Free lynda.com Video: Folding Families

2

Did you ever want to produce a folded print project, but you’re the type of person who could barely fold a road map properly (back in the days before mapping apps and GPS)? Well, you can make amazing folded work, even if you’ve got ten thumbs. Just start by checking out the free video on Folding Families in Trish Witkowski’s lynda.com course, Print Production Fundamentals: Folding.

In the video, Trish introduces and demonstrates eight kinds of folds: basics, accordions, gates, maps, parallels, posters, rolls, and specialty folds. Knowing the options (and the correct folding lingo), can help you choose the right style for a project and communicate clearly with clients and production partners. Check it out!

    Trish, Great videos on folding, since getting the folds right is so important!

    When I create templates for our customers, I use Multiple Pages sizes for each panel, when possible, that way the margins for each panel are easy to adjust and the fold marks are automatically added when exporting a PDF as spreads.
