Designing the leaflet


My research fell into two camps what was I going to put on the leaflet and how was I going to make the leaflet. I was quite surprised at the number of web site with info on how to and this one gave lots of tips as to what you or they might encounter. Castle print and design. It funny how familiar these thing are we see them at every railway station, they are hand out in the street.
Here are some of the main point to consider when making the leaflet. The staring point being which type and what size. Gatefold Z fold, something based on an A4 sheet of paper. Or something that is the same with but longer. If I wanted too I could have gone for A2 or A3 folded. It all down to the brief.

Above are few examples once you've chosen the type and size there are lots of guides to help set up the rulers and guides in indesign.
 I have gone for a Z fold similar to the above guide. By following the simple guides, one must pay attention as to where the front and back will be so that the fold produces the reveal you wanted.

Thank you Castle print for your invaluable help.
