The DL brochure

It takes the familiar DL shape and gives it pages — so instead of a folded leaflet with a handful of panels, you get a proper little booklet at the size that still slips into a rack, a standard envelope or a pocket. That makes it the format for something that needs more than a flyer but has to stay slim and mailable: service and price guides, membership and welcome packs, event and travel programmes, product ranges, wine and cocktail lists.
The narrow page is the character of it. Each one is a tall single column, so it reads cleanly top to bottom but has no room for two columns or a wide image on one page — the width just isn't there. The room lives in the spread: open it and two DL pages join into a near-square surface, which is where a picture gets to breathe or a layout gets to spread out. It's a format that rewards one idea per page and saves the big moments for when it's open.
In the sets: closed on the cover, open on a spread and shot from above, so you can present the cover and an inside spread together. Each is a layered PSD with smart objects — the artwork sits on its own layer, so replacing it leaves the paper, lighting and shadow untouched.
