How to Make a Tri-Fold Brochure Template in Photoshop

Final product image
What You’ll Be Creating

In today’s tutorial, we will be creating our very own tri-fold brochure mockup! We will be putting together a tri-fold brochure template in Photoshop perfect for a creative agency or small business. However, you can also use the same steps to create other sizes and styles as well! Just change the colors and images, and you’re good to go. 

What You’ll Learn in This Tri-Fold Brochure Tutorial

  • How to set up a tri-fold brochure sized document
  • How to make a tri-fold brochure template in Photoshop
  • How to create a business tri-fold brochure design
  • How to copy and paste layer styles in Adobe Photoshop 
  • Where to find tri-fold brochure template Photoshop downloads

What You’ll Need

To complete this project, we are using the following resources:

Find more resources on Envato Elements!

1. How Set Up a Tri-Fold Brochure Sized Document

First, we have to set up our document and make sure it’s ready for printing. Let’s look at the specifics.

Step 1

One of the most common tri-fold brochure sizes in Photoshop templates is 8.5 x 11 inches. Though sizes do vary, we will be going with 8.5 x 11 inches today!

You’ll also want to set the Resolution to 300 to ensure a nice crisp and clear printing experience. 

tri-fold brochure size in photoshop template

Step 2

Now, let’s set up our guides, which will help us know where to place what.

Our first set of guides will be our “bleed” guide, as well as our “fold” guides. These will show us where the tri-fold brochure will be folded once printed. 

Turn on the ruler by hitting Control-R, and then right-click > Millimeters.

Click and drag on the ruler to create a guide. Use the left “height” ruler for a vertical guide and the top “length” ruler for a horizontal guide. 

Place four vertical guides at the 3, 102, 201, and 300-millimeter marks. We are creating three 99-millimeter columns. 

tri-fold brochure size and guides

Step 3

Place two horizontal guides at 33 and 213 millimeters. 

blank tri-fold brochure template photoshop

Step 4

Now let’s create our content areas. We want any important content and text to stay within these lines, unless we want the content to reach onto a different panel.

First, place vertical lines at 11, 94, 110, 193, 209, and 292 millimeters. 

blank tri-fold brochure template photoshop

Step 5

Finish the guides by placing two horizontal guides at 11 and 20 millimeters. 

This will leave us with three 83 x 194-millimeter panels! Keep in mind that there are different tri-fold brochure sizes in Photoshop templates. So this number will vary from template to template. 

If you’re making a tri-fold brochure with both a front and back like I am, then go ahead and save two versions of this document to save yourself some time.

You can also save this as a blank tri-fold brochure template for Photoshop and use it over and over again!

2. How to Design a Background for a Tri-Fold Brochure

With our document prepped, let’s lay down our backgrounds. As I mentioned above, I will have two documents in total: one for the front side and one for the back. 

Step 1

On the front side document, create a white rectangle the same size as the canvas, using the Shape tool.  

Add a Pattern Overlay layer effect to the shape, using the black and gray pattern from this pattern pack.

Bring the Opacity of the Pattern Overlay down to 10%, setting the Size to 25%.

 pattern overlay to tri-fold brochure design

Step 2

While still in the front side document, create a 303 x 153-millimeter rectangle towards the top of the canvas. 

Set it to any color. 

top section of tri-fold brochure design

Step 3

Clip a photo of a Blackboard or Chalkboard into the rectangle shape. Enlarge the image so that only the chalkboard texture is showing if needed.  

add chalkboard texture

Step 4

Change to the backside document, and place the same chalkboard texture, filling up the full canvas. 

add chalk board background

Step 5

Place a light gray #e6e7e8 102 x 216-millimeter rectangle on the right-hand side of the “Back” document. This rectangle should line up with your right-most “fold” guide. 

create side panel on back of tri-fold brochure design

Step 6

Switching to the frontside document, place and clip an image of your team above the chalkboard texture. Set the Layer Mode to Overlay. Add a reasonably harsh Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur. 

Group these layers into a group named “Background.” Do the same to the back document’s background layers. 

add image overlay

3. How to Create the Front of a Business Tri-Fold Brochure Design

Let’s focus on each side of the brochure separately so we don’t have to keep switching back and forth. We’ll start with the front.

Step 1

Starting with the right-most panel, extract and place a subject of your choice using your preferred method. 

I will be using this stock image of a  Business Woman Holding a Phone, and I extracted her using the Select Subject tool, which worked great here as we are going for more of a graphic style look!

Next, make your subject greyscale with Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation.   

extract subject

Step 2

Create a pink (#ef5591) to orange (#f26f64) Gradient fill layer. Set it to Style: Linear and Angle: 90, and clip it into the subject. 

add gradeint overlay

Step 3

Use a soft black Brush to mask out the gradient covering the subject’s face and upper body.  

mask gradient

Step 4

Finish up by placing a white version of your logo above the subject. I used this Planet Logo, and I turned it white with a Color Overlay layer effect. 

Group the subject, gradient, and logo, naming the group “Right Panel.”

add white company logo

Step 5

Now, on to the middle panel. Let’s start by creating a row of featured clients, sponsors, or any other logos you may want to feature, depending on your needs!

I used the same Color Overlay layer effect on all logos as I did on the “Design Planet” logo, turning them all white.

Group all of the logos to keep things nice and organized. 

features clients section on tri-fold brochure design

Step 6 

Create an 83.1 x 22.1-millimeter rectangle using the Shape tool—any color. Place it similarly to what you see below.  

create rectangle  shape

Step 7

Add a Gradient Layer Effect to the rectangle in the same pink (#ef5591) to orange (#f26f64) Linear gradient with an Angle: -105.

add gradient layer effect

Step 8

Add icon “10” from the 15 Space and Astronaut Icons pack.

Change the icon to white by copying the Color Overlay layer style from one of the previous logos onto the icon.

You can copy a layer style by holding Alt and then clicking and dragging the style from one layer to another. 

include space icon

Step 9

Add your phone number and a call to action or phrase. For today’s design, I will be using the font Neue Haas Unica!

Use the Light font weight at around 10 pt for the call to action, and the Bold font-weight at approximately 26 pt for the phone number. Change the text size to suit your needs!

Make sure the text is set to Center Text and white.

add phone number

Step 10

Finish the middle panel by adding any more contact information like your address, any other phone numbers, or a website URL. 

I used Neue Haas Unica in Bold at 11 pt in a soft gray #58595b color.

Group your layers, naming it “middle panel.”

add other contact information

Step 11

Let’s finish by designing the left panel! 

Type out the first half of your tagline using Neue Haas Unica in Black at 32 pt in any color.

Copy, drag, and drop the same orange to pink gradient layer style from the phone-number rectangle onto the first half of your tagline. 

add title to front of tri-fold brochure design

Step 12

Type out the second part of your tagline using Neue Haas Unica in Regular at 30 pt in white. Place it directly below the first half of the tagline. 

Both lines of text should be pressed up against the left-most content guide. 

Group the two lines of text, naming the group “tag line.”

add subtitle to tri-fold brochure design

Step 13

Place any additional flavor text below the “tag line” group using Neue Haas Unica in Regular at 11 pt in white. 

Remember, keep all the text in between the two left panel content lines, so they don’t end up in the fold of the brochure!

about us section on tri-fold brochure template

Step 14

Create a second orange to pink gradient rectangle towards the bottom of the left panel. To save time, you can always copy the first smaller rectangle from earlier and then resize it! My rectangle is 83 x 53 millimeters. 

copy past layer styles

Step 15

Add icon “1” from the 15 Space and Astronaut Icons pack, placing it in the top-middle of the rectangle. 

Turn it white like all the other logos and icons. 

add space icons

Step 16

Finally, place some quote Centred Text inside the rectangle. Below, I used Neue Haas Unica in Italic at 11 pt in white.

Group all of your left panel layers, and you are done with the front side!

add pull qoute tri-fold brochure template

4. How to Create the Back of a Business Tri-Fold Brochure Design

Let’s move on to the back of the brochure! We will be using the same fonts, layer styles, and icons for the back of our design as we did the front. 

Try copying and pasting them from one to the other to save some time!

Step 1

First, let’s add some information to the right-side panel.

Create a title labeled “Services” towards the top of the gray rectangle using Neue Haas Unica in Bold at 32 pt.

The color doesn’t matter as we are going to add a Gradient Layer Effect to the text in the same pink (#ef5591) to orange (#f26f64) Linear gradient with an Angle of -105. 

create services title

Step 2

Create an orange and pink gradient rectangle coming from the side of the gray square. My exact size is 94 x 31 millimeters. 

add service sub section

Step 3

Add a brief description of your services using Neue Haas Unica in Regular at 11 pt in white.

Left Align the text. 

write short service intro

Step 4

Now, let’s list our services! 

Start by creating a text box that is 56 millimeters in width. Using Neue Haas Unica in Medium at 17 pt set to hot pink (#EF5591), type out the name of your service. 

create text box

Step 5

In the same text box, type a brief description of the service.

Below I used Neue Haas Unica in Regular at 10.5 pt set to a medium gray (#414142).

title and describe a service

Step 6

Add icons related to the service to the left of the text. Again, I am using the 15 Space and Astronaut Icons pack. 

Copy and paste the same pink to orange gradient from the rectangle onto the icon.

add service icon

Step 7

Repeat this step for all of your services!

Group each service into a group, keeping the text and icon together.

Once done, group the different service groups into one final group named “Services Offered.”

services offered section tri-fold brochure template

Step 8

Finish up the “Services” panel by adding some 1 px medium gray (#414142) lines between the different services using the Line Tool. 

Group all of the layers you just created into a group named “Services.”

add line breaks

Step 9

For the rest of the back side of the brochure, we are going to combine the middle and left panel to create one large panel!

Start by adding a 201 x 52 millimeter pink and orange gradient rectangle towards the bottom-middle of the left canvas. 

create pink orange rectangle

Step 10

Take a copy of your previously extracted subject and place her on the left side of the canvas, aligning the bottom edge of the image with the bottom edge of the gradient rectangle.

Create a pink (#ef5591) to orange (#f26f64) Gradient fill layer. Set it to Style: Linear and Angle: 90 and clip it into the subject. 

Use a soft black Brush to mask out the gradient covering the subject’s face and upper body.  

Group these two layers, naming the group “Model.”

add second subject to tri-fold brochure template

Step 11

Create a second rectangle below the Model group and above the gradient rectangle. 

add banner box

Step 12

The color of the shape doesn’t matter as we are going to clip a background image into it!

I will be using this Wooden Dominoes image. 

clip banner image

Step 13

Adjust the Image > Adjuemnts > Hue/Saturation so that the image is grayscale. Give it a slight blue tint with Image > Adjustments > Color Balance set to +15 blue, -15 red. 

Lastly, up the Contrast to +56 using Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast. 

adjust banner colors on tri-fold brochure template

Step 14

Add all of your company facts onto the gradient rectangle using Neue Haas Unica.

Below, I used Heavy for the “Our Company” title and Medium for the statistics.

Add any extra fun icons or branding, set to white, to fill up any space if you have it!

company statistic section

Step 15

Add a title to the top of the brochure using Neue Haas Unica in Bold Italic. 

Place the same pink to orange gradient onto the text, from the rectangles. 

blank tri-fold brochure template photoshop title

Step 16

Finally, fill the bottom half the brochure with a short “about us” section and a list of results!

For the subtitle, I used Neue Haas Unica in bold at 11 pt set to a hot pink (#EF5591), changing the font to white for the extra text below. 

For the right-side list, I used the same Neue Haas Unica in bold at 11 pt set to white.

add bottom information

Step 17

To finish things off, I added some pink to orange gradient checkmarks to the side of each list item using this UI Icon Set!

Group all of your checkmarks into their own group and then group the “checkmarks” group with the list text, and you are all done!

add check marks

That’s It!

That’s all there is to creating a tri-fold brochure mockup! While it may look like a lot, in reality, it’s just using the same design themes over and over again to keep things readable, minimal, and cohesive! Sticking to one font and only a hand full of colors will not only ensure an attractive design, but it will also save you time.

Remember, you can always copy and paste your layer styles from one layer onto another; there’s no need to apply the same settings over and over again!

  • How to create a fire gradient mesh
  • How to create vector flames in Illustrator

Follow along with us over on our Envato Tuts+ YouTube channel:


1. How to Create a Vector Matchstick

Step 1

Create a new document in the RGB color mode. Take the Rectangle Tool (M) and create a black rectangle. This will be our background. Lock this layer.

draw black rectangle

Step 2

Create a New Layer. Take the Rectangle Tool (M) again and draw a rectangle in the shape of a matchstick. Now fill it with a linear gradient of various shades of brown to convey the light distribution at the edges of the match. Here are the shades I used:

  • #482217
  • #efd195
  • #994521
add brown gradient
create gradient match stick

Step 3

Copy this rectangle and paste it in front with Control-F. Now slightly reduce the height of the rectangle and fill it with a new linear gradient. The shades of brown on this rectangle should be darker than the ones on the bottom rectangle. Here are the values I used:

  • #310901
  • #996148
  • #782803
add another gradient
brown gradient applied

Step 4

Select both rectangles and go to Object > Blend > Make. Then go to Object > Blend > Blend Options and set the Spacing to Specified Steps, 50.

create blend transition
blend two gradients

Step 5

Create another rectangle of the same width as the previous one. Add a Gradient Fill as shown here. The values I used are:

  • #340900
  • #984420
  • #792702
create another gradient
gradient result

Step 6

Set the Opacity to 0%.

set opacity to 0

Step 7

Copy the rectangle and paste it in front (Control-F). Then resize it to make it very thin, and set its Opacity back to 100%.

make the rectangle thinner

Step 8

Select the last two rectangles and go to Object > Blend > Make.

blend the rectangles

2. How to Create a Vector Match Head

Step 1

Take the Ellipse Tool (L) and create a red circle (#e20612) aligned to the horizontal axis of the matchstick.

draw red circle

Step 2

Take the Direct Selection Tool (A) and double-click the point on the left. Hold Shift an drag it to the left. Then take the Pen Tool (P) and add a new anchor point at each intersection of the head and the matchstick.

reshape the circle

Step 3

Hold Alt and click both new anchor points to cut their handles. Then take the Direct Selection Tool (A) and drag the point between them towards the head.

add anchor points

pull the anchor point back

Step 4

Fill the match head with a radial gradient that goes from dark brown to its light shades. Here are the shades I used:

  • #210900
  • #994521
  • #f1ce94
add new gradient
add graient to match head

Step 5

Copy and paste the shape of the head to the back with Control-B. Fill the copy with a solid dark-brown color (#340900) and shift it slightly to the left.

add shadow to match head

Step 6

Take the Pen Tool (P) and create a place where the wood is burnt. Fill these areas with a linear gradient composed of dark shades of brown color. Here are my shades:

  • #492117
  • #240700

Move these two objects below the match head layers.

add brurned wood effect

Step 7

Time to create pores on the match head. Take the Ellipse Tool (L) and draw an ellipse. Take the Eyedropper Tool (I) and hold Shift to pick the color from the area to the right.

add a small ellipse

Step 8

Copy and paste the ellipse in front (Control-F), reduce its size, and fill it with a solid dark brown (the same as the shadow under the match head).

copy the ellipse

Step 9

Use this technique to create more pores on the match head.

create pores in match head

3. How to Create a Vector Match Flame

Step 1

Now I’ll show you how to create the match flame. Lock this layer and create a new one. Drag it under the previous layer. Take the Ellipse Tool (L) and draw a big red circle (#e20612). Using the Direct Selection Tool (A), pull the top anchor point up.

create flame shape

Step 2

Select the shape of the flame, and go to Object > Create Gradient Mesh. Set the number of rows and columns in the dialog box.

create gradient mesh

Step 3

Use the Direct Selection Tool (A) to distort the grid a little. Every flame is different, so you don’t have to copy me directly.

warp the gradient mesh

Step 4

Select the gradient mesh with the Selection Tool (V) and fill it with black. Set its Blend Mode to Screen.

change blend mode to screen

Step 5

Now you can color the flame. Select the grid nodes and apply yellow and red colors to them. Nodes that lie beyond the borders of the gradient mesh should remain black, otherwise we would get the sharp edges of the flame, which looks wrong.

Here are the colors I used for the flame:

  • #fff38d
  • #d14507
add colors to gradient mesh

Step 6

Lock this layer and create a new one on top. Take the Pen Tool (P) and draw a similar shape. Turn it into a Gradient Mesh with 4 Rows and Columns, and add colors to it with the same technique. The colors I used are:

  • #faeda7
  • #d7651e
  • #e78c43
draw fire shape
add gradient mesh
color the flame with gradient mesh

Step 7

Set its Blend Mode to Screen.

change blend mode

Step 8

Now create two more feathers of the flame with the same technique of creating a fire gradient.

create new flame shape
add colors to new flame shape
duplicate the flame
flame finished

4. How to Create Vector Smoke

Step 1

There is no smoke without fire, and vice versa, so let’s add some smoke. Lock the previous layer and create a new one. Take the Rectangle Tool (M) and create a rectangle filled with black. Set its Blend Mode to Screen.

draw black rectangle

Step 2

Keep the rectangle selected, and create a Gradient Mesh with 2 Rows and 3 Columns.

create gradient mesh

Step 3

Make the two bottom points blue (#7ba9ca).

add blue points

Step 4

Now we need to bend the rectangle shape into the shape of a smoke stream. Place the rectangle close to the flame, and then take the Lasso Tool (Q) and select all the nodes of the grid on the right.

select part of the mesh

Step 5

Take the Rotate Tool (R) and set the center rotation at the middle point of the left side. Then rotate the selection to bend the rectangle.

rotate the mesh to bend it

Step 6

Select the right half of the shape now.

select half of the mesh

Step 7

Bend this selection by placing the center of the rotation in this spot:

rotate the mesh again

Step 8

Additionally, you can move individual nodes using the Direct Selection Tool (A) to get more control over the final shape.

bend the mesh

Step 9

Move the smoke layer under all the other layers. Create a few more streams of smoke using the same technique. Feel free to use different shades of blue. You can also hide the flame layers to see the smoke better.

create another streak of smoke

create subtle smoke
create bent smoke
create complex smoke effect
smoke and flame

5. How to Create the Final Composition

Step 1

When working with gradients, it’s easier if an object is placed vertically or horizontally. But this composition looks pretty boring. So now unlock all the layers except the background and rotate the whole burning match for a more interesting composition. At this point, you can also resize the background to fit the composition better.

rotate all layers

Step 2

Copy the background rectangle, select the top layer, and paste it in front (Control-F). Select All (Control-A), and then go to Object > Clipping Mask > Make.

create clipping mask

Conclusion

Having mastered the techniques described in this tutorial, you can create realistic vector flames, lighters, or torches. Who knows, you might want to make a fire! And give it some heat!
