This week’s big idea is all about the cover of a saddle-stitched brochure.
And it’s proof that the cover can provide much more than just protection and aesthetics.
What’s super-cool about #573:
- I love how they made the front cover a pocket, rather than tucking a powerful tool into the back cover.
- The creative cover treatment provokes interaction with the wheel insert, taking the dry subject of financial planning and making it engaging and totally relevant to the recipient.
