Printed Brochure Design Workflow [Project-Based]

Ready to roll up your sleeves and design something you can hold in your hands? In this project-based session, you’ll follow the creation of a printed tri-fold brochure from the first idea through final production.

Explore how thoughtful choices in layout, typography, imagery, color, and panel flow shape the design. Then connect those creative decisions to the technical setup needed for a polished, print-ready result. You’ll leave inspired with fresh ideas, a stronger understanding of print design, and a workflow you can apply to your own projects.

Note: You will be able to download the project files to practice on your own.

What you’ll learn:

• Plan content, typography, imagery, color, and visual hierarchy across brochure panels
• Set up folds, margins, guides, and bleed
• Review Transparency Blend Space and Overprint Preview
• Preflight the document and export a print-ready PDF
