This week, I present two catalogue layouts, made while practicing. The first one (Moulin Rouge badges) is a single right-hand A4 page, while the second (Terry Pratchett books) is an A5 2-page spread.
A few things I have learned while working on these:
- It’s amazing how much more artboard you have working in print.
- I now completely understand Bleed and Slug.
- Products in the outer corners of a spread get the most attention.
- InDesign’s colour managed system is a bit tricky.
- Although LAB is not a bad alternative to HSB.
- Adobe Acrobat can’t export anti-aliased images.
- My printer is still terrible and a liar.
Alright, have a looksie. Click to visit the larger versions, of course.

p.s. It’s “Catalogues” because that’s the British spelling.
