OUGD405 - Studio Brief 02 - Public Information Leaflet Further Research

Furthering this research, I also looked at more modern examples of leaflet and brochure production. Many, if not most, of the leaflets utilised folding as a unique feature of the design:


concertina fold leaflet


concertina fold recipe leaflet


origami style, self-contained fold


a single sheet folded into a newspaper spread to maximise the content:space ratio



folded magazine spread that creates its own packaging


a folded leaflet inside a separate posting box


a menu with interactive illustrations


an interactive illustrated children's book with pull-down flaps


For my target audience to be able to use the leaflet effectively I decided to exclude the use of the more complicated folding techniques. However, a degree of interactivity would help engage young children and a fold-out design would emulate a story book, actively encouraging them to open and engage with the leaflet. This could be done through, pop-up sections within the leaflet, tabs that could be pulled of spin-wheels that could be turned. Bright colours in a simple and refined palette would be the most appropriate for the age range, and the written information should be clearly displayed and as concise as possible.
