Booklet Examples

There are different ways to approach your booklet design. Every example featured below found its own way of standing out.

Typography

Some booklets put more emphasis on a font to attract attention. Take the design below for example. It features the Geomanist typeface, a clean and elegant sans serif font.

Some business owners have no design background but that won’t matter if you’re basing your design on typography. Let the font do all the work for you.

Artwork

It’s also possible to feature artwork to make those booklets really stand out. This is great if your business caters to children. The example below uses animal drawings to reel readers in. I imagine this is for a zoo in Japan though I can’t be certain. Really cool idea though.

Color

Colorful booklets are typically a safe bet when unsure of what kind of booklet design to make. They work best when combined with fantastic typography. Those who have an understanding of how the color wheel works are at an advantage though it’s really not a hard concept to grasp. Some colors work better together than others. These are called complementary colors. But sometimes, colors that contrast makes a better pair. Depends on the situation, really.

Minimalism + White Space

There are cases when keeping graphics to a minimum is the correct path to take. A minimalist booklet design projects simplicity. It also lets you put the spotlight on the product or content itself.

By having a lot of white space, you give your readers room to breathe. Take this awesome example below.

Images

If you have access to product photos, make sure you use them. Images enhance your reader’s experience. It gives them a better understanding of what you are talking about.

And the images don’t necessarily have to be of your product. It could be of your town, your community, or your employees. It’s totally up to you.
