Overview
Fluke Calibration needed to update the content of their products and services catalog. For this update, I decided to redesign the overall look of the catalog to make it more contemporary.

New table of contents
Strategy and Solution
- Maintain similar color scheme
- Maintain abstract theme
- Convey technology, measurement and calibration
- Convey idea of “new”
Rather than a complete overhaul, I wanted to maintain a sense of familiarity associated with this catalog. To do this, I used a similar blue color scheme but went to the darker end of the spectrum to create a more refined look. I also kept the background visuals abstract, because this catalog covers a vast amount of products and services; I did not want to get too specific or literal and place emphasis on a particular product group. The internal layout of content was retained as well, with only minor adjustments, to keep the familiarity of the previous version.
To convey the sense of “new,” I incorporated angles into the visual theme to make the cover, table of contents and section dividers look dynamic and contemporary. Different abstract backgrounds were collaged together to imply new technology and technical measurement. Transparency and gradation helped to create depth and movement.
