Creating a print design

InDesign print with folds: 
Start with a page:
  • landscape
  • .25in margins
  • number of pages 2
  • take off facing pages

Once you have the pages:
  • measure how far in until you meet fold
  • for a brochure 3'11/16ths + 3'11/16ths and 3'5/8th
  • click side ruler to make line mark
  • click hold ruler corner drag to line to move the zero mark
  • put line .25in margins on side of folds

To make square shaped:
  • 10in by 10in 
  • no margins
  • Lines at 2 1/2 and 7 1/2 on top and bottom
  • use ellipses tool to make a circle for petals
  • delete half circle using hollow select
  • copy and flip it for all corners
  • use stroke square to fill each with color
  • zoom to corners to join corners to make one picture
