Booklet & Brochure......

The next lesson, it is about the producing of Booklet & Brochure.

Booklet:
First, we have to set up the page margin. (Page Layout>Margins>Custom Margin>Pages>Book fold)

We will get a book fold style for editing, which we will get 2 pages of content in 1 page of A4 paper when it is printed out.

After the settings are done, we have to choose our content to be presented. After decided on the topic/content we wish to present, we start to search for the related information from books, newsletter, internet & all other media. It will be more attractive, if we can get some colorful pictures/diagrams to be added into our Booklet. Since we can have internet access as our assistance, we can simply copy those pictures/diagram we need from the internet to be inserted into our Booklet.

Brochure:
As for brochure, we have to set up different settings from Booklet.

We need to display our content into horizontal form. (Page Layout>Orientation>Landscape)

We need to make 1 page of A4 paper to become 3 folds. (Page Layout>Columns>three)

Then only, we start to put in our content into the brochure.

There is a small “trick” on editing the brochure. As the 1st column has to be the 2nd page of our content, the last column has to be the 1st page of content. It has to be organized so, so that when we print it out, we can get a 3-fold Brochure with all the contents laid perfectly arranged.
Just the same as the producing of Booklet, we need some tables/diagrams/pictures in our brochure, to make it attractive & interesting.


For both Booklet & Brochure, the main purpose is to present our topics in an effective, attractive & interesting way. Therefore, for both Booklet & Brochure, the contents have to be simple but compact, ideas have to be displayed in such ways that can attract readers.

For this assignment, I have done a topic on Healthy Lifestyle for Booklet, Mutation for brochure. Spent RM 9.80 just for color printing for both Booklet & brochure.

Huh…an expensive assignment.
