Catalogs are designs consisting of visuals and texts that we produce so that your customers can have information about your products, products, brand or portfolio. At the same time, it helps you to gain a permanent place in people's minds, to be recognized correctly and well, to achieve the desired image, so a good catalog design should be preferred. Catalog design, which presents the services provided by your brand in detail, is an information and advertising tool. Catalog design is the name given to the process of preparing and editing texts and finally publishing them.
When designing a catalog, attention should be paid to the colors to be used, the products shown, the fonts in the catalog, harmony and visual integrity. For companies that cannot spare time for editing, preparing a catalog index, sending it to print and making adjustments to the content leads to cost loss.

WHAT SHOULD CATALOG DESIGN LOOK LIKE?
We carefully prepare to reflect your brand identity in a complete way to attract the attention of the customer.
- Catalog Layout and Size: We can prepare large multi-page catalogs in the form of magazines where large designs can appear, and we can create hand-sized catalogs that everyone can easily carry. The most important thing to consider is that your catalog should have a design layout. The message you want to give is given in an organized order and in accordance with the concept. People who receive the catalog should be able to make a connection as they turn the pages, they should be able to find something of their own.
- Placing Images and Texts in Appropriate Format: The feature of catalogs is to impress customers with visuals. We make visual selection professionally in catalog design and create concepts suitable for your brand. The target audience should be well known and the details they like should be taken into consideration. After special images are selected, they are placed in the catalog with a composition suitable for these images.
Apart from this, the texts to support the visuals should be well adjusted. Catalogs consisting only of visuals fail to convey the message they want to convey and therefore fall behind in attracting the attention of customers. Our aim is to successfully support visuals with a harmonious and strong text. We add all images and texts to the catalogs in appropriate sizes and in appropriate sections. A stylish, interesting catalog will definitely serve its purpose.
- Colors and Brand Identity: The colors used when creating a concept during catalog design are important. For example, the color red, expectation and enthusiasm. The color green reflects calmness, while the color blue evokes trust and freedom. Brand identity should be adhered to when creating colors, visuals and composition. Analyze the target audience well and use slogans that reflect the brand identity. We help you create harmonious and close concepts for your products to be adopted by the target audience. As a result, while representing your brand identity, it is ensured that the catalogs are successful by establishing a close relationship with your customers.
