yesterday i had to create a 3 parts folded brochure for a “credit for house” product of a bank. (see it below).
and while i was editing, it got me thinking that you too might be interested in the techniques i use to create it.
soo… here are the steps for creating a folding brochure (3 parts folding).
- (i already created a post on ) sources for pictures, get the text (from client).
- when you create the layout (i use indesign for this) split it into 3 parts
- to prepair it for print just use the common steps for indesign (these are the steps for digital and offset print):
- don’t forget you have to set a 3mm bleed for the cutting losses ;).
- the frontpage of the brochure should be divided into: 97 mm/ 100mm/100mm.
- divide also the backpage into: 100 mm/ 100 mm/ 97 mm.
doing this you will create a brochure that will fold (the backpage and frontpage) perfectly together.
- click file- preflight
- check for missing links (images)
- make sure there are no missing fonts, no rgb color space, no spot colors (using the digital print you can’t use any special colors).
that’s all. and here is the brochure i made.
later edit: details on options for folding an indesign brochure
what do you think? should i present it? thanks for feedback!

(keep in mind that i’ve covered the bank’s logo for the momment) . and the interiour:
Would be much more pleasant to read with a proper spelling ^_^
Please, no offence, just a friendly comment. The information itself was really useful to me and helpful with my Final Project ^_^
Thanks
