subject: The 5 Types Of Images To Put In Custom Pocket Folders [print this page] Not sure what kind of design images you must put in pocket folders? Well now you will know. This guide should tell you about the five common types of images that are commonly put in pocket folders. So before you go to that pocket folder printer, try to review your design and see if you have added all the necessary image elements to your layout. Just review the list below and see if you are in line with what you will need.
1. The central cover object.
A pocket folder should have a central cover object. This helps establish the main theme and point of the pocket folder. Moreover, it is the main design feature that should attract people into reading the contents of the pocket folder. So it is really important to have that central cover object in your pocket folders.
One of the key things you have to remember here is that you have to be very careful with your choice. Not only must it be pleasing to the eye, but it must also compel readers to read more of the contents inside. It is an advertisement if you will and you will have to think like an advertiser to compose the best main feature image for your pocket folder covers.
2. Supporting graphics for the cover.
Besides the main feature image on the cover, do not forget to ad din supporting graphics. Supporting graphics add minute details that basically polish up your pocket folder designs, including the main image. They can be small type of graphics related to your main image that adds some texture and just more realism so to speak.
So if your main image is an image logo of a bird for example, falling feathers can be a great type of supporting graphics. If you have an image of a tree, then falling leaves should work. It is all about contributing to the main image, that is why they are called supporting graphics.
3. Logo Identifiers and labels.
Now, you should not print your pocket folders without your logo identifiers and labels. Logos of course add that authorship mark on your folders, marking it as your own design and work. Labels will help flag your content, especially if you have multiple pockets inside your folder for those different types of prints and materials. Basically these small symbols help add full functionality to your pocket folders and is a really a must for business folders that have marketing or education in mind with its goals.
4. Framing and leading lines.
Lines and border type graphics are also a good image staple in pocket folder design. Lines help lead people to pay attention to the important materials first, while borders and frames basically help emphasize them and make them more visible.
This is important especially for advertising pocket folders where you want people to remember distinctly certain aspects of the content and even the overall design of the pocket folder. In most cases, you will want at least one instance of this in your folders.
5. The background image or watermark.
Finally, we have the so called watermark or background image. Depending on your pocket folder theme, watermarks and background images can be useful to establish the environment and overall theme of the pocket folder. It is an all-encompassing type image that you should really think of adding to your pocket folders. Most of the modern folders have this effect for the most impressive result in printing.
Now you know what you really need to put into your custom pocket folders in terms of images. These are the types that should help create a wholly complete and functional type of folder.
