Multi-page brochure with folded front cover

In this video training, I will show you my approach to creating and editing a brochure. The special feature of this brochure is the varied format, because I work with the familiar A4 portrait format and an additional folded cover at the front, which can be folded out of the normal cover. I will also explain how to prepare the file correctly, where you can find the corresponding templates for the folded cover, how to create the documents and much more! However, the highlight of this real estate brochure is the final unboxing, because the print product has actually been printed and I will unpack it for you in front of the camera.

  • Design and layout of a brochure with staple stitching and 6-page cover
  • Finding the right template for the expressive folded cover and designing it attractively
  • Setting up the workspace in Adobe InDesign, taking into account the correct print parameters

Christmas greeting card for business customers in InDesign

In this twenty-minute video training, we will create a greeting card for business customers in InDesign for the Christmas season.
