Don't let your graphic designer Lorem Ipsum the crap out of your brochure. There are a few instances where content isn't necessary - a logo, for example. But if you want a brochure, poster, or anything else containing persuasive sales text or carefully crafted messaging - please, provide it. First of all, it saves the designer from plopping all of your content in later. Second of all, the design of some materials is crafted based on the amount of text it contains. Furthermore, reading the content can help your graphic designer to add more visual cues or appropriate images if they see it written throughout your content.
