Hey everybody. I'm in charge of creating the new brochure for the dental lab I work at, and I'm pretty pumped about it. Basically, we give these brochures to dentists, to see if they'd like to use our lab or not.

So far, I'm just researching other websites and checking out the competition. Here are a few I liked:

For information:

http://www.pjsdental.com/

For design:

http://www.microdental.com/

I realize these are webpages, but I'd like to some of these ideas across on paper. Anyway... not real sure why I'm posting this, other than if you had any suggestions, feel free.

- Rob

Just remember who you're trying to send a message to. A doctor is going to look at a brochure in a much different way than a patient.

That second website looks like its for customers, not collegues.

Just try to get into the head of the Dentist (or whoever it is that would make that decision, maybe its not even the dentist..you'd obviously know that better than I would)

What kinds of issues do Dentists normally have with labs? Are they impressed with service? Technology? Turnaround? What kinds of imagry would set the dentist's mind at ease? What colors? Probably not red...I worked on a dentist site, and used red, and they weren't happy. It was called Red Cliffs Dental. Seemed weird to do their logo in blue...I ended up using a lot of white, and light blue.

Anyway, thats it. I'm sure you'll do great.
