How to make Tri-fold Brochure in InDesign (Step-by-step) 

Did i just see you change white text to Registration (Not Black) 😢

THANK YOU so much for using letter size paper, setting margins, and showing me how to keep this simple. I wasted most of the morning with an A4 template of a brochure that was just a headache. Now I can make it from scratch!

I love that you show the keystrokes in your videos, it makes following the shortcuts so much easier!

FANTASTIC tutorial. Straight to the point, no needless talking, great pacing and amazing explanations. Love the great quality mic too; there's a lot of tutorials out there that are painful to listen to. I was also able to watch your design and follow along while adding my own design elements and information while still making it look good. Thanks a ton!

I really appreciate this video and your time creating it. It's been several years since I had to create a brochure in one of my graphics design classes. I now have a job in which I use InDesign to publish a monthly newsletter. I made a template for the Newsletter with all of the settings and just change the content every month. So basically, I was somewhat relaxed and comfortable. Today, I was asked to create a company brochure and I forgot how to setup the page order, bleeds, and folds. This video was a life saver, literally! So thanks again for the great content. #2thumbsUp

Hello everyone, For those of us who are newbies and notice that our pages are standing vertically but not quite aligned correctly at the start, and if we prefer our page layout in InDesign to be stacked rather than side by side, simply deselect the 'facing pages' option. You can find this option by clicking on 'file' and then 'document setup.' This adjustment will ensure that your pages are properly aligned. It's worth noting that InDesign's facing pages feature is primarily used for documents such as books and magazines, where pages are viewed together in spreads for layout purposes.

i love u dude i learnt more from this video than my whole collage smaster

LYH Studio- I subscribed so you don't have to cry yourself to sleep. Then I watched the video :) Then I had a beautiful Tri-Fold Brochure Thank you

Great tutorial thanks a lot!! You made my day, I was searching over hours to make a simple flyer. Wish you the best. - Greetings from Germany

Thank you so much, you are great! I never skipped commercials on your videos you deserved it.

This is the best video tutorial on this that i have ever watched!

All you need for beginners like me. Bravo 👏👏👏

THANK YOU GOAT

Thanks a lot. It helps a lot.

Tim Less? There were no Tims in this brochure apparently. I commented a year ago, nice that you are still at it. Looks like you still have a ways to go with ID. Keep at it.

Awesome design and very helpful video!!

subscribed! very clear explanation! thank you!

Guys, note that if you make it to fold inwards, the right column should be slightly narrower than the others. This is so you can fold it in without it colliding with the other fold. Too bad InDesign doesn't seem to have an option for adjusting the guides that way. The viewing order would also be different. It doesn't matter if you're gonna fold it in a zig-zag though.

The guides would be slightly different though and not exactly made into thirds as the right panel (when opened) would be shorter in size, right?

You need to account for the 1/16" short folds on the front and back otherwise when this goes to the printer the prepress dept will have to move things.

If the Direct Select tool is not working for you, hold Shift, left click on the point you want do move, release Shift, and then move that point.

Dope bro, really well explained and simple, nice design too. Thanks learned some.

These videos are super amazing and extremely helpful! Thanks

thank you so much

That intro !🤣🤣🤣

Amazing tutorial man, really appreciate it! Would you ever recommend using a grid system for more consistency with spacing between elements?

What about bleeds???!

hi dude 👋. is this steps you did is ready to be printed? because i am asked for the specification if not please in lighten me what to give to the printing shop 🙏

i would be good if you go over how to print this properly

Nice Video. Thanks. Ps: NEVER USE REGISTRATION BLACK FOR TEXT OR DESIGN! Registration black is used only for registration/ trim/ crop marks it should never be used for a text or design elements. Its 100% each of CMYK colors. If printed as design or text- will be too heavy as it takes too much ink and will cause various issues when printing.

If all folds have the exact same size, the trifold will never fold properly.

Nice video. What about bleeds?

so the standard size for brochure is A4?

Need a help, where I will find mockup as you are using?

Nice video. But I have a doubt whenever I create text or any shapes why the square blue lines are appearing, how to remove or invisible it? @ 6:33 in this video.

Why is it so blurry?

im try to put word on color object but nothing seem to work? anyone know the problem??

can i have the ready made ia file please

Your working and moving too fast for beginners so I won't watch cause what takes nearly a quarter of an hour may take me 2 hours with continuous pauses 🙄
