One road to brochure reinventions is just to change your words.

Next, for a physical reinvention of your trifold brochure, you can try to print them in bigger dimensions. While not the most popular choice in reinvention, printing large color brochures can be a nice way to catch people’s eyes. Of course big things are easier to see, and everybody becomes curious when they do see something large and well free to see. So while your message can be the same, with larger brochures, you will probably get more people to read and hence you will get your message across. A small reinvention idea, but with big results.

3. Enhance and improve your pictures.
Of course your pictures may also be something that you can reinvent. Instead of your usual corporate pictures or product pictures why not try to enhance them? You can try and add in some artful elements like using design filters to make your images more interesting.

The basic aim is really to just paint the thousand words you want in your pictures and imbibe in them emotions and not just cold information. People must feel what those pictures are all about. Once your brochures can contribute those feelings, you should feel your brochures transcend itself from a mere vehicle for information to something that can affect people's lives.

4. Try out new colors.
Besides the picture of course, the overall color theme of your brochure can also be “reinvented”. If you have been using the same old company theme for so long, you might want to take a break and use something very different this time. Just a change in color in your brochures can really affect how it is perceived by people. It can even be seen as a whole new brochure altogether. So it can be a good way for people to rediscover your brochures and find them interesting once again.
