A tip for perfect alignment: You don't need to zoom in to align elements to the artboard. There are vertical and horizontal align options in the options bar at the top (when an element is selected). Just choose "Align to artboard" from the drop-down and it will enable one-click alignment. Cheers!

Thank you Erin for a tutorial with actual speech in it. I can't tell you what a monumental waste of time it is constantly having to wade through all the videos where the presenter just wants to play music at me. Honestly KZfaq needs to come up with a way to categorize videos between talkes and silent / no talk. Save millions of us tons of time. I sifted through 6 or 7 videos before I came across yours.

Thank you Erin for a straightforward and easy to follow tutorial, exactly what I needed

Very straightforward and easy to follow, thank you!

Thank you for these easy and simplified steps for the brochure setup. I'm designing one right away

You can type 11/3 in the width bar instead of calculating it and then entering it there.

This is awesome Erin! Your video saved me from going to the graphic designer & some bucks too. Thanks so much for your time & effort. I really appreaciate you ♥ Blessings on your way ♥

Thanks for the helpful video Erin! I'm on my way to making a brochure. A friend pointed out that you could also use the Rectangular Grid Tool to make the three boxes. That way you can align the whole shape to the art board in one shot. :) Keep up the awesome tips (please)!

So glad I found this video! So much help.

Hi Mam! Thanks a lot ❤️ for unique tips and information, saved life , liked and subscribed. Keep it up

thank you! well explained. you helped me alot in doing it in a smarter way :)

Thanks!

How do you prepare for print? Like the right pannels (inside spread) how does it print out? Do you have to combine them with adhesives? Or do i print two sided?

thankyou so much

Do I have to remove the smart guides before I send it for print and if so, how do I do that after I have designed everything?

vero helpful thank you

Great tutorial+++++

Great video! Really helped me gain a clear picture of how to get started!

this is helpful but what do I do when the direct selection tool only selects the last inputed rectangle?

Nice one.

Thanks for the video! Really helps When I want to send it to a printing place, how to I set it up to indicate where it needs to be folded. I sent something like this to a printer and they asked for fold marks...

very good

What I did was create a shape with the same dimensions of the artboard (exclude the bleed), and then selected Objects > path > Split into Grid, from the top menu. Then a dialog box appears and you just type how many columns you want, in this case I said three, and then check the add guides checkbox to add guides where it intersects. Its quicker than reading it :-). Just want to know if this is also a correct way of doing it?

Thankss maam

Thanks You :-)

it is Great to Leaarn Easy

Great video. How do I get my sheet close to each other? Mine are very far apart.

thanks, but how did you take two pages pl let me know...

There is a shortcut to make or copy an object ctrl+d it copies an object which you copied before. Thanks for the tutorial

thanks!

Duplicating is much more easier with the white arrow- Ctrl+Alt and drag.

to move all you do is have to hit return on a Mac or enter on a PC to bring up the move tool dialog box...then you put in your 3.66 Horizontal and 0 Vertical and then click copy.....then hit command D or control D to duplicate that move as many times as you need. Save your time with shortcuts!

Hello my dear and respectable teacher... I have a question.... Question is! Can I start our design from the read line... Or tell me what is the aims of bleed...

I need to print A3 brochure, should I follow these steps??

Let me tell you something, wow you save me a lot of money and I like to thank you for that and also. you save me a lot of time a lot of people on this site KZfaq it's not explaining what to do and I like to thank you for that they playing music in the background they going off fast I can't understand and not taking their time like you taking your time and I liked it thank you wow you're incredible thank you really you save me a lot of time. you should make a new one in 2021. it's a lot of people like me who are trying to do it and you are making it easy for us thank you

Unfortunately Erin, most tri fold brochures are roll fold/letter fold. The back panel folds inside the front & middle panel. It is therefore necessary to make allowance for this. If the panels are all the same size, the panel that folds into the other two will not fit properly. This does not apply to a “Z” fold, where all panels can be the same.

Isn't one page fold smaller than the other? I believe it's on the cover???

Why not have the Smart Guides ON ????????

Love u ma'am

The control, shift, alt isn't working for me. It just moves those three boxes to the other artboard, not copy and paste

one fold should be bigger, or else the trifold would never fold properly.

Not sure this is a good template to follow, the folds are not all the same size. The cover fold should be slightly wider, the inside folded panel (left), the one that "folds into the middle" should be slightly shorter width wise to accommodate folding inward, better to grab a template from the print vendor you're sending the art file to, or get dimensions from online

My God!! Okay, first.. you can just reflect it horizontally making a copy of it instead of moving and typing the exact size. Second, when you make a 3fold brochure you have to consider the fact that one of the panels should have smaller width due to the fact it is going to be folded into the middle (100mmX100mmX97mm).. And third, you can just drag and drop a guide from the ruler and position it wherever you want ( on the artboard) by typing the exact position in "transform x/y"panel instead of converting shapes into guides... These are some basic beginner tips... I really have no idea why you do it the way you do it.

Thanks for the tutorial! God bless + Jesus loves you. For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son (Jesus), so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life. JOHN 3:16

Lady, never start a video tutorial sounding like you're attending a funeral, and apologizing for not creating a video for a while. I watched this video in 2021, first time I've even heard of you so how am I to know you haven't done a video in a while? This destroys so much credibility on your part in my opinion. "I want to show you quickly...." More than nine minutes of a video is not "quickly." Tutorial finally starts at 1:05. Also do your division of the 11/3 BEFORE you start your video so no one hears you struggling with finding the width of the thirds. Finally (because I just couldn't watch any more after 3:41), let's HEAR you. You sound like you're exhausted, and your voice drifts away leading to nearly whispering some of the instructions. I wish this was better because I was really looking forward to a decent tutorial.
