What You Will Need

You’ll need access to Adobe InDesign. If you don’t have the software, you can download a trial from the Adobe website. You’ll also need:

• Modern house with garden
• Modern dining room
• Two tables in bright kitchen
• Business woman with coffee
• Quadran font

Download the assets and make sure the font is installed on your system before starting. When you are ready, we can dive into this flyer design tutorial! 

1. Setting Up an Open House Flyer Template in an InDesign File

Step 1

In InDesign, go to File > New. Name the document Open House Flyer. We will create a letter size InDesign flyer template. Set the file to the following dimensions:

• Width to 8.5 in
• Height to 11 in 
• Orientation to Portrait
• Units to Inches
• Pages to 1
• Number of Columns to 3
• Gutter to 0.25 in
• Margins: to 0.5 in
• Bleeds to 0.125 in (it’s best to seek your professional printer’s preference)

Click Create.

Step 2

For this open house flyer template tutorial, we will work with three Layers. Organizing layers is an important practice when designing a template.

Bring up the Layers panel by going to Window > Layers. Double-click on Layer 1 and rename it Images. 

On the Layers panel main menu, select New Layer. Name it Text. Click OK.

Remember to switch between these two layers when creating elements. This will help your client edit the InDesign flyer template easily. 

Step 3

Head over to Window > Color > Swatches to expand the Swatches panel. Choose New Color Swatch button from the main menu. Set the Swatch Name and values to the following: 

• Yellow: C=0 M=20 Y=100 K=0 
• Light Blue: C=70 M=10 Y=15 K=15
• Dark Blue: C=100 M=70 Y=45 K=35

Click Add and OK after you input each of the color values.

Step 4

For this tutorial, we will create a list of Paragraph Styles that we will use to format parts of the flyer design. 

Head over to Window > Styles > Paragraph Styles to open the Paragraph Styles panel. On the main menu, select New Paragraph Style, and set the Style Name to Title. Select the Basic Character Formats option from the left side menu. Use the following settings:

• Font Family: Quadran
• Font Style: Bold
• Size: 14 pt

Select the Character Color option from the left side menu. Set the color to the Light Blue swatch. Click OK.

Add a new Paragraph Style, set the Style Name to Body Copy and use the following settings:

• Font Family: Quadran
• Font Style: Light
• Size: 11 pt

Select the Character Color option from the left side menu. Set the color to the Dark Blue swatch. Click OK.

Add a new Paragraph Style, set the Style Name to Details, and use the following settings:

• Font Family: Quadran
• Font Style: Medium
• Size: 12 pt

Select the Character Color option from the left side menu. Set the color to the [Paper] swatch. Click OK.

Add a new Paragraph Style, set the Style Name to Information Details, and use the following settings:

• Font Family: Quadran
• Font Style: Regular
• Size: 10 pt

Select the Character Color option from the left side menu. Set the color to the [Paper] swatch. Click OK.

Step 5

To create horizontal guides, head over to Layout > Create Guides. Under Rows, set the Number to 15 and the Gutter to 0.25 in. 

Under Options, set the Fit Guides to: Margins. Click OK.

2. Designing Your Open House InDesign Flyer Template

Step 1

On the Layers panel, select the Text layer.

Let’s start by designing the top of this InDesign flyer template. Head over to the toolbar, and select the Rectangle Tool (M). Click on the document to open the Rectangle Tool option window. In the Rectangle option window, set the Width to 2.96 in and the Height to 3.79 in. Click OK. 

Place the rectangle in the top left corner of the page and align it to the bleeds. 

Step 2

Select the Text Tool (T) from the toolbar. Click on the rectangle we created to convert it into a text box. Press Command-B to open the Text Frame Options window.  

Change the Inset Spacing to the following settings:

• Top: 0.625 in
• Bottom: 0.125 in
• Left: 0.625 in
• Right: 0.125 in

Click OK.

Step 3

Using the Text Tool (T), add text to the frame. Using the Paragraph Styles, set the text to the Details style. 

Paragraph styles allow us to edit the style of the text individually after setting a specific style. In this case, we will change the ‘Open House’ text. While I used the same font, I used the Light and Bold font families for the first and second lines respectively. Set the Size to 43 pt and the Leading to 40 pt. 

To create contrast and call attention to the price of the property, I used Yellow from the Swatches panel. 

Step 4

On the Layers panel, select the Image layer. 

Press Command-D to Place an image. Select the Modern house with garden file and click OK. 

You can place the image by clicking on the document or by drawing a rectangle right after clicking OK. In this case, draw a rectangle covering columns two and three of the top right corner of the page. Don’t forget to cover the bleeds as well. 

Step 5

Another way of adding images is by first drawing image frames on the page where you’d like the images to go. In this case, we will be working on the first column. Using the Rectangle Tool (M), draw a rectangle that covers the width of the first column and three rows. Leave the height of the gutter as a space in between. Use the image below as an example. 

Step 6

Press Command-D to Place images. You can select multiple files by clicking on one file and holding Command to select other files. Select Modern dining room, Two tables in bright kitchen, and Business woman with coffee. Click OK. 

Click on each of the frames to Place the images. 

Step 7

On the Layers panel, select the Text layer. 

Using the Text Tool (T), draw a text frame that fits the second and third column in width. For the height, you can make it as short or long as you need. In my case, I will be placing a realtor profile at the bottom, so I will be making this text frame a tad shorter. Add text and use the Paragraph Style to style the text. 

Step 8

If you add bullet points and would like to divide them into two columns, you can do this without formatting the entire text frame. Using the text frame, select the text that you’d like to split into columns.

Open the Paragraph panel by going to Window > Type & Tables > Paragraph. Click on Paragraph panel main menu and select Span Columns. In the Span Columns option window, use the following settings:

• Paragraph Layout: Split Column
• Sub-columns: 2
• Inside Gutter: 0.25 in

Click OK.

Below, you can see we’ve successfully split part of the text into two columns. 

Step 9

Using the Rectangle Tool (M), draw a square that measures 1.16 in in Width and Height. Press Command-D and select the Business woman with coffee image. Click OK. Click on the square to place the image. 

Using the Direct Selection Tool (A), select the image. Head over to the Control bar and set the Scale percentage to 17%. Use the Direct Selection Tool (A) to move the image and center the subject within the square. Align the profile picture to the last image in the first column. 

Step 10

Using the Text Tool (T), create a text frame that fits the height of the profile image and takes up the rest of the width of the page. 

Using the Swatches panel, set the color to [Black] and the Tint to 20%. 

Step 11

Select the frame and press Command-B to access the Text Frame Options window. Set the Inset Spacing to 0.125 in on all sides.  

Add text and use the Paragraph Styles panel to format it. Use the Swatches panel to change the color of the title to Dark Blue.

Step 12

Using the Text Tool (T), draw a text box that has a Width of 8.7 in and a Height of 1 in. Press Command-B to open the Text Frame Options. Set the Inset Spacing options to the following settings:

• Top: 0.125 in
• Bottom: 0.625 in
• Left: 0.625 in
• Right: 0.625 in

Using the Swatches panel, set the color to Dark Blue. 

Step 13

Using the Text Tool (T), add contact information. Set the Paragraph style to Contact Details. Change the color on the Swatches panel to [Paper]. 

3. How to Export a File for Printing

Before exporting a file for printing, it is useful to take a look around all the edges of the flyer design. This is to make sure all the images and vectors bleeding out are touching the bleeds.

Step 1

To export the file, go to File > Export. Name the file Open House Flyer and choose Adobe PDF (Print) from the Format dropdown menu. Click Save. 

Step 2

In the Export Adobe PDF window, set the Adobe PDF Preset to Press Quality.

On the left side of the panel, select Marks and Bleeds. Check All Printer’s Marks and Use Document Bleed Settings. Click Export. You will have a ready-to-print PDF file.

Using the Text Tool (T), draw a text box that has a Width of 8.7 in and a Height of 1 in. Press Command-B to open the Text Frame Options. Set the Inset Spacing options to the following settings:

• Top: 0.125 in
• Bottom: 0.625 in
• Left: 0.625 in
• Right: 0.625 in

Using the Swatches panel, set the color to Dark Blue. 

Step 13

Using the Text Tool (T), add contact information. Set the Paragraph style to Contact Details. Change the color on the Swatches panel to [Paper]. 

3. How to Export a File for Printing

Before exporting a file for printing, it is useful to take a look around all the edges of the flyer design. This is to make sure all the images and vectors bleeding out are touching the bleeds.

Step 1

To export the file, go to File > Export. Name the file Open House Flyer and choose Adobe PDF (Print) from the Format dropdown menu. Click Save. 

Step 2

In the Export Adobe PDF window, set the Adobe PDF Preset to Press Quality.

On the left side of the panel, select Marks and Bleeds. Check All Printer’s Marks and Use Document Bleed Settings. Click Export. You will have a ready-to-print PDF file.

1. How to Create a Booklet in InDesign

Step 1

In InDesign, go to File > New. Name the document Booklet. We will create a letter size newsletter template. Set the file to the following dimensions:

• Width to 8.5 in
• Height to 11 in 
• Orientation to Portrait
• Units to Inches
• Pages to 12
• Check Facing Pages
• Margins: 0.75 in
• Bleeds to 0.125 in (it’s best to seek your professional printer’s preference)

Click Create.

Step 2

For this booklet tutorial, we will work with different Layers. Organising layers is an important practice to keep all the elements in the file organised. Bring up the Layers panel by going to Window > Layers. Double-click on Layer 1 and rename it Copy (Back). 

In the Layers panel main menu, select New Layer. Name it Background. Click OK. Create two additional layers named Images and Copy (Front). 

Step 3

Head over to Window > Color > Swatches to expand the Swatches panel. Choose New Color Swatch button from the main menu. Set the Swatch Name and values to the following: 

• Light: C=15 M=35 Y=45 K=0 
• Medium: C=35 M=80 Y=80 K=40
• Dark: C=65 M=70 Y=70 K=75

Click Add and OK after you input each of the color values.

Step 4

For this tutorial, we will create a list of Paragraph Styles that we will use to format parts of the booklet. 

Head over to Window > Styles > Paragraph Styles to open the Paragraph Styles panel. In the main menu, select New Paragraph Style, and set the Style Name to Title. Select the Basic Character Formats option from the left side menu. Use the following settings:

• Font Family: Bw Modelica
• Font Style: Black Condensed
• Size: 30 pt
• Tracking: 25
• Case: All Caps

Select the Character Color option from the left side menu. Set the color to the Medium swatch. Click OK.

Create a New Paragraph Style, set the Style Name to Deck. In the Basic Character Formats option, use the following settings:

• Font Family: Bw Modelica
• Font Style: Regular Condensed
• Size: 18 pt
• Tracking: 25

Select the Character Color option from the left side menu. Set the color to the Medium swatch. Click OK.

Create a New Paragraph Style, set the Style Name to Copy. In the Basic Character Formats option, use the following settings:

• Font Family: Bw Modelica
• Font Style: Regular Condensed
• Size: 9 pt
• Leading: 12 pt
• Tracking: 10

Select the Indents and Spacing option from menu on the left and set the Space Between Paragraphs Using Same Style: 0.1 in. 

Select the Character Color option from the left side menu. Set the color to the Dark swatch. Click OK.

Create a New Paragraph Style, and set the Style Name to Pull-quote. In the Basic Character Formats option, use the following settings:

• Font Family: Bw Modelica
• Font Style: Bold Condensed
• Size: 20 pt
• Tracking: 10

Select the Character Color option from the left side menu. Set the color to the [Paper] swatch. Click OK.

Create a New Paragraph Style, set the Style Name to Folio-Page number. In the Basic Character Formats option, use the following settings:

• Font Family: Bw Modelica
• Font Style: Bold Condensed
• Size: 8 pt
• Tracking: 100

Select the Character Color option from the left side menu. Set the color to the Medium swatch. Click OK.

Create a New Paragraph Style, set the Style Name to Folio-Section. In the Basic Character Formats option, use the following settings:

• Font Family: Bw Modelica
• Font Style: Harline Condensed
• Size: 420 pt
• Tracking: 10

Select the Character Color option from the left side menu. Set the color to the Light swatch. Click OK.

2. Setting Up Guides and Master Pages for Your Booklet Design

Step 1

On the Pages panel, double-click on the A-Master pages. Head over to Layout > Create Guides. In the Create Guides option window, set the Rows Number to 5 and Gutter to 0. Set the Columns Number to 8 and the Gutter to 0.1875 in. Under Options, select Fit Guides to: Margins. Click OK.

Repeat this process on the opposite page.

Step 2

On the Layers panel, select the Copy (Front) layer.

Using the Text Tool (T) from the toolbar, create a text box under the bottom left corner margin. Right-click on the text box and select Insert Special Character > Markers > Current Page Number. A letter “A” will represent the page number. On the second line, you can add the title of your booklet. 

Select the text and head over to the Paragraph Styles panel. Format the text with the Folio-page number style. 

Select the text box and press Command-C to Copy and Command-V to Paste. Place this duplicated text box on the opposite page. Press T to activate the formatting tools on the Control panel. Select the paragraph formatting tool and set the text box to Align Right.

Step 3

On the Layers panel, select the Background layer. Using the Rectangle Tool (M), create a small rectangle with a Width of 0.7 in and Height of 0.4 in. Using the Swatches panel, set the color to the Medium swatch. 

Place the rectangle on the left side margin of the left page. Duplicate it by pressing Option and drag. Place the newly duplicated element on the right margin of the right page. This is a great anchor for the title.

Step 4

Head over to the Pages panel, right-click on A-Master and select Apply Master to Pages. Under To Pages, type 2-11. Click OK. These are the pages the A-Master page will be applied to.

3. Creating a Cover of Your Booklet Design

Step 1

On the Layers panel, click on the Background layer. 

Head over to Page 1. Using the Rectangle Tool (M), create a shape on the top portion of the cover.

While selecting the rectangle, press Command-D to Place the Close up of coffee seeds image. Select the image with the Direct Selection Tool (A) and resize the image on the Control bar to 20%.

Create another rectangle of the same size as above. Head over to the Swatches panel, select the Dark swatch and set the Tint to 60%. 

Step 2

Create a rectangle for the bottom portion of the cover with the Rectangle Tool (M). Using the Swatches panel, set the color to the Dark swatch.

Using the Line Tool (\), create a line that goes across the width of the page. On the Swatches panel, set the stroke color to the Light color swatch. On the Control panel, set the Stroke Weight to 5 pt. 

Place the line between the image and the bottom of the cover. 

Step 3

On the Layers panel, lock all the layers and leave the Copy (Front) unlocked. 

Using the Text Tool (T), add a title and a deck to the booklet and place it in the top left corner of the page. 

Open the Character panel (Window > Type & Tables > Character). For the title, set the Font to Bw Modelica Bold Condensed, Size 55 pt, and Leading 50 pt. 

For the deck, set the Font to Bw Modelica Light Condensed and Size 18 pt.

Step 4

Using the Text Tool (T), add a text box to fit the width of the page and place it over the bottom margin. While selecting the text box, press Command-B to open the Text Frame Options window. Under Columns, set the Number to 3. Click OK. 

Add contact information to the text frame. On the Character panel, set the font to Bw Modelica Light Condensed and Size 9 pt. 

4. Creating the Inside Spreads of Your Booklet Design

Step 1

Let’s work on Pages 2-3 of the booklet. On the Layers panel, unlock the Images layer. 

Head over to Page 2 and using the Rectangle Tool (M), create a rectangle that measures 10 in in Width and 11.25 in in Height. This element will go over the gutter of the page. 

Select the rectangle and press Command-D to place the Coffee cup with roasted beans image inside it. Using the Direct Selection Tool (A), move the image to find a good placement. 

To make the page number visible, we need to change the color. Press Shift-Command and click on the page number to unlock it from the Master Page. Using the Swatches panel, change the color of the type to [Paper].

Lock the text frame by pressing Command-L. 

Step 2

On Page 3, add a text box using the Text Tool (T). Place the text box at the very top of the page, and add a title and a deck. Using the Paragraph Styles panel, format the title and the deck with their corresponding styles.

Create a text box using the Text Tool (T) for the bottom portion of the page—this will house the body copy. This text box should take the remaining width of the page. While selecting it, press Command-B to open the Text Frame Options window. Under Columns, set the Number to 2 and the Gutter to 0.1667 in. Click OK.

Add content and use the Paragraph Styles panel, to format it to the Copy style.

On the Layers panel, select the Copy (Back) layer (lock all the other layers if necessary). Using the Text Tool (T), draw a text box and add the section number. Using the Paragraph Styles panel, format the text box to the Folio-Section style. Place the section number anywhere on the page—I chose to display it near the title and deck. 

Now we can use this spread as a base for the rest of the inside pages.

Step 3

For Pages 4-5, we will create a mirrored layout of what we created on Pages 2-3. 

Select all the elements on Pages 2-3, and press Command-C to Copy. Head over to Pages 4-5 and press Shift-Option-Command-V to Paste in Place. 

The elements will be pasted onto one layer, but it’s best to move the elements to their respective layers. You can do so by selecting an element on the page, heading over to the Layers panel, and dragging the square on the right to another layer.

Using the Selection Tool (V), move the image to the right. Select all the elements on the right side of the page and move them towards the left side.

Let’s start editing by changing up the image. Select the image and press Command-D to Place the All kinds of coffee on spoons image. Using the Direct Selection Tool (A), select the image followed by R to Rotate the image. 

To add a pull-quote, create a text box using the Text Tool (T). While selecting the text box, press Command-B to open the Text Frame Options window. On the window, set the Inset Spacing to 0.375 in on all sides. Click OK. 

Using the Paragraph Styles panel, format the text box with the Pull-quote style. For the quote credit, open the Character panel. Set the Font to Bw Modelica Light Condensed and Size 14 pt. 

Use the Text Tool (T) to add your own copy on Page 4.

To add a pull-quote on the body copy, create a text box with the Text Tool (T). Format the text box on the Character panel, setting the Font to Bw Modelica Bold Condensed, Size 14 pt. 

On the Swatches panel, set the color to Medium. 

On the Text Wrap panel (Window > Text Wrap), select the Wrap around bounding box. Set all the Offset sides to 0.125 in.

Step 4

For Pages 6-7, we will create a resting spread to give the reader a visual break. 

Press Shift-Command, select both of the rectangles on each side at the top of the page, and press Delete. 

On the Layers panel, select the Background layer. Using the Rectangle Tool (M), cover the spread with a rectangle. Use the Swatches panel to set the color to the Dark swatch. Lock the Background layer on the Layers panel and select the Images layer.

Press Command-D to add the Experienced barista making coffee and Hot drink warm up images. Feel free to arrange them as you wish—here I placed both on opposite sides of the spread. 

Copy the pull-quote from Page 5 by pressing Command-C. Paste the element by pressing Command-V on Pages 6-7. Use the Text Tool (T) to edit the quotes. 

Step 5

Pages 8-9 will have a different layout than the rest of the booklet. This interview style spread is a good visual contrast to the rest of the layout. 

Press Shift-Command, select the rectangle on Page 9, and press Delete. 

Using the Rectangle Tool (M), cover the spread with a rectangle and make sure this is on the Background layer. Use the Swatches panel to set the color to the Dark swatch. Lock the layer and select the Images layer. 

Copy (Command-V) and Paste in Place (Shift-Option-Command-V) the title text box from Page 4 onto Page 8. Use the Text Tool (T) to edit the text. Using the Swatches panel, change the color of the text to the Light swatch. 

Create a text box using the Text Tool (T). Head over to the Control bar, and set the Width to 2.9 in and the Height to 5.7 in. 

Using the Text Tool (T), add copy and use the Paragraph Styles to format the text to the Copy style. Select the text and change the color on the Swatches panel to Light. 

Select three words from the beginning of the text box, and head over to the Character panel. Set the Font to Bw Modelica Black Condensed. This is a great way to let the reader know where each interview starts.

Select the Ellipse Tool (L), and click on the document to open the Ellipse option window. Set the Width and Height to 1 in. Click OK. Place the ellipse over the text frame and use the Align panel to Center both elements. 

Using the Text Tool (T), create a small text frame under the ellipse. This will serve as the name/title text. Use the Paragraph Styles to format the text to the Copy style. With the help of the Swatches panel and the Character panel, create your own combination of styles. Don’t forget to show us in the comments below! 

Duplicate the text frame and circle three times by pressing Shift-Option and dragging. Repeat these elements on the opposite page.

Select each circle and press Command-D to Place the following images: A person holding a sign, Portrait of pretty young waitress, Barista cafe, and Attractive business owner. Using the Direct Selection Tool (A), select each image within the ellipse to move and resize. 

Step 6

For Pages 10-11, we will go back to the initial layout. 

Copy (Command-C) and Paste in Place (Shift-Option-Command-V) the title, deck, section number and copy from Page 4 onto Page 10. Use the Text Tool (T) to edit the copy.  

To create a copy that extends to the next page, we will use the threading option. Duplicate the text frame onto Page 11 by pressing Shift-Option and dragging. Delete the text in the new text box. 

Select the text box on Page 10. If you have overflowing text, you will see a red plus symbol on the bottom right. If you don’t have any overflowing text, you’ll see an empty blue box. Click on the red plus symbol or blue box, followed by a click on the empty text box on Page 11. This will allow you to continue the text on the next page or anywhere you are threading the text box. 

Press Command-D to place the Coffee image. Place the image in the bottom left corner of Page 10, and make sure it is bleeding out of the page. Head over to the Text Wrap panel (Window > Text Wrap) and select the Wrap around bounding box button. 

Press Command-D to place the Barista at work image. This time, place the image in the top right corner of Page 11. Make sure it is bleeding out of the page and covering the first inside column of Page 10. Head over to the Text Wrap panel and select the Wrap around bounding box button. Set the Offset to 0.125 in—this will help with the text frame underneath. 

Step 7

Using the Rectangle Tool (M), cover the back page. While selecting the rectangle, press Command-D to Place the Coffee beans image.

Create another rectangle of the same size as above. Head over to the Swatches panel, select the Dark swatch and set the Tint to 60%. 

Copy (Command-C) and Paste (Command-V) the contact information from the front cover.

5. How to Export a File for Printing

Before exporting a file for printing, it’s useful to take a look around all the edges of the design. This is to make sure all the images and vectors bleeding out are touching the bleeds.

Step 1

To export the file, go to File > Export. Name the file Booklet and choose Adobe PDF (Print) from the Format dropdown menu. Click Save. 

Step 2

In the Export Adobe PDF window, set the Adobe PDF Preset to Press Quality. Under Pages, select Export As Pages.

On the left side of the panel, select Marks and Bleeds. Check All Printer’s Marks and Use Document Bleed Settings. Click Export. You will have a ready-to-print PDF file.

Head over to Page 2 and using the Rectangle Tool (M), create a rectangle that measures 10 in in Width and 11.25 in in Height. This element will go over the gutter of the page. 

Select the rectangle and press Command-D to place the Coffee cup with roasted beans image inside it. Using the Direct Selection Tool (A), move the image to find a good placement. 

To make the page number visible, we need to change the color. Press Shift-Command and click on the page number to unlock it from the Master Page. Using the Swatches panel, change the color of the type to [Paper].

Lock the text frame by pressing Command-L. 

Step 2

On Page 3, add a text box using the Text Tool (T). Place the text box at the very top of the page, and add a title and a deck. Using the Paragraph Styles panel, format the title and the deck with their corresponding styles.

Create a text box using the Text Tool (T) for the bottom portion of the page—this will house the body copy. This text box should take the remaining width of the page. While selecting it, press Command-B to open the Text Frame Options window. Under Columns, set the Number to 2 and the Gutter to 0.1667 in. Click OK.

Add content and use the Paragraph Styles panel, to format it to the Copy style.

On the Layers panel, select the Copy (Back) layer (lock all the other layers if necessary). Using the Text Tool (T), draw a text box and add the section number. Using the Paragraph Styles panel, format the text box to the Folio-Section style. Place the section number anywhere on the page—I chose to display it near the title and deck. 

Now we can use this spread as a base for the rest of the inside pages.

Step 3

For Pages 4-5, we will create a mirrored layout of what we created on Pages 2-3. 

Select all the elements on Pages 2-3, and press Command-C to Copy. Head over to Pages 4-5 and press Shift-Option-Command-V to Paste in Place. 

The elements will be pasted onto one layer, but it’s best to move the elements to their respective layers. You can do so by selecting an element on the page, heading over to the Layers panel, and dragging the square on the right to another layer.

Using the Selection Tool (V), move the image to the right. Select all the elements on the right side of the page and move them towards the left side.

Let’s start editing by changing up the image. Select the image and press Command-D to Place the All kinds of coffee on spoons image. Using the Direct Selection Tool (A), select the image followed by R to Rotate the image. 

To add a pull-quote, create a text box using the Text Tool (T). While selecting the text box, press Command-B to open the Text Frame Options window. On the window, set the Inset Spacing to 0.375 in on all sides. Click OK. 

Using the Paragraph Styles panel, format the text box with the Pull-quote style. For the quote credit, open the Character panel. Set the Font to Bw Modelica Light Condensed and Size 14 pt. 

Use the Text Tool (T) to add your own copy on Page 4.

To add a pull-quote on the body copy, create a text box with the Text Tool (T). Format the text box on the Character panel, setting the Font to Bw Modelica Bold Condensed, Size 14 pt. 

On the Swatches panel, set the color to Medium. 

On the Text Wrap panel (Window > Text Wrap), select the Wrap around bounding box. Set all the Offset sides to 0.125 in.

Step 4

For Pages 6-7, we will create a resting spread to give the reader a visual break. 

Press Shift-Command, select both of the rectangles on each side at the top of the page, and press Delete. 

On the Layers panel, select the Background layer. Using the Rectangle Tool (M), cover the spread with a rectangle. Use the Swatches panel to set the color to the Dark swatch. Lock the Background layer on the Layers panel and select the Images layer.

Press Command-D to add the Experienced barista making coffee and Hot drink warm up images. Feel free to arrange them as you wish—here I placed both on opposite sides of the spread. 

Copy the pull-quote from Page 5 by pressing Command-C. Paste the element by pressing Command-V on Pages 6-7. Use the Text Tool (T) to edit the quotes. 

Step 5

Pages 8-9 will have a different layout than the rest of the booklet. This interview style spread is a good visual contrast to the rest of the layout. 

Press Shift-Command, select the rectangle on Page 9, and press Delete. 

Using the Rectangle Tool (M), cover the spread with a rectangle and make sure this is on the Background layer. Use the Swatches panel to set the color to the Dark swatch. Lock the layer and select the Images layer. 

Copy (Command-V) and Paste in Place (Shift-Option-Command-V) the title text box from Page 4 onto Page 8. Use the Text Tool (T) to edit the text. Using the Swatches panel, change the color of the text to the Light swatch. 

Create a text box using the Text Tool (T). Head over to the Control bar, and set the Width to 2.9 in and the Height to 5.7 in. 

Using the Text Tool (T), add copy and use the Paragraph Styles to format the text to the Copy style. Select the text and change the color on the Swatches panel to Light. 

Select three words from the beginning of the text box, and head over to the Character panel. Set the Font to Bw Modelica Black Condensed. This is a great way to let the reader know where each interview starts.

Select the Ellipse Tool (L), and click on the document to open the Ellipse option window. Set the Width and Height to 1 in. Click OK. Place the ellipse over the text frame and use the Align panel to Center both elements. 

Using the Text Tool (T), create a small text frame under the ellipse. This will serve as the name/title text. Use the Paragraph Styles to format the text to the Copy style. With the help of the Swatches panel and the Character panel, create your own combination of styles. Don’t forget to show us in the comments below! 

Duplicate the text frame and circle three times by pressing Shift-Option and dragging. Repeat these elements on the opposite page.

Select each circle and press Command-D to Place the following images: A person holding a sign, Portrait of pretty young waitress, Barista cafe, and Attractive business owner. Using the Direct Selection Tool (A), select each image within the ellipse to move and resize. 

Step 6

For Pages 10-11, we will go back to the initial layout. 

Copy (Command-C) and Paste in Place (Shift-Option-Command-V) the title, deck, section number and copy from Page 4 onto Page 10. Use the Text Tool (T) to edit the copy.  

To create a copy that extends to the next page, we will use the threading option. Duplicate the text frame onto Page 11 by pressing Shift-Option and dragging. Delete the text in the new text box. 

Select the text box on Page 10. If you have overflowing text, you will see a red plus symbol on the bottom right. If you don’t have any overflowing text, you’ll see an empty blue box. Click on the red plus symbol or blue box, followed by a click on the empty text box on Page 11. This will allow you to continue the text on the next page or anywhere you are threading the text box. 

Press Command-D to place the Coffee image. Place the image in the bottom left corner of Page 10, and make sure it is bleeding out of the page. Head over to the Text Wrap panel (Window > Text Wrap) and select the Wrap around bounding box button. 

Press Command-D to place the Barista at work image. This time, place the image in the top right corner of Page 11. Make sure it is bleeding out of the page and covering the first inside column of Page 10. Head over to the Text Wrap panel and select the Wrap around bounding box button. Set the Offset to 0.125 in—this will help with the text frame underneath. 

Step 7

Using the Rectangle Tool (M), cover the back page. While selecting the rectangle, press Command-D to Place the Coffee beans image.

Create another rectangle of the same size as above. Head over to the Swatches panel, select the Dark swatch and set the Tint to 60%. 

Copy (Command-C) and Paste (Command-V) the contact information from the front cover.

5. How to Export a File for Printing

Before exporting a file for printing, it’s useful to take a look around all the edges of the design. This is to make sure all the images and vectors bleeding out are touching the bleeds.

Step 1

To export the file, go to File > Export. Name the file Booklet and choose Adobe PDF (Print) from the Format dropdown menu. Click Save. 

Step 2

In the Export Adobe PDF window, set the Adobe PDF Preset to Press Quality. Under Pages, select Export As Pages.

On the left side of the panel, select Marks and Bleeds. Check All Printer’s Marks and Use Document Bleed Settings. Click Export. You will have a ready-to-print PDF file.

1. How to Create a Booklet in InDesign

Step 1

In InDesign, go to File > New. Name the document Booklet. We will create a letter size newsletter template. Set the file to the following dimensions:

• Width to 8.5 in
• Height to 11 in 
• Orientation to Portrait
• Units to Inches
• Pages to 12
• Check Facing Pages
• Margins: 0.75 in
• Bleeds to 0.125 in (it’s best to seek your professional printer’s preference)

Click Create.

Step 2

For this booklet tutorial, we will work with different Layers. Organising layers is an important practice to keep all the elements in the file organised. Bring up the Layers panel by going to Window > Layers. Double-click on Layer 1 and rename it Copy (Back). 

In the Layers panel main menu, select New Layer. Name it Background. Click OK. Create two additional layers named Images and Copy (Front). 

Step 3

Head over to Window > Color > Swatches to expand the Swatches panel. Choose New Color Swatch button from the main menu. Set the Swatch Name and values to the following: 

• Light: C=15 M=35 Y=45 K=0 
• Medium: C=35 M=80 Y=80 K=40
• Dark: C=65 M=70 Y=70 K=75

Click Add and OK after you input each of the color values.

Step 4

For this tutorial, we will create a list of Paragraph Styles that we will use to format parts of the booklet. 

Head over to Window > Styles > Paragraph Styles to open the Paragraph Styles panel. In the main menu, select New Paragraph Style, and set the Style Name to Title. Select the Basic Character Formats option from the left side menu. Use the following settings:

• Font Family: Bw Modelica
• Font Style: Black Condensed
• Size: 30 pt
• Tracking: 25
• Case: All Caps

Select the Character Color option from the left side menu. Set the color to the Medium swatch. Click OK.

Create a New Paragraph Style, set the Style Name to Deck. In the Basic Character Formats option, use the following settings:

• Font Family: Bw Modelica
• Font Style: Regular Condensed
• Size: 18 pt
• Tracking: 25

Select the Character Color option from the left side menu. Set the color to the Medium swatch. Click OK.

Create a New Paragraph Style, set the Style Name to Copy. In the Basic Character Formats option, use the following settings:

• Font Family: Bw Modelica
• Font Style: Regular Condensed
• Size: 9 pt
• Leading: 12 pt
• Tracking: 10

Select the Indents and Spacing option from menu on the left and set the Space Between Paragraphs Using Same Style: 0.1 in. 

Select the Character Color option from the left side menu. Set the color to the Dark swatch. Click OK.

Create a New Paragraph Style, and set the Style Name to Pull-quote. In the Basic Character Formats option, use the following settings:

• Font Family: Bw Modelica
• Font Style: Bold Condensed
• Size: 20 pt
• Tracking: 10

Select the Character Color option from the left side menu. Set the color to the [Paper] swatch. Click OK.

Create a New Paragraph Style, set the Style Name to Folio-Page number. In the Basic Character Formats option, use the following settings:

• Font Family: Bw Modelica
• Font Style: Bold Condensed
• Size: 8 pt
• Tracking: 100

Select the Character Color option from the left side menu. Set the color to the Medium swatch. Click OK.

Create a New Paragraph Style, set the Style Name to Folio-Section. In the Basic Character Formats option, use the following settings:

• Font Family: Bw Modelica
• Font Style: Harline Condensed
• Size: 420 pt
• Tracking: 10

Select the Character Color option from the left side menu. Set the color to the Light swatch. Click OK.

2. Setting Up Guides and Master Pages for Your Booklet Design

Step 1

On the Pages panel, double-click on the A-Master pages. Head over to Layout > Create Guides. In the Create Guides option window, set the Rows Number to 5 and Gutter to 0. Set the Columns Number to 8 and the Gutter to 0.1875 in. Under Options, select Fit Guides to: Margins. Click OK.

Repeat this process on the opposite page.

Step 2

On the Layers panel, select the Copy (Front) layer.

Using the Text Tool (T) from the toolbar, create a text box under the bottom left corner margin. Right-click on the text box and select Insert Special Character > Markers > Current Page Number. A letter “A” will represent the page number. On the second line, you can add the title of your booklet. 

Select the text and head over to the Paragraph Styles panel. Format the text with the Folio-page number style. 

Select the text box and press Command-C to Copy and Command-V to Paste. Place this duplicated text box on the opposite page. Press T to activate the formatting tools on the Control panel. Select the paragraph formatting tool and set the text box to Align Right.

Step 3

On the Layers panel, select the Background layer. Using the Rectangle Tool (M), create a small rectangle with a Width of 0.7 in and Height of 0.4 in. Using the Swatches panel, set the color to the Medium swatch. 

Place the rectangle on the left side margin of the left page. Duplicate it by pressing Option and drag. Place the newly duplicated element on the right margin of the right page. This is a great anchor for the title.

Step 4

Head over to the Pages panel, right-click on A-Master and select Apply Master to Pages. Under To Pages, type 2-11. Click OK. These are the pages the A-Master page will be applied to.

3. Creating a Cover of Your Booklet Design

Step 1

On the Layers panel, click on the Background layer. 

Head over to Page 1. Using the Rectangle Tool (M), create a shape on the top portion of the cover.

While selecting the rectangle, press Command-D to Place the Close up of coffee seeds image. Select the image with the Direct Selection Tool (A) and resize the image on the Control bar to 20%.

Create another rectangle of the same size as above. Head over to the Swatches panel, select the Dark swatch and set the Tint to 60%. 

Step 2

Create a rectangle for the bottom portion of the cover with the Rectangle Tool (M). Using the Swatches panel, set the color to the Dark swatch.

Using the Line Tool (\), create a line that goes across the width of the page. On the Swatches panel, set the stroke color to the Light color swatch. On the Control panel, set the Stroke Weight to 5 pt. 

Place the line between the image and the bottom of the cover. 

Step 3

On the Layers panel, lock all the layers and leave the Copy (Front) unlocked. 

Using the Text Tool (T), add a title and a deck to the booklet and place it in the top left corner of the page. 

Open the Character panel (Window > Type & Tables > Character). For the title, set the Font to Bw Modelica Bold Condensed, Size 55 pt, and Leading 50 pt. 

For the deck, set the Font to Bw Modelica Light Condensed and Size 18 pt.

Step 4

Using the Text Tool (T), add a text box to fit the width of the page and place it over the bottom margin. While selecting the text box, press Command-B to open the Text Frame Options window. Under Columns, set the Number to 3. Click OK. 

Add contact information to the text frame. On the Character panel, set the font to Bw Modelica Light Condensed and Size 9 pt. 

4. Creating the Inside Spreads of Your Booklet Design

Step 1

Let’s work on Pages 2-3 of the booklet. On the Layers panel, unlock the Images layer. 

Head over to Page 2 and using the Rectangle Tool (M), create a rectangle that measures 10 in in Width and 11.25 in in Height. This element will go over the gutter of the page. 

Select the rectangle and press Command-D to place the Coffee cup with roasted beans image inside it. Using the Direct Selection Tool (A), move the image to find a good placement. 

To make the page number visible, we need to change the color. Press Shift-Command and click on the page number to unlock it from the Master Page. Using the Swatches panel, change the color of the type to [Paper].

Lock the text frame by pressing Command-L. 

Step 2

On Page 3, add a text box using the Text Tool (T). Place the text box at the very top of the page, and add a title and a deck. Using the Paragraph Styles panel, format the title and the deck with their corresponding styles.

Create a text box using the Text Tool (T) for the bottom portion of the page—this will house the body copy. This text box should take the remaining width of the page. While selecting it, press Command-B to open the Text Frame Options window. Under Columns, set the Number to 2 and the Gutter to 0.1667 in. Click OK.

Add content and use the Paragraph Styles panel, to format it to the Copy style.

On the Layers panel, select the Copy (Back) layer (lock all the other layers if necessary). Using the Text Tool (T), draw a text box and add the section number. Using the Paragraph Styles panel, format the text box to the Folio-Section style. Place the section number anywhere on the page—I chose to display it near the title and deck. 

Now we can use this spread as a base for the rest of the inside pages.

Step 3

For Pages 4-5, we will create a mirrored layout of what we created on Pages 2-3. 

Select all the elements on Pages 2-3, and press Command-C to Copy. Head over to Pages 4-5 and press Shift-Option-Command-V to Paste in Place. 

The elements will be pasted onto one layer, but it’s best to move the elements to their respective layers. You can do so by selecting an element on the page, heading over to the Layers panel, and dragging the square on the right to another layer.

Using the Selection Tool (V), move the image to the right. Select all the elements on the right side of the page and move them towards the left side.

Let’s start editing by changing up the image. Select the image and press Command-D to Place the All kinds of coffee on spoons image. Using the Direct Selection Tool (A), select the image followed by R to Rotate the image. 

To add a pull-quote, create a text box using the Text Tool (T). While selecting the text box, press Command-B to open the Text Frame Options window. On the window, set the Inset Spacing to 0.375 in on all sides. Click OK. 

Using the Paragraph Styles panel, format the text box with the Pull-quote style. For the quote credit, open the Character panel. Set the Font to Bw Modelica Light Condensed and Size 14 pt. 

Use the Text Tool (T) to add your own copy on Page 4.

To add a pull-quote on the body copy, create a text box with the Text Tool (T). Format the text box on the Character panel, setting the Font to Bw Modelica Bold Condensed, Size 14 pt. 

On the Swatches panel, set the color to Medium. 

On the Text Wrap panel (Window > Text Wrap), select the Wrap around bounding box. Set all the Offset sides to 0.125 in.

Step 4

For Pages 6-7, we will create a resting spread to give the reader a visual break. 

Press Shift-Command, select both of the rectangles on each side at the top of the page, and press Delete. 

On the Layers panel, select the Background layer. Using the Rectangle Tool (M), cover the spread with a rectangle. Use the Swatches panel to set the color to the Dark swatch. Lock the Background layer on the Layers panel and select the Images layer.

Press Command-D to add the Experienced barista making coffee and Hot drink warm up images. Feel free to arrange them as you wish—here I placed both on opposite sides of the spread. 

Copy the pull-quote from Page 5 by pressing Command-C. Paste the element by pressing Command-V on Pages 6-7. Use the Text Tool (T) to edit the quotes. 

Step 5

Pages 8-9 will have a different layout than the rest of the booklet. This interview style spread is a good visual contrast to the rest of the layout. 

Press Shift-Command, select the rectangle on Page 9, and press Delete. 

Using the Rectangle Tool (M), cover the spread with a rectangle and make sure this is on the Background layer. Use the Swatches panel to set the color to the Dark swatch. Lock the layer and select the Images layer. 

Copy (Command-V) and Paste in Place (Shift-Option-Command-V) the title text box from Page 4 onto Page 8. Use the Text Tool (T) to edit the text. Using the Swatches panel, change the color of the text to the Light swatch. 

Create a text box using the Text Tool (T). Head over to the Control bar, and set the Width to 2.9 in and the Height to 5.7 in. 

Using the Text Tool (T), add copy and use the Paragraph Styles to format the text to the Copy style. Select the text and change the color on the Swatches panel to Light. 

Select three words from the beginning of the text box, and head over to the Character panel. Set the Font to Bw Modelica Black Condensed. This is a great way to let the reader know where each interview starts.

Select the Ellipse Tool (L), and click on the document to open the Ellipse option window. Set the Width and Height to 1 in. Click OK. Place the ellipse over the text frame and use the Align panel to Center both elements. 

Using the Text Tool (T), create a small text frame under the ellipse. This will serve as the name/title text. Use the Paragraph Styles to format the text to the Copy style. With the help of the Swatches panel and the Character panel, create your own combination of styles. Don’t forget to show us in the comments below! 

Duplicate the text frame and circle three times by pressing Shift-Option and dragging. Repeat these elements on the opposite page.

Select each circle and press Command-D to Place the following images: A person holding a sign, Portrait of pretty young waitress, Barista cafe, and Attractive business owner. Using the Direct Selection Tool (A), select each image within the ellipse to move and resize. 

Step 6

For Pages 10-11, we will go back to the initial layout. 

Copy (Command-C) and Paste in Place (Shift-Option-Command-V) the title, deck, section number and copy from Page 4 onto Page 10. Use the Text Tool (T) to edit the copy.  

To create a copy that extends to the next page, we will use the threading option. Duplicate the text frame onto Page 11 by pressing Shift-Option and dragging. Delete the text in the new text box. 

Select the text box on Page 10. If you have overflowing text, you will see a red plus symbol on the bottom right. If you don’t have any overflowing text, you’ll see an empty blue box. Click on the red plus symbol or blue box, followed by a click on the empty text box on Page 11. This will allow you to continue the text on the next page or anywhere you are threading the text box. 

Press Command-D to place the Coffee image. Place the image in the bottom left corner of Page 10, and make sure it is bleeding out of the page. Head over to the Text Wrap panel (Window > Text Wrap) and select the Wrap around bounding box button. 

Press Command-D to place the Barista at work image. This time, place the image in the top right corner of Page 11. Make sure it is bleeding out of the page and covering the first inside column of Page 10. Head over to the Text Wrap panel and select the Wrap around bounding box button. Set the Offset to 0.125 in—this will help with the text frame underneath. 

Step 7

Using the Rectangle Tool (M), cover the back page. While selecting the rectangle, press Command-D to Place the Coffee beans image.

Create another rectangle of the same size as above. Head over to the Swatches panel, select the Dark swatch and set the Tint to 60%. 

Copy (Command-C) and Paste (Command-V) the contact information from the front cover.

5. How to Export a File for Printing

Before exporting a file for printing, it’s useful to take a look around all the edges of the design. This is to make sure all the images and vectors bleeding out are touching the bleeds.

Step 1

To export the file, go to File > Export. Name the file Booklet and choose Adobe PDF (Print) from the Format dropdown menu. Click Save. 

Step 2

In the Export Adobe PDF window, set the Adobe PDF Preset to Press Quality. Under Pages, select Export As Pages.

On the left side of the panel, select Marks and Bleeds. Check All Printer’s Marks and Use Document Bleed Settings. Click Export. You will have a ready-to-print PDF file.

1. How to Create a Booklet in InDesign

Step 1

In InDesign, go to File > New. Name the document Booklet. We will create a letter size newsletter template. Set the file to the following dimensions:

• Width to 8.5 in
• Height to 11 in 
• Orientation to Portrait
• Units to Inches
• Pages to 12
• Check Facing Pages
• Margins: 0.75 in
• Bleeds to 0.125 in (it’s best to seek your professional printer’s preference)

Click Create.

Step 2

For this booklet tutorial, we will work with different Layers. Organising layers is an important practice to keep all the elements in the file organised. Bring up the Layers panel by going to Window > Layers. Double-click on Layer 1 and rename it Copy (Back). 

In the Layers panel main menu, select New Layer. Name it Background. Click OK. Create two additional layers named Images and Copy (Front). 

Step 3

Head over to Window > Color > Swatches to expand the Swatches panel. Choose New Color Swatch button from the main menu. Set the Swatch Name and values to the following: 

• Light: C=15 M=35 Y=45 K=0 
• Medium: C=35 M=80 Y=80 K=40
• Dark: C=65 M=70 Y=70 K=75

Click Add and OK after you input each of the color values.

Step 4

For this tutorial, we will create a list of Paragraph Styles that we will use to format parts of the booklet. 

Head over to Window > Styles > Paragraph Styles to open the Paragraph Styles panel. In the main menu, select New Paragraph Style, and set the Style Name to Title. Select the Basic Character Formats option from the left side menu. Use the following settings:

• Font Family: Bw Modelica
• Font Style: Black Condensed
• Size: 30 pt
• Tracking: 25
• Case: All Caps

Select the Character Color option from the left side menu. Set the color to the Medium swatch. Click OK.

Create a New Paragraph Style, set the Style Name to Deck. In the Basic Character Formats option, use the following settings:

• Font Family: Bw Modelica
• Font Style: Regular Condensed
• Size: 18 pt
• Tracking: 25

Select the Character Color option from the left side menu. Set the color to the Medium swatch. Click OK.

Create a New Paragraph Style, set the Style Name to Copy. In the Basic Character Formats option, use the following settings:

• Font Family: Bw Modelica
• Font Style: Regular Condensed
• Size: 9 pt
• Leading: 12 pt
• Tracking: 10

Select the Indents and Spacing option from menu on the left and set the Space Between Paragraphs Using Same Style: 0.1 in. 

Select the Character Color option from the left side menu. Set the color to the Dark swatch. Click OK.

Create a New Paragraph Style, and set the Style Name to Pull-quote. In the Basic Character Formats option, use the following settings:

• Font Family: Bw Modelica
• Font Style: Bold Condensed
• Size: 20 pt
• Tracking: 10

Select the Character Color option from the left side menu. Set the color to the [Paper] swatch. Click OK.

Create a New Paragraph Style, set the Style Name to Folio-Page number. In the Basic Character Formats option, use the following settings:

• Font Family: Bw Modelica
• Font Style: Bold Condensed
• Size: 8 pt
• Tracking: 100

Select the Character Color option from the left side menu. Set the color to the Medium swatch. Click OK.

Create a New Paragraph Style, set the Style Name to Folio-Section. In the Basic Character Formats option, use the following settings:

• Font Family: Bw Modelica
• Font Style: Harline Condensed
• Size: 420 pt
• Tracking: 10

Select the Character Color option from the left side menu. Set the color to the Light swatch. Click OK.

2. Setting Up Guides and Master Pages for Your Booklet Design

Step 1

On the Pages panel, double-click on the A-Master pages. Head over to Layout > Create Guides. In the Create Guides option window, set the Rows Number to 5 and Gutter to 0. Set the Columns Number to 8 and the Gutter to 0.1875 in. Under Options, select Fit Guides to: Margins. Click OK.

Repeat this process on the opposite page.

Step 2

On the Layers panel, select the Copy (Front) layer.

Using the Text Tool (T) from the toolbar, create a text box under the bottom left corner margin. Right-click on the text box and select Insert Special Character > Markers > Current Page Number. A letter “A” will represent the page number. On the second line, you can add the title of your booklet. 

Select the text and head over to the Paragraph Styles panel. Format the text with the Folio-page number style. 

Select the text box and press Command-C to Copy and Command-V to Paste. Place this duplicated text box on the opposite page. Press T to activate the formatting tools on the Control panel. Select the paragraph formatting tool and set the text box to Align Right.

Step 3

On the Layers panel, select the Background layer. Using the Rectangle Tool (M), create a small rectangle with a Width of 0.7 in and Height of 0.4 in. Using the Swatches panel, set the color to the Medium swatch. 

Place the rectangle on the left side margin of the left page. Duplicate it by pressing Option and drag. Place the newly duplicated element on the right margin of the right page. This is a great anchor for the title.

Step 4

Head over to the Pages panel, right-click on A-Master and select Apply Master to Pages. Under To Pages, type 2-11. Click OK. These are the pages the A-Master page will be applied to.

3. Creating a Cover of Your Booklet Design

Step 1

On the Layers panel, click on the Background layer. 

Head over to Page 1. Using the Rectangle Tool (M), create a shape on the top portion of the cover.

While selecting the rectangle, press Command-D to Place the Close up of coffee seeds image. Select the image with the Direct Selection Tool (A) and resize the image on the Control bar to 20%.

Create another rectangle of the same size as above. Head over to the Swatches panel, select the Dark swatch and set the Tint to 60%. 

Step 2

Create a rectangle for the bottom portion of the cover with the Rectangle Tool (M). Using the Swatches panel, set the color to the Dark swatch.

Using the Line Tool (\), create a line that goes across the width of the page. On the Swatches panel, set the stroke color to the Light color swatch. On the Control panel, set the Stroke Weight to 5 pt. 

Place the line between the image and the bottom of the cover. 

Step 3

On the Layers panel, lock all the layers and leave the Copy (Front) unlocked. 

Using the Text Tool (T), add a title and a deck to the booklet and place it in the top left corner of the page. 

Open the Character panel (Window > Type & Tables > Character). For the title, set the Font to Bw Modelica Bold Condensed, Size 55 pt, and Leading 50 pt. 

For the deck, set the Font to Bw Modelica Light Condensed and Size 18 pt.

Step 4

Using the Text Tool (T), add a text box to fit the width of the page and place it over the bottom margin. While selecting the text box, press Command-B to open the Text Frame Options window. Under Columns, set the Number to 3. Click OK. 

Add contact information to the text frame. On the Character panel, set the font to Bw Modelica Light Condensed and Size 9 pt. 

4. Creating the Inside Spreads of Your Booklet Design

Step 1

Let’s work on Pages 2-3 of the booklet. On the Layers panel, unlock the Images layer. 

Head over to Page 2 and using the Rectangle Tool (M), create a rectangle that measures 10 in in Width and 11.25 in in Height. This element will go over the gutter of the page. 

Select the rectangle and press Command-D to place the Coffee cup with roasted beans image inside it. Using the Direct Selection Tool (A), move the image to find a good placement. 

To make the page number visible, we need to change the color. Press Shift-Command and click on the page number to unlock it from the Master Page. Using the Swatches panel, change the color of the type to [Paper].

Lock the text frame by pressing Command-L. 

Step 2

On Page 3, add a text box using the Text Tool (T). Place the text box at the very top of the page, and add a title and a deck. Using the Paragraph Styles panel, format the title and the deck with their corresponding styles.

Create a text box using the Text Tool (T) for the bottom portion of the page—this will house the body copy. This text box should take the remaining width of the page. While selecting it, press Command-B to open the Text Frame Options window. Under Columns, set the Number to 2 and the Gutter to 0.1667 in. Click OK.

Add content and use the Paragraph Styles panel, to format it to the Copy style.

On the Layers panel, select the Copy (Back) layer (lock all the other layers if necessary). Using the Text Tool (T), draw a text box and add the section number. Using the Paragraph Styles panel, format the text box to the Folio-Section style. Place the section number anywhere on the page—I chose to display it near the title and deck. 

Now we can use this spread as a base for the rest of the inside pages.

Step 3

For Pages 4-5, we will create a mirrored layout of what we created on Pages 2-3. 

Select all the elements on Pages 2-3, and press Command-C to Copy. Head over to Pages 4-5 and press Shift-Option-Command-V to Paste in Place. 

The elements will be pasted onto one layer, but it’s best to move the elements to their respective layers. You can do so by selecting an element on the page, heading over to the Layers panel, and dragging the square on the right to another layer.

Using the Selection Tool (V), move the image to the right. Select all the elements on the right side of the page and move them towards the left side.

Let’s start editing by changing up the image. Select the image and press Command-D to Place the All kinds of coffee on spoons image. Using the Direct Selection Tool (A), select the image followed by R to Rotate the image. 

To add a pull-quote, create a text box using the Text Tool (T). While selecting the text box, press Command-B to open the Text Frame Options window. On the window, set the Inset Spacing to 0.375 in on all sides. Click OK. 

Using the Paragraph Styles panel, format the text box with the Pull-quote style. For the quote credit, open the Character panel. Set the Font to Bw Modelica Light Condensed and Size 14 pt. 

Use the Text Tool (T) to add your own copy on Page 4.

To add a pull-quote on the body copy, create a text box with the Text Tool (T). Format the text box on the Character panel, setting the Font to Bw Modelica Bold Condensed, Size 14 pt. 

On the Swatches panel, set the color to Medium. 

On the Text Wrap panel (Window > Text Wrap), select the Wrap around bounding box. Set all the Offset sides to 0.125 in.

Step 4

For Pages 6-7, we will create a resting spread to give the reader a visual break. 

Press Shift-Command, select both of the rectangles on each side at the top of the page, and press Delete. 

On the Layers panel, select the Background layer. Using the Rectangle Tool (M), cover the spread with a rectangle. Use the Swatches panel to set the color to the Dark swatch. Lock the Background layer on the Layers panel and select the Images layer.

Press Command-D to add the Experienced barista making coffee and Hot drink warm up images. Feel free to arrange them as you wish—here I placed both on opposite sides of the spread. 

Copy the pull-quote from Page 5 by pressing Command-C. Paste the element by pressing Command-V on Pages 6-7. Use the Text Tool (T) to edit the quotes. 

Step 5

Pages 8-9 will have a different layout than the rest of the booklet. This interview style spread is a good visual contrast to the rest of the layout. 

Press Shift-Command, select the rectangle on Page 9, and press Delete. 

Using the Rectangle Tool (M), cover the spread with a rectangle and make sure this is on the Background layer. Use the Swatches panel to set the color to the Dark swatch. Lock the layer and select the Images layer. 

Copy (Command-V) and Paste in Place (Shift-Option-Command-V) the title text box from Page 4 onto Page 8. Use the Text Tool (T) to edit the text. Using the Swatches panel, change the color of the text to the Light swatch. 

Create a text box using the Text Tool (T). Head over to the Control bar, and set the Width to 2.9 in and the Height to 5.7 in. 

Using the Text Tool (T), add copy and use the Paragraph Styles to format the text to the Copy style. Select the text and change the color on the Swatches panel to Light. 

Select three words from the beginning of the text box, and head over to the Character panel. Set the Font to Bw Modelica Black Condensed. This is a great way to let the reader know where each interview starts.

Select the Ellipse Tool (L), and click on the document to open the Ellipse option window. Set the Width and Height to 1 in. Click OK. Place the ellipse over the text frame and use the Align panel to Center both elements. 

Using the Text Tool (T), create a small text frame under the ellipse. This will serve as the name/title text. Use the Paragraph Styles to format the text to the Copy style. With the help of the Swatches panel and the Character panel, create your own combination of styles. Don’t forget to show us in the comments below! 

Duplicate the text frame and circle three times by pressing Shift-Option and dragging. Repeat these elements on the opposite page.

Select each circle and press Command-D to Place the following images: A person holding a sign, Portrait of pretty young waitress, Barista cafe, and Attractive business owner. Using the Direct Selection Tool (A), select each image within the ellipse to move and resize. 

Step 6

For Pages 10-11, we will go back to the initial layout. 

Copy (Command-C) and Paste in Place (Shift-Option-Command-V) the title, deck, section number and copy from Page 4 onto Page 10. Use the Text Tool (T) to edit the copy.  

To create a copy that extends to the next page, we will use the threading option. Duplicate the text frame onto Page 11 by pressing Shift-Option and dragging. Delete the text in the new text box. 

Select the text box on Page 10. If you have overflowing text, you will see a red plus symbol on the bottom right. If you don’t have any overflowing text, you’ll see an empty blue box. Click on the red plus symbol or blue box, followed by a click on the empty text box on Page 11. This will allow you to continue the text on the next page or anywhere you are threading the text box. 

Press Command-D to place the Coffee image. Place the image in the bottom left corner of Page 10, and make sure it is bleeding out of the page. Head over to the Text Wrap panel (Window > Text Wrap) and select the Wrap around bounding box button. 

Press Command-D to place the Barista at work image. This time, place the image in the top right corner of Page 11. Make sure it is bleeding out of the page and covering the first inside column of Page 10. Head over to the Text Wrap panel and select the Wrap around bounding box button. Set the Offset to 0.125 in—this will help with the text frame underneath. 

Step 7

Using the Rectangle Tool (M), cover the back page. While selecting the rectangle, press Command-D to Place the Coffee beans image.

Create another rectangle of the same size as above. Head over to the Swatches panel, select the Dark swatch and set the Tint to 60%. 

Copy (Command-C) and Paste (Command-V) the contact information from the front cover.

5. How to Export a File for Printing

Before exporting a file for printing, it’s useful to take a look around all the edges of the design. This is to make sure all the images and vectors bleeding out are touching the bleeds.

Step 1

To export the file, go to File > Export. Name the file Booklet and choose Adobe PDF (Print) from the Format dropdown menu. Click Save. 

Step 2

In the Export Adobe PDF window, set the Adobe PDF Preset to Press Quality. Under Pages, select Export As Pages.

On the left side of the panel, select Marks and Bleeds. Check All Printer’s Marks and Use Document Bleed Settings. Click Export. You will have a ready-to-print PDF file.

2. Setting Up Guides and Master Pages for Your Booklet Design

Step 1

On the Pages panel, double-click on the A-Master pages. Head over to Layout > Create Guides. In the Create Guides option window, set the Rows Number to 5 and Gutter to 0. Set the Columns Number to 8 and the Gutter to 0.1875 in. Under Options, select Fit Guides to: Margins. Click OK.

Repeat this process on the opposite page.

Step 2

On the Layers panel, select the Copy (Front) layer.

Using the Text Tool (T) from the toolbar, create a text box under the bottom left corner margin. Right-click on the text box and select Insert Special Character > Markers > Current Page Number. A letter “A” will represent the page number. On the second line, you can add the title of your booklet. 

Select the text and head over to the Paragraph Styles panel. Format the text with the Folio-page number style. 

Select the text box and press Command-C to Copy and Command-V to Paste. Place this duplicated text box on the opposite page. Press T to activate the formatting tools on the Control panel. Select the paragraph formatting tool and set the text box to Align Right.

Step 3

On the Layers panel, select the Background layer. Using the Rectangle Tool (M), create a small rectangle with a Width of 0.7 in and Height of 0.4 in. Using the Swatches panel, set the color to the Medium swatch. 

Place the rectangle on the left side margin of the left page. Duplicate it by pressing Option and drag. Place the newly duplicated element on the right margin of the right page. This is a great anchor for the title.

Step 4

Head over to the Pages panel, right-click on A-Master and select Apply Master to Pages. Under To Pages, type 2-11. Click OK. These are the pages the A-Master page will be applied to.

3. Creating a Cover of Your Booklet Design

Step 1

On the Layers panel, click on the Background layer. 

Head over to Page 1. Using the Rectangle Tool (M), create a shape on the top portion of the cover.

While selecting the rectangle, press Command-D to Place the Close up of coffee seeds image. Select the image with the Direct Selection Tool (A) and resize the image on the Control bar to 20%.

Create another rectangle of the same size as above. Head over to the Swatches panel, select the Dark swatch and set the Tint to 60%. 

Step 2

Create a rectangle for the bottom portion of the cover with the Rectangle Tool (M). Using the Swatches panel, set the color to the Dark swatch.

Using the Line Tool (\), create a line that goes across the width of the page. On the Swatches panel, set the stroke color to the Light color swatch. On the Control panel, set the Stroke Weight to 5 pt. 

Place the line between the image and the bottom of the cover. 

Step 3

On the Layers panel, lock all the layers and leave the Copy (Front) unlocked. 

Using the Text Tool (T), add a title and a deck to the booklet and place it in the top left corner of the page. 

Open the Character panel (Window > Type & Tables > Character). For the title, set the Font to Bw Modelica Bold Condensed, Size 55 pt, and Leading 50 pt. 

For the deck, set the Font to Bw Modelica Light Condensed and Size 18 pt.

Step 4

Using the Text Tool (T), add a text box to fit the width of the page and place it over the bottom margin. While selecting the text box, press Command-B to open the Text Frame Options window. Under Columns, set the Number to 3. Click OK. 

Add contact information to the text frame. On the Character panel, set the font to Bw Modelica Light Condensed and Size 9 pt. 

4. Creating the Inside Spreads of Your Booklet Design

Step 1

Let’s work on Pages 2-3 of the booklet. On the Layers panel, unlock the Images layer. 

Head over to Page 2 and using the Rectangle Tool (M), create a rectangle that measures 10 in in Width and 11.25 in in Height. This element will go over the gutter of the page. 

Select the rectangle and press Command-D to place the Coffee cup with roasted beans image inside it. Using the Direct Selection Tool (A), move the image to find a good placement. 

To make the page number visible, we need to change the color. Press Shift-Command and click on the page number to unlock it from the Master Page. Using the Swatches panel, change the color of the type to [Paper].

Lock the text frame by pressing Command-L. 

Step 2

On Page 3, add a text box using the Text Tool (T). Place the text box at the very top of the page, and add a title and a deck. Using the Paragraph Styles panel, format the title and the deck with their corresponding styles.

Create a text box using the Text Tool (T) for the bottom portion of the page—this will house the body copy. This text box should take the remaining width of the page. While selecting it, press Command-B to open the Text Frame Options window. Under Columns, set the Number to 2 and the Gutter to 0.1667 in. Click OK.

Add content and use the Paragraph Styles panel, to format it to the Copy style.

On the Layers panel, select the Copy (Back) layer (lock all the other layers if necessary). Using the Text Tool (T), draw a text box and add the section number. Using the Paragraph Styles panel, format the text box to the Folio-Section style. Place the section number anywhere on the page—I chose to display it near the title and deck. 

Now we can use this spread as a base for the rest of the inside pages.

Step 3

For Pages 4-5, we will create a mirrored layout of what we created on Pages 2-3. 

Select all the elements on Pages 2-3, and press Command-C to Copy. Head over to Pages 4-5 and press Shift-Option-Command-V to Paste in Place. 

The elements will be pasted onto one layer, but it’s best to move the elements to their respective layers. You can do so by selecting an element on the page, heading over to the Layers panel, and dragging the square on the right to another layer.

Using the Selection Tool (V), move the image to the right. Select all the elements on the right side of the page and move them towards the left side.

Let’s start editing by changing up the image. Select the image and press Command-D to Place the All kinds of coffee on spoons image. Using the Direct Selection Tool (A), select the image followed by R to Rotate the image. 

To add a pull-quote, create a text box using the Text Tool (T). While selecting the text box, press Command-B to open the Text Frame Options window. On the window, set the Inset Spacing to 0.375 in on all sides. Click OK. 

Using the Paragraph Styles panel, format the text box with the Pull-quote style. For the quote credit, open the Character panel. Set the Font to Bw Modelica Light Condensed and Size 14 pt. 

Use the Text Tool (T) to add your own copy on Page 4.

To add a pull-quote on the body copy, create a text box with the Text Tool (T). Format the text box on the Character panel, setting the Font to Bw Modelica Bold Condensed, Size 14 pt. 

On the Swatches panel, set the color to Medium. 

On the Text Wrap panel (Window > Text Wrap), select the Wrap around bounding box. Set all the Offset sides to 0.125 in.

Step 4

For Pages 6-7, we will create a resting spread to give the reader a visual break. 

Press Shift-Command, select both of the rectangles on each side at the top of the page, and press Delete. 

On the Layers panel, select the Background layer. Using the Rectangle Tool (M), cover the spread with a rectangle. Use the Swatches panel to set the color to the Dark swatch. Lock the Background layer on the Layers panel and select the Images layer.

Press Command-D to add the Experienced barista making coffee and Hot drink warm up images. Feel free to arrange them as you wish—here I placed both on opposite sides of the spread. 

Copy the pull-quote from Page 5 by pressing Command-C. Paste the element by pressing Command-V on Pages 6-7. Use the Text Tool (T) to edit the quotes. 

Step 5

Pages 8-9 will have a different layout than the rest of the booklet. This interview style spread is a good visual contrast to the rest of the layout. 

Press Shift-Command, select the rectangle on Page 9, and press Delete. 

Using the Rectangle Tool (M), cover the spread with a rectangle and make sure this is on the Background layer. Use the Swatches panel to set the color to the Dark swatch. Lock the layer and select the Images layer. 

Copy (Command-V) and Paste in Place (Shift-Option-Command-V) the title text box from Page 4 onto Page 8. Use the Text Tool (T) to edit the text. Using the Swatches panel, change the color of the text to the Light swatch. 

Create a text box using the Text Tool (T). Head over to the Control bar, and set the Width to 2.9 in and the Height to 5.7 in. 

Using the Text Tool (T), add copy and use the Paragraph Styles to format the text to the Copy style. Select the text and change the color on the Swatches panel to Light. 

Select three words from the beginning of the text box, and head over to the Character panel. Set the Font to Bw Modelica Black Condensed. This is a great way to let the reader know where each interview starts.

Select the Ellipse Tool (L), and click on the document to open the Ellipse option window. Set the Width and Height to 1 in. Click OK. Place the ellipse over the text frame and use the Align panel to Center both elements. 

Using the Text Tool (T), create a small text frame under the ellipse. This will serve as the name/title text. Use the Paragraph Styles to format the text to the Copy style. With the help of the Swatches panel and the Character panel, create your own combination of styles. Don’t forget to show us in the comments below! 

Duplicate the text frame and circle three times by pressing Shift-Option and dragging. Repeat these elements on the opposite page.

Select each circle and press Command-D to Place the following images: A person holding a sign, Portrait of pretty young waitress, Barista cafe, and Attractive business owner. Using the Direct Selection Tool (A), select each image within the ellipse to move and resize. 

Step 6

For Pages 10-11, we will go back to the initial layout. 

Copy (Command-C) and Paste in Place (Shift-Option-Command-V) the title, deck, section number and copy from Page 4 onto Page 10. Use the Text Tool (T) to edit the copy.  

To create a copy that extends to the next page, we will use the threading option. Duplicate the text frame onto Page 11 by pressing Shift-Option and dragging. Delete the text in the new text box. 

Select the text box on Page 10. If you have overflowing text, you will see a red plus symbol on the bottom right. If you don’t have any overflowing text, you’ll see an empty blue box. Click on the red plus symbol or blue box, followed by a click on the empty text box on Page 11. This will allow you to continue the text on the next page or anywhere you are threading the text box. 

Press Command-D to place the Coffee image. Place the image in the bottom left corner of Page 10, and make sure it is bleeding out of the page. Head over to the Text Wrap panel (Window > Text Wrap) and select the Wrap around bounding box button. 

Press Command-D to place the Barista at work image. This time, place the image in the top right corner of Page 11. Make sure it is bleeding out of the page and covering the first inside column of Page 10. Head over to the Text Wrap panel and select the Wrap around bounding box button. Set the Offset to 0.125 in—this will help with the text frame underneath. 

Step 7

Using the Rectangle Tool (M), cover the back page. While selecting the rectangle, press Command-D to Place the Coffee beans image.

Create another rectangle of the same size as above. Head over to the Swatches panel, select the Dark swatch and set the Tint to 60%. 

Copy (Command-C) and Paste (Command-V) the contact information from the front cover.

5. How to Export a File for Printing

Before exporting a file for printing, it’s useful to take a look around all the edges of the design. This is to make sure all the images and vectors bleeding out are touching the bleeds.

Step 1

To export the file, go to File > Export. Name the file Booklet and choose Adobe PDF (Print) from the Format dropdown menu. Click Save. 

Step 2

In the Export Adobe PDF window, set the Adobe PDF Preset to Press Quality. Under Pages, select Export As Pages.

On the left side of the panel, select Marks and Bleeds. Check All Printer’s Marks and Use Document Bleed Settings. Click Export. You will have a ready-to-print PDF file.

How to Design a Print Magazine

Anyone who
seriously believes that print is dead is simply not paying attention! In an era
of digital marketing and short attention spans, print is a breath of fresh air
and a pleasant surprise that your audience will appreciate. They’ll appreciate
longer-form content that’s palpable and gives them more in-depth info than a
simple landing page or tweet.

Even though
our deep selection of magazine templates on Envato Market will let
you effortlessly complement your inbound marketing with print advertising, you
still need to know how to design a readable magazine. Here are
some pointers:

1. Take care
   of typography design. You’ll want to pay close attention to both the text size
   and how your typography is set. Magazines aimed at a younger demographic can get away
   with smaller typefaces, yet a print magazine generally tends to offer better
   legibility and readability when you’re using serif fonts.
2. Make your
   content readable and legible. This is a biggie! Without presenting your
   magazine’s articles and other content clearly, you risk losing readers and your
   audience because they’ll get frustrated with a format that’s illegible. To make
   it easy to read, design your magazine text to be frequently broken up by
   attractive and high-quality images. At the same time, ensure that your text is chunked into shorter paragraphs.
3. Do a
   final check before printing. Before you’re ready to print your magazine template,
   ensure that it’s totally perfect. This means going over everything—from the
   text to the images to the cover—with a fine-toothed comb. There’s nothing worse
   than printing your magazine, only to discover a glaring error that needs to be
   corrected.

How to Design a Print Magazine

Anyone who
seriously believes that print is dead is simply not paying attention! In an era
of digital marketing and short attention spans, print is a breath of fresh air
and a pleasant surprise that your audience will appreciate. They’ll appreciate
longer-form content that’s palpable and gives them more in-depth info than a
simple landing page or tweet.

Even though
our deep selection of magazine templates on Envato Market will let
you effortlessly complement your inbound marketing with print advertising, you
still need to know how to design a readable magazine. Here are
some pointers:

1. Take care
   of typography design. You’ll want to pay close attention to both the text size
   and how your typography is set. Magazines aimed at a younger demographic can get away
   with smaller typefaces, yet a print magazine generally tends to offer better
   legibility and readability when you’re using serif fonts.
2. Make your
   content readable and legible. This is a biggie! Without presenting your
   magazine’s articles and other content clearly, you risk losing readers and your
   audience because they’ll get frustrated with a format that’s illegible. To make
   it easy to read, design your magazine text to be frequently broken up by
   attractive and high-quality images. At the same time, ensure that your text is chunked into shorter paragraphs.
3. Do a
   final check before printing. Before you’re ready to print your magazine template,
   ensure that it’s totally perfect. This means going over everything—from the
   text to the images to the cover—with a fine-toothed comb. There’s nothing worse
   than printing your magazine, only to discover a glaring error that needs to be
   corrected.
