Before&After: Design a Pocket-Size Brochure
Eight small pages unfold into an informative, letter-size sheet.
This brochure folds open one spread at a time. To design it, think story— give it a beginning, a middle and an end. Set a visual theme (here it’s people), and design each spread as a complete thought. This 13-page article from issue 47 of Before&After Magazine shows you how to make a palm-size brochure that unfolds in a natural, easy-to-read sequence. It’s easy to design, too. The key is to think small—one photo, bite-size text and a brief head per spread look quite big.

Think small! Eight small pages unfold into an informative, letter-size sheet.
