DEFINITIONBrochures are like expanded flyers. They are almost always 8 pages or more, and generally promote a particular product or service using text and graphic elements including photos, drawings, screen shots and tables. If you have less than 8 pages you should use the Flyer template.

AUDIENCEWrite for a high-level business audience.

GRAPHIC SUBMISSIONCreate graphics in vector-based programs such as Adobe Illustrator, Macromedia FreeHand or Corel Draw whenever possible. If using raster-based software adjust your settings for at least 300 ppi.

SCREEN CAPTURES/SCREENScreen captures/screen shots are an exception to this rule as typically they are automatically generated at 72 ppi or 96 ppi and can rarely be improved upon. Screen shots are usually the only types of graphics that may be submitted in an uneditable format since they usually remain in English regardless of language.

TEXT IN GRAPHICS AND ILLUSTRATIONSWhen including text in graphics and illustrations, keep in mind that the words will most likely have to be localized. Try to leave white space around text in anticipation of this since most languages require more characters than English to bring the identical information to the reader. A good rule of thumb is that for every line of text in English, you will need two lines when localizing into some European and Latin American languages. Please avoid limiting the space required for this type of text growth.
