Audience - Content and Concept
* Think about the system ~ who is your catalogue for. A catalogue should have a system that hold everything together.
* Educate your audience throughout your catalogue.

THE IDEA OF A CATALOGUE IS FOR FUNCTION AND INFORMATION

Image - Visual Primary and is a primary tool in the catalogue
Text - Information and its a secondary tool in the catalogue.

SYSTEM
* System Catalogue/Chapter/Colour
* Page Number
* Folio
* Caption
* Audio
* Graphic Elements

Image styel - Art Direction of the photo/image treatment
Type-text-concept/audience. Use Bold and Regular type weight. Don't use a lot of typefaces.

*Size format depends on the concept.

LIMITATIONS:
1) Don't use Black and White for images.
2) Use only high resolution images ~ 8x8cm
3) Don't treat type or illustration better than images
4) Don't use Myriad/Helvetica/Microsoft Pro at ALL.

Title - Lifestyles.
