BROCHURES

Sometimes trying to state the bleedin’ obvious to people is like pulling teeth.

Sorry for swearing but I’m only fluent in one language ... design. Too many people think that just because they buy a Mac they can call themselves graphic designers. They are suffering from delusions of design adequacy. You have to learn how to draw and design first. It takes years of creative experience and challenges. The computer won’t do it for you.

We have become lost in the latest technological advances in software, so much so that many have become design-lazy! I am not a great fan of the new global design economy. It seems all around me bankers and venture capitalists are coming up with new fangled business models, “weapons of mass financial deception” that are going to make us all millionaires.  Everyone except the creative folks.  The creative types in advertising and design, the ones who come up with the big ideas that give real value to products and services, are being ridiculously shortchanged.  They are being treated like burger flippers at McDonalds because these new-economy types are delirious with greed.  They are naive about marketing, yet at the same time so arrogant about it.  I hear things like “Forget about your unique idea, I want my click-through rates increased five fold, and if you can’t do it in less time and for less money I will find someone else who will!” Well, I am hopeful that this amateur hour of economies being run by corporate spivs and “delay and pray” politicians who speak with forked tongues is over.  With the recent global fraud on the financial markets reaching its nemesis the hype appears to be over, and when many of these “googlingprintingdot.commies” as I like to call them, are bankrupt or in jail for tax evasion and conning hard working taxpayers, we will be able to get to the business of maturing the new economy.  Of course, the best of the breed internet companies who don’t cut their prices to the bone at the expense of designers but have good business models with good business plans will prosper and continue to grow by using smart advertising and powerful design as opposed to cheap pedestrian template artwork.  This is where we come in.  And we can all get back to what we do best.

I see it already happening.  Internet types are quickly realising that your electronic customer-relationship marketing needs to offer a value beyond product and service. Beyond all the databases and invasive email programs, a marketer still needs to offer a brand personality that people can emotionally invest in.  And only great creative types can deliver that.  My intention here is not to disrespect new media folks or even venture capitalists and politicians. It is merely to give some respect back to the creative people, the creative work, and the creative process that has been discounted in the post boom economy delirium.

Creative people don’t look for the next opportunity.  The one we have in our hands now is the opportunity. We just have to look at it differently. In the words of Apple, “Think different” to create the opportunity. As designers we are always waiting for the perfect brief from the perfect client.

It almost never happens.

In the early days of my career I was often working on a job or project and saying “This is boring, let’s just deal with it and get it over with.  We’ll make the next one good” But whatever is on your desk right now, that’s the one.  Make it the best you possibly can. It may not be great, but at least you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you did the best you possibly could, and you may learn something from it. And you’re always free to do an alternative that does satisfy your creative standards. Good briefs don’t just come along. Successful solutions are often made by people rebelling against bad briefs.

Phew, that was a nice little rant! Better stop now as I’m running out of room.

MIKE’S COLUMN

Just a little rant from

Mike @ The Artworks

(AKA Chief Crazy Horse)

Don’t worry to much if you feel your product is mundane. Design is the process by which you have the opportunity to transform a mundane product or service into something more rewarding and more memorable. Try to assess each element of your service or product and better it. Design is not just an element of marketing, but a genuine source of competitive advantage, customer and employee satisfaction and loyalty and finally a route to higher profits. So put design at the heart of your company.

In the world of brochure design, clients demand creative and memorable results delivered under budget and on time. The Artworks have an impressive collection of the most innovative and exciting brochure designs from small to medium size businesses and blue chip corporations. The small selection shown here highlights an array of firms who have used the Artworks to push the creative envelope. We turn brochure design challenges into sales opportunities whether that be via a simple 4 page brochure to a full 48 page and beyond product catalogue.
