The Brochure

Creating a tri-fold brochure was quite a learning experience for me. I initially struggled with the folding concept but followed the project step by step as outlined in the book. To expand my understanding, I also watched several tutorials on YouTube, exploring various methods to achieve the desired outcome. It was fascinating to see the different approaches.

According to the Adobe Illustrator book, the recommendation is to create six artboards labeled as outside fold-in, outside center, outside right-front, inside left, inside center, and inside fold-in. However, I discovered that you can also create two artboards. Then created a rectangle and divided it into three columns, I was able to adjust the offset and get basically the same result.

To visualize my design, I folded a printed version on paper, which helped me understand how it would look when folded. I did my best with the design and realized there is much more involved in making a brochure than I initially thought. Along the way, I also learned about the painted turtle and how fascinating that habitat is. Unfortunately, I was working through a sore throat and congestion, which made things a bit challenging, but I'm grateful for the experience and the knowledge gained.
