Brochures
Brochures are usually three-fold newsletter-type documents that present information about a topic. You can create a brochure in a word processor or in desktop publishing programs such as Microsoft Publisher, Adobe PageMaker or Serif Page Plus. Remember that a tri-fold will produce six narrow sections to fill with information text and graphics.
Plan out your brochure before you start. Use a blank tri-fold sheet of paper and sketch out where your heading, text boxes, and graphic images. This will make your next steps much easier.
