Hi Marjorie,

so, it’s about print brochures. But not about specimen? Most often, these two forms are intermingled.
Do you know Spatium issue Nº 5; ‘hamburgefonts’?

to market typography
That is, (new) typeface designs? By foundries/distributors? Historic or contemporary?

What have you got already?

Hi Florian, I have mostly design-based brochures now and was looking for something a little different so I thought of type designers. Thanks for the jpgs, however I’d consider them less what I’m looking for. I need to show examples of non-traditional (not 6-panel, two-fold) brochures and thought ’how would a type designer market themselves?’ The book I’m working on is more geared for the small business owner, and I was hoping some of those who frequent this site might have examples they use for marketing their services.

And yes, it’s more about print brochures than specimens. However I think some of the the things “Emigre” did early on are interesting. I’m looking for non-traditional thinking. For example, one of the designs I’ve gotten is assembled with a rivet and looks more like how a Pantone swatch book is assembled. I’m looking for anything BUT the two-fold, six panel brochure that fits into a #10 envelope. And what better way to expose a non-designer to typography??!!

Thanks.

Hi Chris, great ideas thanks. I was also hoping to get some designers who have things available too as my timeline is very tight.

House Industries also sends around great flyers.
