How To Print Catalogs That Can Do Everything
Color catalogs can do a lot of things if you just pay attention to its different aspects. In fact, it can be possible for catalog printing to produce so called “super catalogs” that can be used for a lot of different purposes. This kind of catalog printing however requires focus on five areas of concern which makes it very functional. To help you design such “super catalogs” and have it created in a catalog printing company, here are the things you need to focus on in terms of design.
The advertising angle
The first area of focus is the advertising angle. How will your products be advertised in the catalog? How can it effectively encourage people to buy the products? Your catalog design must have a specific style that answers these questions. It must have an advertising angle that makes the products interesting, tempting the people to buy them. The common angles of attack for this is the “bargain angle” (which tempts customers in exploiting cheap deals) or the “luxury angle” (which shows people how luxurious they will feel when they but the product). There are many sorts of advertising angles you can use. Remember though to at least have one angle so that your catalogs can be functional as an advertising tool.
The artistic angle
Next we go to the artistic angle. Catalogs are as much a publishing piece of art as magazines and booklets are. People judge them by their beauty, so it is important to fulfill their expectations in your own catalog designs. Since people want artistic beauty, your catalogs must be designed to delight their eyes. They must get attracted and enjoy the catalog design. More specifically, this refers to the cover design. You catalog cover must really be impressive, displaying the best and most stunning of your products. It must be done in a stylish way that suits the theme of your catalog. By doing this, your catalogs can become their own piece of art that can be admired beyond their content.
The publishing angle
Afterwards, we have the publishing angle. All catalogs must follow the proper publishing characteristics to be a functional catalog. It must have the proper parts like a table of contents, letter of the editor, product sections, feature articles etc. All of this makes a catalog a complete published work. Loose those parts and your catalog is an incomplete work that people may think of as amateur. That is why it is important to follow all the appropriate mechanics of publishing and include all the proper catalog parts in your layout.
The commercial angle
Of course, do not also forget the commercial angle. Your catalogs must have order forms and pages that offer the steps on how to order your products. Catalogs are of course a commercial tool that sells things so it must have the parts that help people buy the products in them. So include a form or an order postcard within the catalog design so that people can immediately order what they want. This should another vital role of the color catalog.
The business philosophy angle
Finally, catalogs are also extensions of the company’s business image. It carries its lifestyle and its philosophy. That is why in all the content, from text, pictures and layouts, the business image must be present. If the company wants to look corporate, the catalog must look corporate. If they want to look luxurious and posh then the catalog must display that too. By doing this, the catalog fulfills the role of public relations tool as well. So integrate this in your own catalogs.
So those are the different areas of concern for catalogs. Focus on those five and your catalogs should become super catalogs performing a lot of tasks using a single primary design. You can use that design for many kinds of projects from advertising to public relations. It is very useful indeed.

How can I open an FDB file on Mac?
We have a clip art catalog we purchased several years ago. It was designed for Mac OS 9. We can open the clip art .eps files, but the browser is not compatable with OSX, so we cannot open the catalogs. We have to reference the book, which is falling apart and is in black & white. The catalogs are fdb files. Is there anyway to browse through them on our computer or any other program which will open them without having to purchase the new Extensis Portfolio browser? The thumbnail previews also do not show up, otherwise we could see them that way.
I will never give into the dark side and buy a PC! Mac all the way baby!
This isn't a Mac / PC problem. It is a system software upgrade problem.
Well, as you know, .pdb is a Portfolio file - unique to Extensis Portfolio, as far as I can see.
Does one of your OS X macs have Classic installed? That should allow you to open the old browser. Beyond that, I found a FAQ page for Portfolio - see link. Your question may be answered there.
If your problem's that you need a reference to allow you to check visually what the eps files are, could you open them up small in Illustrator or something, 9 or 16 at a time making sure the title bar of each is showing, and use Apple's Grab to take a screenshot? Then you'll have a bunch of TIFFs or JPEGs you can scan through on screen.
