Reader Reviews
Some of the brochures were from 2003. Most of them looked like they were from 2003. It's a fairly good source of inspiration (and you'll get a look at the standard brochure design of the past few years), but I think they could've done better. Basically it just lacks original ideas that could be absorbed into your own creative thinking. It's more like a gallery of what is expected from professional brochure design. So I'd say it's good for brochure professionals with demanding clients, but people like me looking for good, experimental, exploitable ideas should look elsewhere. Comment (1) | | (Report this)
