Here is a sample work that I’ve created of a typical holiday tour guide brochure. It’s a 3-sided brochure layout; front and back. This was done in InDesign and took about 2 days to make.<\/p>\n

I wanted to improve my knowledge of InDesign and decided to use my recent trip to China as the subject for a tour guide brochure.<\/p>\n

All the photos used in the brochure were taken by myself during my trip to China, the image of the map was taken from Wikipedia.<\/p>\n

As it’s a sample work, I decided to focus my time on the layout design of the brochure and didn’t spend much of my time on the written content; hence the use of dummy text.<\/p>\n

I began with creating 3 columns for the text; with a transparent fill background to make it more readable. I then added the panoramic photos and placed it at the bottom of each page which instantly made the design more brochure looking.<\/p>\n

I used a gradient for the upper part the background and several photos set in ‘lighten’ blending mode which added more visual interest and blended the upper and bottom images together.<\/p>\n

The thumbnail photos were placed with a 2mm text wrap which gave it some space between the text and the photos.<\/p>\n

I went for a 3-sided brochure layout but the final design could easily be adapted for a two-page spread layout. I’ve incorporated a 3mm bleed so it’s all setup ready for print.<\/p>\n

I enjoyed making the brochure and I’m pleased with the final result, I hope it has made Zhaoqing an appealing place to visit!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
