How to Create a Brochure In Publisher

How to Create a Brochure In PowerPoint

Use the rule of thirds. The rule of thirds says that humans like the look of things when they're divided into three parts. Brochures are often already divided into three parts vertically, but you can also divide them into three horizontally too. Try to have text or pictures that separates a few of the pages into three parts.

Keep the text readable. Don't use text that is really small and don't use lots of different fonts. Two, maybe three fonts should be used at most. The print should be easily readable, often 10 point or larger.

Streamline the information. Think really hard about what information you want to include and where it should be located. The information should be laid out in a way that makes sense and you should only include information that is absolutely necessary. For example, don't spend two pages covering athletics and only one talking about academic programs and tuition.

Keep it simple. The design should be as simple as possible. Don't use any more text or images than you absolutely have to. Don't use patterned backdrops or anything that makes the brochure look busy. A clean, modern look is key.

Editing the final product Make sure that you have… checked your spelling. used capital letters appropriately. used punctuation at the end of every sentence. checked to make sure that all sentences are complete sentences.
