How to Make a Brochure (2023 Guide with Tips & Templates)

With easy access to different tools on the market, anyone can make a brochure these days. But not everyone can design a brochure that stands out, gets noticed, and persuades people to learn more about a product or service. 

Whether you’re a small business owner, a marketer, or simply someone looking to create stunning brochures for a personal project, this guide on how to make a brochure in 2023 is for you. 

You can follow along by creating a free account . Select a template to get started.

How to make a custom brochure

In this guide, you’ll learn easy-to-follow steps to help you create a brochure that will leave a lasting impression on your audience. You’ll also discover design tips relevant for 2023 and professional brochure templates you can edit, download, and print with Piktochart’s free brochure maker .

Let’s get into it! 

Step 1: Identify the purpose of your brochure and know your potential customers

This first step is key to creating a brochure that will hook your target audience’s attention and effectively communicate your message. 

Consider these three important things for this initial step:

Do in-depth research about your audience

Before starting with brochure design, you must know and understand your audience. 

Why? Because you don’t want to waste all your time creating brochures that don’t move the needle for your target readers.

Ask yourself the following questions before getting started with your brochure:

• Who is your target audience?
• What are their interests, preferences, and needs? 
• What kind of language and tone is your audience receptive to? 
• Do they even read brochures? 
• Which areas or venues are they likely to pick or come across your brochure? 
• Are these people receptive to online brochures?

Knowing your audience is crucial in making brochures that resonate with them. For example, if you’re targeting Gen Z readers, use a more casual tone and vibrant colors. On the other hand, if you’re after senior-level executives, a more formal tone and sleek design in your business brochure may be more appropriate.

Define the purpose 

Defining your purpose will help you focus on the key messages you want to highlight in your brochure. Use these questions as guidelines: 

• What do you want to achieve with your brochure? Is it to promote a service? Or introduce customers to a product’s new features?
• Do you want to provide information about your business or organization? Or do you want to invite people to an event? 

Outline your brochure 

Once you clearly understand your audience and purpose, it’s time to outline your brochure.

An outline will help you organize your content, choose the right format, and ensure your content resonates with your audience. Your outline should include the following:

• Sections or topics you want to cover
• Main points you’d like to make
• Any images or graphics you’re planning to include
• A call to action statement (CTA)

With an outline, you’ll have a clear roadmap to follow as you create your brochure copy and design, which takes us to the next step.

Step 2: Write your brochure copy

Compelling copy is key to a brochure that connects with your audience and motivates them to take action.

In terms of content, great brochures should include:

• A clear and concise section that describes the benefits of your product or service and how it can help address your target customer’s pain points
• Information about your company, including your mission statement, values, and history
• Real-life examples or case studies that illustrate how your product or service has helped others. This will show readers how your product or service can benefit them. Customer testimonials or success stories from satisfied customers are also a great way to showcase the value you offer.
• Your company’s primary contact information, including your website, phone number, and relevant social media handles
• Any relevant statistics, awards, or industry recognition differentiates you from competitors.
• A section that addresses common questions or concerns your target audience may have
• A strong call to action that tells readers what action to take next. Your CTA could be to save the date, call now, visit your website, follow you on social media, schedule an appointment, or order today. Be clear and concise with your CTA, and make sure it stands out from the copy (more on this in the next steps below).

Now that you already know what to include, here are a few ideas and best practices to make your own content stand out:

• Break your copy into smaller paragraphs. Large blocks of text can intimidate readers and cause them to lose interest. Breaking up your copy will improve the flow and make the content more engaging for the reader.
• Use active voice. Writing in active voice instead of passive voice makes your copy more engaging and easier to read.
• Address the reader. Use second-person pronouns like ‘you’ to address the reader directly. This helps make your brochure more personal.
• Keep it concise. Be clear and brief when communicating. Share the most important information and avoid unnecessary details.

Step 3: Plan for the visuals and graphic elements

Our brains are hardwired to be more attentive to visuals . For this reason, you can add images and graphics to brochures to make them more engaging and easy to remember. They can also help illustrate your message and break up long texts or paragraphs. 

If possible, incorporate these visuals into your brochure design:

• Logo : Your logo is one of the critical visuals to help build brand recognition with your customers. Highlight it prominently in your design. Use its colors and stunning design elements throughout the brochure for consistency.
• Photos : Avoid free stock images, or use different images than your competitors to stand out. Consider hiring a professional photographer to use your own images or choose high-resolution images from stock photo libraries.
• Custom illustrations : These can be an effective way to convey complex ideas or messages, and they can help your brochure stand out from competitors. Consider working with a professional illustrator or designer to create custom illustrations tailored to your brand and messaging.

Piktochart’s brochure maker also offers access to thousands of icons, a stock image library, custom illustrations, and more to help you create.

Important: As you add your own images and pick visuals for your brochure, use these questions as guidelines:

• Does this image provide value to the reader?
• Is it relevant to the message you’re trying to convey?
• Does it complement the text, or is it just there for decoration?

Step 4: Decide on the brochure fold

You have your brochure copy and visuals sorted out. What’s next?

It’s time to select the format and fold that will work best for your brochure. You can choose from the following popular brochure folds.

Bi-fold brochure format

A bi-fold brochure is best for simple and concise messages or for sharing limited content. It’s also a good option to create a more formal or professional look with a second page. Create your own brochure in bifold format using the template below.

Tri-fold brochure format

The tri-fold brochure format is a popular and versatile fold because the three columns are ideal for presenting more detailed information in a compact format. Use this page orientation in the brochure for menus, event programs, and informational materials. Create your own brochure in a tri-fold format using the template below.

Z-fold brochure format

A Z-fold brochure is like a tri-fold brochure in size, but it has a different way of folding. This attention-grabbing option works well for brochures with a storytelling element on every new page, such as real estate brochures, travel guides, or product catalogs. A Z-fold brochure allows for a natural flow of information, leading the reader from one panel to the next. Create your own brochure in Z-fold format using the template below.

Other unique brochure folds to consider are:

• Window or gate-fold
• Double-gate fold
• Accordion fold
• Double parallel fold
• French fold
• Half-fold (or book fold)

Once you’ve decided, create a mockup of your brochure to see how your copy and own images fit within your preferred format. 

Step 5: Pick a template

After planning your brochure copy, selecting your visuals, and deciding on the format, the next step is to pick a template. You don’t have to create a brochure with a blank canvas or blank document.

With pre-made brochure templates, professional-looking brochures are a few clicks away. Piktochart offers a variety of fully customizable brochure templates with its easy-to-use online brochure maker . Easily add your texts, existing images, and branding elements to your brochure. 

When selecting a template:

• Make sure it fits your brand’s style and messaging. Consider the template’s color scheme, fonts, and overall design to ensure it aligns with your brand identity.
• Look for templates with more space for your logo, contact details, and other essential information.

Step 6: Edit and customize your preferred brochure template

You’re almost there! As you customize your template, use the following formatting techniques to make your brochure stand out:

• Use headers and subheaders to break up the text to make it easier to read.
• Use bullet points, numbered lists, or table properties to highlight key information.
• Add colored text boxes or backgrounds to draw attention to important sections.
• Use consistent formatting throughout the brochure for a cohesive look.
• Use white space to create a clean and uncluttered design.
• Be consistent with your font size.

When editing your custom brochure templates, think about content placement too. Here are some important points to consider: 

• The brochure’s cover or first page should be visually appealing and have a clear message to entice readers to open it.
• The interior panels will have most of your text, so use white space to keep it readable and avoid overwhelming the reader. 
• The back panel is the perfect place to include your contact information and a clear call to action. The fourth panel in sequence becomes the back panel when folded for Z-fold brochures. 

Remember, a template is just a starting point. Get creative and consider using each panel’s space to communicate your message effectively.

Step 7: Print your brochure

Now that you have your stunning brochure as the final product, brochure printing is next in line.

Pro tip : You can print brochures and supplement a small batch of physical brochures with a digital brochure that customers can download (as a PDF or PNG file) on your website.

Choose the right paper based on your budget, deadline, and desired outcomes. The type of paper you choose will affect your brochure’s overall look and feel, as well as its durability and cost.

Use the guidelines below as a starting point: 

• If you have vibrant colors or large photographs, go for a glossy finish for your paper. However, it can be difficult to read under bright light for text-heavy brochures.
• Matte paper is ideal for black-and-white color schemes or high-contrast color pairings. Matte is often perceived as more professional than glossy paper.
• Uncoated paper is versatile, easy to read and write on, and a terrific option for jotting down contact information.
• Recycled paper has a textured finish. It is made from 100% post-consumer recycled paper and is a good choice for businesses prioritizing environmental sustainability.

In addition to paper type and finish for brochure printing, you should also consider the printing method if you want high-quality prints. There are two main options for printing brochures — digital and offset printing. Pick digital printing for smaller print runs and quicker turnaround times, while offset printing is better suited for larger quantities. It also provides higher quality and consistency than digital printing. 

Now, you’re probably wondering how you print both sides of your brochure. Most printers these days have a duplex printer option, allowing you to print on both sides of the paper.

Pro tip: Create your own brochure online with Piktochart’s free brochure maker and download it as a PNG or PDF for high-quality prints. If you prefer to create digital brochures, use the PNG file to share via email or social media.

Say goodbye to generic-looking brochures with customizable brochure templates 

Making a custom brochure doesn’t have to be limited to a few templates you’ve saved on your computer or Google Drive. Piktochart’s custom brochure maker and extensive template gallery of professionally-designed brochure templates are ideal if you’re looking for endless customization options for your next brochure design project.

Scroll down below for examples of free brochure templates. If you need help picking one that matches your needs,  create a free account  to get access to the brochure maker for more templates. 

Trifold brochure

A trifold brochure template is a popular format for brochures that folds into three panels, with each panel measuring the same size. 

This brochure template is a versatile option for showcasing products, services, or events and can be used for various industries.

Such templates are easy to customize to match your brand’s colors and style, making them a great option for any business looking to create an informative and visually appealing marketing visual.

Bifold brochure

A bifold brochure is a single sheet of paper folded in half, creating four panels to help showcase your content. In this bifold brochure template, the front cover is usually the first point of contact with the reader, so it’s important to grab their attention with a striking image or headline. 

On closer look, this brochure template puts the spotlight on dark yet modern-looking colors, which helps highlight the products featured in the brochure. 

Fashion brochure

This fashion and style brochure template can help you showcase the latest trends, styles, and collections if you’re marketing for a fashion brand or style influencer. As you can see, the page setup and layout are clean and modern, focusing on the models wearing the clothing or accessories, along with descriptions and prices of the items. 

Most brochures for fashion also include sections on the brand’s history, inspiration, or philosophy to give customers a deeper understanding of your brand’s values and mission. 

Restaurant brochure

Show off the great dining experience offered by your restaurant with this visually appealing (and mouth-watering!) template. From appetizing food photographs to enticing dish descriptions, you can’t go wrong with such templates if you want to highlight your restaurant’s menu, daily specials, or catering services. 

Two-page brochure

This two-page brochure is perfect for various niches — health and wellness, travel, real estate; you name it. 

In this template, you will see that the brochure highlights healthy lifestyle choices, which are perfect for clinics and wellness centers. 

The brochure’s clean and uncluttered design can be further customized with your preferred colors, texts, and design elements that are aligned with your overall branding. 

College brochure

The college design brochure features a fun and modern layout, perfect for showcasing the benefits and offerings of a college. It includes ample space for your own photos and texts.

Components of a Poster Session

Presentation.

Prior to the poster session, you should prepare and practice a 1-2 minute "elevator pitch" or "lightning talk" about your research project. In preparing for your presentation, think about how much information can reasonably be conveyed in 1-2 minutes. Since your poster already contains a lot of information, your presentation should aim to complement and highlight the information on the poster, not repeat it. Present information that provides context for the information on your poster, while following the organizational structure of the poster. 

One simple approach is to think about a unique experience or insight that adds a human element to your research. What makes your project interesting? How did you become involved in this work to begin with? A brief anecdote may be useful, and can serve as a way to catch people's attention and get them interested in learning more about your research.

In preparing your presentation, it's important to think about your anticipated audience. Are you presenting at a conference likely to be attended by specialists in your field, or are you presenting at a multidisciplinary event that will be attended by people with different backgrounds and levels of expertise? In either case, a good rule of thumb is to minimize your use of jargon or overly technical language, and this is particularly important for events that will draw a more general audience. Try practicing your presentation for a friend who doesn't have any background in your area of research. If they find your presentation difficult to follow, this is a good indicator that you should work on simplifying your language to make the information more accessible. 

Finally, think about what sorts of questions people may have for you. If you are able to practice in front of someone, encourage them to ask you questions about your research. And don't worry if you don't know the answer to someone's question. Thank them for your question, and offer to the follow up with them later after you've had some time to think it over. 

While your presentation is arguably the most important element of a poster presentation, the poster itself is generally what catches people's attention. This portion of the guide discusses the role that your poster plays in presenting your research. For information about formatting and designing your poster, see the Designing Your Poster page . 

The role of the poster is to provide a visual outline of your research project. It should not aim to represent the project in full detail. It may be helpful to think of your poster as a highlight reel of your research project. It is important to strike a balance between including enough information so that the poster is informative, while avoiding including too much information as this can make your poster difficult for people to take in, or create information overload. Aim to strike a balance between text and visuals. The question of what types of visuals are appropriate will depend on the details of your project, but some possibilities are data visualizations (e.g. charts or graphs) or photographs. 

The best approach may be to think of your poster as a visual aid for your presentation. So in preparing your poster, consider what you can cover in your presentation, and how this might be enhanced by visual material that you can include on the poster. What might it be useful to refer to on your poster in the course of giving your presentation? Visuals are especially useful when they can convey information that is difficult to express with text alone. 

The final component of a successful poster presentation is a handout. While handouts are generally not required, they can be beneficial for a number of reasons. First, they provide you with more space with which you can convey additional information, information that may be important to convey, but not quite important enough to include on your poster. Handouts also serve as a way to help attendees remember you (so be sure to include your name and contact information!). 

In most cases you should limit your handout to a single sheet of paper which can contain information on both sides. On one side, consider including an image fo the poster. This will help attendees associate the handout with their interactions with you during the session. Color printing can be expensive, so it's alright to use a black and white image of the poster so long as it's clear and legible. You can always include a URL to a full color image of the poster online. In addition to supplementary information, you can use the handout to list URLs for your website, or any place online where people can learn more about your research.

What Is an Infographic Poster and How To Make One?

By Daleska Pedriquez , Jan 17, 2022

Which is easier to read: a wall of text or an image that uses plenty of white space and visuals to tell a story? The second choice is undoubtedly more attractive.

Infographics are used in digital marketing when you want to share information about your brand with a large audience.

Don’t know how to design a poster? The Venngage Poster Maker makes it easy to create powerful posters without a graphic designer or design experience.

Click to jump ahead:

What is an infographic poster, what are the elements of an infographic digital poster, how can you make an infographic using venngage posters.

Data visualization infographics have given many companies the digital content success they need. Visual storytelling  is a powerful tool, and infographics are at the center of it.

Infographics are data or process-focused. While they do include a storytelling element, infographic posters are focused primarily on telling a story over highlighting quantitative data.

In the example below, you can see how the poster combines the power of graphic design with storytelling.

Imagine if you had to read the above poster without the icons? It would be much more challenging!

You want to create infographics that will make your campaigns more attractive and informative to your audience. What are the essential design elements marketers should include?

Write striking titles for a creative header

Creating a title from scratch can be a challenge. However, a title that evokes an emotional reaction is a proven way to draw attention and pique curiosity.

Take a look at this infographic template. It’s simple, yet engaging. What does it get right?

If this was a paragraph of text, this information might have been ignored by readers. But with the bright and relevant colors, an eye-catching poster background , headers, and intuitive structure, it’s much easier to understand the bite-sized information.

Take note of the header structure. A good header structure will include a title, a subtitle, and a clear information hierarchy. This type of infographic design builds an organic flow for the details.

When designing a poster and writing a title, ask yourself the following questions:

• What triggers people’s emotions?
• What makes people feel positive?
• How can you give people an adrenaline rush?
• What makes people feel happy?

You can find these answers about your target audience from surveys, questionnaires, and analytics.

Once you have those answers, you can structure your design according to the below points:

• Identify the data source, topic or point of view
• Include key points throughout the infographic
• Provide an introduction to the infographic
• Outline detailed sections of information

Avoid overwhelming your design 

Compelling infographics simplify reading, breaking down technical data to make it easy to understand. They also use short sentences, no jargon and simple analogies.

The infographic layout also makes room for knowledge resource text boxes in case more explanation is required. The absence of text walls and technical sentences make infographics much more readable than other types of content.

A good set of design elements makes your data visualization and text stand out and helps ‘relax’ your reader’s eyes and refresh their attention, like in this example.

Adopt an effective color scheme

There are many factors to consider when selecting colors, particularly the type of information in the poster, the intended audience, and the purpose of the poster.

The color scheme in the below poster suits the medical theme. It isn’t overwhelming and the consistent shade throughout the template helps to create a cohesive and comprehensive visual.

Different colors evoke different feelings in people. Colors also impact how people retain and understand information.

The Venngage editor includes a color wheel that can help you determine the combination or palette for your poster.

Use a variety of graphical elements

The infographic templates in this post have included a variety of visuals, including images, icons, colors, and data visualization. The below example also includes some of these elements.

This template’s design might seem simple, but it takes a lot of thought to grab your audience’s attention and make the topic easier to understand.

A graphic designer can design infographics and find ways to slot in these elements. But hiring a designer can be expensive for small businesses and startups.

To create a powerful poster, you can use Venngage’s ready-to-use infographic templates that already have icons, images, and charts, and graphs.

Build a compelling narrative

Creating a narrative involves building a clear story that has a point of view, like in this example.

There are three steps to attain this goal:

• Outline your story – start with a question or statement that you want to answer
• Use a compelling example -company case studies build empathy and emotion, making it easier for audiences to connect with brands
• Create a flow – your posters should include a beginning, middle, and an end for your narrative, just like any other story

These steps are basic and don’t show the actual effort behind creating the narrative, such as establishing the opening and climax.

But, these are the main pathways toward creating a deep narrative, and if you’re already down this road, you’re on the right path, like in this poster.

Deep narratives don’t have to be very long but they need to be meaningful.

Provide infographic resources

Informational boxes provide readers with important background information to better understand the infographic.

These include explainers for complex terminology and concepts. Most successful infographics have resource boxes with charts and illustrations. You can see how this poster does it.

A simple research poster infographic like this wouldn’t need a resource box because it doesn’t have jargon, but it’s easy to add another object to explain a concept.
