Kleurrijke vormgeving

'vormgeving' as an alternative. Very much when referring to the design of printed matter.
Good luck.
Peer comment(s):

disagree sammi : I think the colorful refers to the style of writing, not to the visual aspect of the text. There is a contrast between the pictures and the 'colorful writing'.
