10C: Brochure Activity – Duplex Layout

Introduction

You will setup the layout for two different folding duplex (two-sided) brochures. You may choose to use one of these layouts for your 12A brochure project. It can be confusing to transfer a three-dimensional brochure to a flat computer screen. Always create a paper mock-up.
