Printing idea
Renee,
I had a thought about printing your own brochure. If you printed it on your own printer, even though your background wouldn't go all the way to the edges (in print lingo, you want your design to 'bleed' off the paper), you could print as close to your edges as your printer allows, then trim your paper so your design then would go all the way to your newly cut edge. Your end product would be a bit smaller, but that might be a way to achieve the look I think you may be after. If you could use 8 1/2" x 14" paper you could trim it down to 11" on one side anyway.
Or . . . you could have your brochure printed in 4-color at the printer and only have him print the 4-color artwork (the photos of your portraits) and a background if you wanted. Printing 1000 of these isn't much more than printing 100, costwise. Once the plates are made and it's on the printer, it's just a matter of paper usage (mostly). Once you have 1000 of your brochures with only pictures, NO type, you could then run the brochures through your printer at home and print in black type whatever you like. You could just do as many as needed and then when you need to, change your type and print out more.
Hope this helps,
Joan
