Approach

Throughout the year we ask our vendors to send us images of their new and current product line.  That's multiple vendors that I categorize and then I'll sit down and map out how the catalog will be laid out.  For some I will superimpose current customer logos and imprints onto the new and current garment line.

Solution

After days of gathering information and roughing out the catalog, I'll then go ahead and start the layout process.  If certain product lines garner attention, I'll put those towards the front and let the rest fill in behind.  I always leave room for improvements and rearrangements if a vendor gets to us before hand and we deem it neccessary for acclimation.
