Triple-fold Brochure (15 marks)

Please remember that you must have each phase of a product (Investigation, Design, Production) signed off by your regular teacher before you proceed to the next phase of that product.

Outline

You are to create a triple fold brochure to advertise your product. The suggested program in which to do this is MSPublisher as it has templates to provide you with a starting point for correctly laying out the folded areas. You are, however, expected to design your own brochure and not just use one of the available templates.
 

Investigation

Collect at least 3 examples of triple-fold brochures. Make a list of the information contained in the brochure and how it is placed. Can you identify why certain information is placed in certain areas?

 

Design

ON PAPER ...Prepare a layout design to indicate what information you plan to include in your brochure and where it will be placed with careful consideration of how the brochure will be folded and therefore which areas will be viewable at each stage of unfolding.
 

Production

Print your brochure in black and white and check that it folds correctly. The folds are expected to be precise.

Prepare to print your brochure (double-sided) in colour. (The teachers will do this for you on the colour laser printer in the last week.) Fold it correctly. The folds are expected to be precise.

 

Evaluation

Those group members not involved in the production of this brochure should write a report indicating

  • the good features of the brochure
  • what could have been improved

Remember that you need to be critical but also constructive. Try to be particular in your analysis.
