Creating catalogs are equally difficult and easy to do. It is entirely up to you if you prefer to do all the work or let a professional do it for you. Should the budget be your concern, you might want to reconsider and hire a pro to still do it for you. Ultimately you just might save even more with their help. After all the designing and finalization of your catalog, take a few steps back and see how much you have done and what else may be needed to be done.
Before your catalog is printed, try to exercise some of these ideas before anything comes amiss:
? Understand your product or services
Is your format and information easy to understand? Would your target market understand the language?
? Double check (or triple check)
Are there misspellings? Grammar slips? Typing Errors? Was there Wrong information written? Are there dark spots or irregular flaws in the draft?
? Review pictures
Are the pictures in the correct places? Are they pixilated and you obviously need higher resolutions? Are the edits obvious or not nice to look at?
? Bleed (the edges of your document) and Trim (the final size of the document)
Do you have white lines framing your entire catalog? Extend all sides by 1/8 of an inch to give allowance to the cut. Cuts are normally done in between the Bleed and the Trim, so remember the 1/8 rule.
? Sizes
Do you want your catalog to be portable? Or do you want it to look like a regular magazine? Do you need to mail it?
In the end you just may save even more with their help. After all the design and completion of your catalog, a few steps back and see how much you have done and what still may need to be done.
