The Five Main Principles Of Leaflet Design
Article:	Creating leaflets can be carried out in a variety of different ways, from hiring a professional company to carry out the entire process to completing part, or all, of the leaflet design in-house or at home. Whichever way is chosen, it is important that the following five points are always adhered to to ensure that the leaflet that is created is as effective as it possibly can be. Cost Efficient. The final aim of any leaflet created for a company is to increase the amount of business that the company receives. As this is apparent, it is important to not overstretch financially when creating the leaflet and therefore every part of the leaflet design process must be planned thoroughly to ensure no unnecessary costs are incurred. Quality. Whilst temptation to choose the cheaper option can arise when looking at the costing of leaflet design, it is important to choose the best options obtainable to suit the budget that is available. For instance, if it is felt that hiring a professional company to create the leaflet design is too expensive, then it is worthwhile shopping around and comparing prices, as unless a substantial amount of design experience is held, any designs created at home will not look professional enough to be distributed to potential customers. Company Reflection. Any leaflet that is designed should, in several ways, be a direct reflection of the company that it is for and it is imperative that this is taken into consideration to continue with company branding. The way that a leaflet is a reflection of a company can vary and can be from using the logo and company colours right through to how the design actually looks, such as sleek and professional or loud and flamboyant. Colour. One of the issues that many people encounter when looking at leaflet design is that they fail to correctly use colours. It is important to always refer back to the quality point and remember that leaflet design should look as professional as possible. Whilst this does not always mean only using two or three colours, it does mean that any colours used should be done so in the correct way. In general, it is recommended to not use any more than four of five separate colours. Although leaflets may be seen that use twice as many colours, a good quality leaflet design can usually incorporate up to five colours without the leaflet appearing garish. Up-To-Date. Although the layout of the leaflet is the primary part of any leaflet design, the content that is used is also particularly important and this can be the difference between a leaflet that performs well and one that does not. Whilst the information within the leaflet should use full and proper grammar, it is imperative that it is up-to-date. As good as a leaflet design may be, if by the time it is distributed the information that is included is out-of-date and no longer relevant, the leaflet will be completely unusable and any money spent will be wasted.
