Catalogue Design Brief
Arboritec is an innovative and young company seeking to revolutionize and reinvigorate the wood floor refinishing industry. We make hi-tech waterborne wood floor finishes, each raising the bar in the market. We want customers to rethink what they can get out of a wood floor finish, and challenge conventional wisdom.
We see ourselves as visionary, hi-tech, consumer focused, and elite. We strive to bring the Silicon Valley business model and philosophy to the wood floor refinishing industry.
We have products for residential as well as commercial customers. Commercial customers include engineers, architects, facility owners, restaurants, retail stores, etc.
For this project, we want you to create an 8-page commercial catalog. This catalog will be used to promote our line of commercially suitable products. We would like to establish ourselves as the go to provider of commercial finishes, as this segment of the market is untapped.
The design should communicate energy, freshness, professionalism, confidence, and lightheartedness. Clean lines, soothing colors schemes.
Attached is a document to facilitate design. This document includes a draft of the copy we plan to use. This amount of copy, no more but possibly less, needs to fit in the design. The document has descriptions of a basic vision, which are guiding principles, not rules. These are highlighted in yellow on the document.
We have also provided a folder with branded images, such as product shots to place in the design. Some of these may be changing, but will work as placeholders for design purposes. The folder also includes shots of our UVElite product in action. This is the focus of the catalog. Incorporation of these is encouraged.
Stock photos are also encouraged where possible. Our vision is just an idea. We encourage creativity and re-imaginings of what we have offered.

The word doc has been reattached, as one designer pointed out the file was no longer working. This is the same file as before if you have downloaded the first attachment.

Our deadline is fast approaching. Are there any further questions we can answer for you? All designs should have the inside back cover as a pocket folder designed into it. Just to clarify, all designs should be sized to allow for 8.5 x 11 sheets to be held within this pocket. Thank you for all your ideas and efforts.
