Brochure Design Brief
We need a user manual template for our online e-learning platform, Podium, which allows users to create their own online courses.
We’re looking for a template for a few pages, including a cover, back page, table of contents, and pages for text-only (or bullet points), and text & images (screenshots). We would like to be able to add new pages and adjust textual content ourselves. Lorem ipsum is totally cool as placeholder text. The name of the product is Podium, but the company name is Interpersonal Frequency, so we would like the cover and back cover to say “Interpersonal Frequency" and "Podium".
We have uploaded a few files to give you a sense of our color scheme and logo. You can also check out our website at ifsight.com for an idea of our aesthetic sensibility. The design should be simple and elegant, and (being a user manual) clarity is king. We use Avenir and Elizabeth as or primary fonts. We have also uploaded some sample screen shots from Podium. You can use those screenshots to help direct your work, but note that the interface design is changing soon; i.e., you should emphasize the Interpersonal Frequency brand aesthetic more so than the Podium user interface design.
Target Market(s)
Businesses and nonprofits looking to implement our platform. Many buyers are female, but the people reading the manual are typically male.

Requirements
Must have
- The final product must be a template that will work in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or Apple Keynote/Pages. It's fine to send PDFs for previews. Note we need the final product in ONE of the above choices (Word, Powerpoint, Keynote, or Pages), not ALL.
You must make use of the IF logo and fonts on every page. Note that the tag line, "shortest distance between two points of view" in one version of the logo does note have to be included.
We need clear delineation between headers, sub-headers, and bullets, as well as a great looking cover, table of contents and back page.
Please Note: Please disregard the IREX logo on any screenshots. These were mockups for a client. Please don't use the IREX name or logo.
