Before&After: Design a Zig-zag Brochure
How to create a dynamic brochure in three easy steps
The zig-zag looks so good with so little effort—in small quantities you can even make it on your desktop. Rotate a legal-size sheet into landscape format, straight-cut its top edge at an angle, then fold it like an accordion into four panels. This 13-page article from issue 49 of Before&After Magazine lets you make an energetic design with one diagonal cut.

Color-key its zig-zag tabs, and you’ll have an energetic brochure suitable for topics of all kinds.
