As promised, here is a sample page from the finished quilt pattern catalog. The design is basic, but the challenge was to create an editable layout, so that new patterns could be inserted in alphabetical order. This was done by "anchoring" each pattern graphic to the pattern name below it. That way, when a new pattern is inserted, all the other patterns "flow" to the next box and retain their order. After the layout was complete, I created an alphabetical index of all the patterns in each section. I had a lot of fun putting this together. It was more technical that most of my projects and required me to use some software features that I don't normally use. To see the entire catalog, go to www.debrageissler.com/catalog_download.php.
With today's software, creating your own newsletter, catalog or other publication can be easy. But sometimes a different design or layout system can save you money on the printing or make future editing less time consuming. If you have a publication that you produce, and have a problem that needs solving, I would love to take a look.
