About the course Designing a Tri-Fold Brochure in Photoshop

Introduction Lecture

In the Introduction lecture about the course Designing a Tri-Fold Brochure in Photoshop, we will take you through the entire blueprint of the course material that you are going to learn in the next two and half hours of the course period. You will see the inside and outside design of the brochure that will be explained from every bit to part of the course.

Setup a Tri-Fold Brochure Document

This is a very important lecture that students will benefit from. This entire video is loaded with every bit of practical knowledge that is hard to get in any design classes. We will start by working on the paper sizes and take you through the color modes of the printing industry. Students will also know why you should not adopt the RGB color mode while working on the printing industry documents.

The lecture starts by taking an A4 document and discusses the resolution between print and digital models. We will start by setting up the empty document for the print design. You will come to know how to define various margins for the print Industry. For students that are working on the older versions of the Photoshop software, we worked out the manual method of setting up the grid layout and for those who are working on the latest versions of the Photoshop, we have the latest method of creating a guide layout with the help of recent features. We will set up the bleed margin, trim margin, and the text margin.

Besides the regular margin, you will also learn about the rest of the margins that you should learn about creating a Tri-fold brochure. By the end of the lecture, you will be able to create an empty document ready to use for the tri-fold brochure.

Cover-Page Design

Once you are finished with the design part of the cover page, you are introduced to the design part of the document. Here, we will start designing the brochure with its Cover page. We created a fictional gymnasium Fitness Freak for the sake of the design. In the first place, we talk about maintaining the gaps between the images and you will learn about how to equally balance the white space in the documents and between the images. A simple trick of creating gaps using guides and pixel ratio elements are given to you and we will continue the lecture by designing the Logo for the company within Photoshop using the vector elements.

End Page Design

The shocking thing for designers while working on the tri-fold brochures is to design the cover page right beside the end page. To remove this confusion out of your mind, we will take you the page allotment in the brochure and explain why an end page always stays beside the cover page and show you the folding patterns of the brochure. Here, we will give the contact information of the company and the section lets you know what kind of fonts should be used while designing the brochure and what is the limitations you will face in choosing or using the maximum number of fonts for the sake of design and printing.

Outside Design third page

By now we already closed the cover page and end page designs and this is the final part of the outside design of the brochure. In this part, we are going to incorporate the membership card types and tariffs. The quick lecture shares information about how to create the blocks in design that stands out from the text or helps to emphasize text content where it is needed. We create a box and copy it to create a replica of the same.

Inside Design – Page 2

While the outer design elements are finished. We reach to the inner design by the time we are in this lecture. Designing the inner part is different from designing the outer part as outside is more focused on the visual elements to grab the eyes of the readers and fix him for the maximum period. Whereas on the inside we make sure to maintain the visual balance and elements just like we did on the outside but provide the maximum information about the company itself and more information that user should know.

The challenge is to sync the design with the outside. We start by bringing the same colors that are used outside which bridges the relation on both the ends. You will come to know the advantages of using an image within the design and you will also know how to smoothly sync the image and tweak the fineness of the image for your brochure.

Center Page Design  – Online Brochure Designing

The page design is similar to the third page design on the outside of the brochure. To makes things a little different, we incorporated some methods which help you to know how to emphasize certain parts of the document by using colors and shapes that make the element stand out from the rest of the elements of the page or the document.

Final Page Design

The page is an example of the minimal design techniques that are widely put to use across the world for its quick appeal. Here we will teach you to design the team of the Gymnasium and we choose the colors that stand out from the rest and the methods we use it will help you learn the trends of the day in much easier and simple techniques. Finally, we tell you few tips that will make your document look more interesting by adding depth through using the gradient techniques of the same color and different shades and by incorporating images into the background without affecting or taking away the overall look of the page design.

Online Brochure Designing – Student Testimonials

Martha

I have been working in the visual designing Industry for a while. But, I never had a chance to update myself with the designing techniques and learn about the parameters of the printing design industry. It’s tough to find something comprehensive for me as I found no place where the industry is concentrated in the practical level. Thanks to EDUCBA, this is an awesome course with every last bit of information I needed. The amount of practical information I gained from this class is of a high standard. I highly recommend this course, especially for fresher’s and people who have no knowledge about setting up things before and after design for printing

Bill

These guys worked it out well. I thought some more examples may have made the course even comprehensive. The whole lectures are focused on Tri-fold brochure. That makes me a little distracted. But about the subject, the course hits the standards
