Key concepts students will learn:

  • A tri-fold brochure lives in the magic place between the brevity and impact of a postcard and the storytelling capacity of a booklet.

  • The simple tri-fold design gives you six different areas to utilize, which makes it easy to break up content and fit heaps in.

  • When designing a brochure, the front cover is the right panel on the top page, the back cover is the middle panel, and the left panel is the inside flap.
