Online Folding Design Tutorial -ps How to Make Three Folders

1. This tutorial is made by photoshopCS5, and other versions are common. Open PS to create a standard 16-opening horizontal document, and set the specific parameters

2. After creating a blank document, select the menu "View -> 3. According to the division of the three folds and the bleeding size, we should create two new reference lines (.3cm and 21.3cm) horizontally and four new reference lines (.3cm, 9.8cm, 19.3cm and 28.8cm) vertically, and then select the menu "View->; Lock reference line "to lock the reference line. If the reference line is not displayed, you can select the menu" View->; Display -> The reference line is

4. Next, we carry out background layout, and the graphic design is varied, and there is no fixed pattern. Generally, the front three pages of a three-fold are page 4, back cover and cover from left to right, and the back three pages are page 1, page 2 and page 3 from left to right. Generally, pages 1, 2 and 3 are all about publicity content, and the design is relatively simple, while the front cover, back cover and page 4 can be. You can also use the cover and back cover design, but this example will use the cover design for page 4, back cover and cover, which can make the picture look more atmospheric. First, design the cover, open the original picture 1, drag it into the document by using the mobile tool to generate layer 1, press Ctrl+T to transform freely, adjust the size and position appropriately

5, then open the original picture 2, and drag it into the document to generate layer 2, and adjust the size and position appropriately. Transform->; Flip horizontally ",then press Ctrl+T for free transformation, and adjust the size and position appropriately

7. Click to select the brush tool, and set the foreground color to be black, the brush size is about 4, the hardness is , and the opacity is 5%

8. Add layer mask to" Copy of Layer 2 ",and use the set brush tool to transition its edge

9. Give Layer 2. Transform->; Flip horizontally ",then press Ctrl+T to make free transformation, adjust the size and position appropriately

11. Add layer mask to Layer 3, and erase the unused edges, so that the layout of the background is basically completed.

12. Open the original picture 3 and drag it into the document to generate the layer 4, adjust the position appropriately

13. Add layer mask to the layer 4, and use a brush to transition the edge part

14. Continue to open the original picture 4, drag it into the document to generate the layer 5, press Ctrl+T to transform freely, and flatten it appropriately. This can form a stereoscopic visual effect

15, set the layer blending mode of layer 5 to "positive overlay"

16, similarly open the original image 5 and drag it into the document to generate layer 6, place layer 6 below layer 5, set its layer blending mode to "bright", press Ctrl+T to adjust the size and position appropriately

17, and click "Straight Text Tool". Layer style ",check" external light "and" inclined plane and relief ",set external light appropriately, with the specific parameters set to

19, then set the font and size appropriately, enter the words" promoting Chinese Wushu "and" showing the spirit of Chinese people "in the lower right corner of the home page, and set the layer style" external light "

2, until the basic design of this cover is completed, and then carry out the back cover design. Set its layer blending mode to "positive overlay", and then put it in the upper right corner

21. Set the font (such as Ye Genyou calligraphy version 2.) and size appropriately, input the words "Tai" and "Ji" respectively, and set the external luminous layer style

22. Then, enter the words "Wudang Mountain in Hubei, China" in the lower left corner of the back cover to set the external luminous layer style. Open the original picture 7, drag it into the generated layer 8, adjust the size and position appropriately

24, click the magic wand tool, and set the tolerance to about 2. Don't check "continuous"

25, and click at many places in the gray position of layer 8 (press Shift to overlay the selection) until all the parts except the text are selected

26, and press Ctrl+Shift+I to select. In this way, you can get the approximate text content

27. Click to select the layer mask of Layer 8, and use a black brush to clean up some edge noises

28. You can copy Layer 8 to generate a "copy of Layer 8", select the seal part, and delete the rest after being deselected

29. Click to select Layer 8, and select the menu "Layer->; Layer style -> Color superposition ",set the superposition color to be black

3, wipe off some variegated colors with a black brush tool, and then carry out color superposition on" Copy of Layer 8 "in the same way, set the superposition color to be red, and also add an external light-emitting style, in short, design freely as needed

. By the time the front of the three-fold in this example is basically finished, there is not much text content for the publicity color page, because there are not many.

To make a folding effect, first copy the picture, select the lower right corner of the rectangular tool frame, fill it with black and white gradient colors, and deform it to form a folding effect. Fill the new layer below with black, deform it, blur it with Gaussian, appropriately reduce the opacity and use it as a shadow, and finally create a new background. I recommend you to use CorelDraw, which comes with a folding function! If you use PS, it's quite troublesome! With CorelDraw, there is a folding function with it! This is difficult to answer, depending on what you want to make and what size. It's simple. As long as you can typeset, how to fold the three-fold pages? What is the order of design?

The folding method of the three-fold pages is: fold the right side first, and cover the left side, that is, the cover is opened to the left. The schematic diagram is as follows:

The design method is as follows:

Step 1: First, we open AI software and create a new document. We must use mm as the unit, and we must use CMYK as the color mode. The bleeding value is set according to printing.

step 2: right-click on the sketchpad to display the ruler, which is ruler.

Step 3: Drag on the ruler and pull out the dividing line, so that it is convenient to design the three-fold page.

Step 4: Use the rectangle tool to draw a rectangle with the same size as the sketchpad as the background and fill it with colors.

Step 5: First, determine the contact information of the three-fold page and set it in the lower left corner.

Step 6: Draw a large rectangle with the rectangle tool, rotate it, and then subtract the unwanted parts with the shape generation tool.

Step 7: Then we set a gradient color to increase the effect of three folds together.

Step 8: Then we add various shapes to enrich the whole picture.

Step 9: Finally, we can finish it by adding some words like propaganda.

Design skills of publicity pages:

1. Publicity leaflets can't just have words but no pictures, and the pictures on the publicity leaflets should account for a relatively large proportion, which should be controlled at 6% to 7%, because when consumers open the leaflets, they pay attention to the pictures, but seldom take into account the words.

2. There should be a good title in the description of the text, in other words, the contents of the fold should attract consumers to read on.

3. Don't design the publicity leaflets with a 1% to 2% discount. Generally, the number of leaflets is 3-4. For a consumer, what he wants to get in the shortest time is the information of a product. If there are too many folds in the design, consumers will have no patience to look at them. At the same time, it also needs to publicize the information of the folding page, and strive to be concise. First, fold the right side and cover the left side, that is, the cover is turned to the left. The schematic diagram is as follows: How to make three folds in ps

1. Determine the size of the fold

Open PS, fill in the size, and add the bleeding position to the filled size. Add 3MM bleeding position on each side. For example, the width is 3CM, the actual filling is 3.6CM, the height is 2CM, and the actual filling is 2.6cm.. The unit should remember that the choice is: centimeter.

2. Determine the resolution of the hinge

The printing resolution of the hinge is 3DPI, the input number is 3, and the selection unit is: pixel/inch, which is the general resolution of printed output.

3. Determine the color mode of the hinge

The color mode of printing is CMYK, not RGB, so choose the CMYK mode when you create a new document at the beginning.

4. Select View → Check (√ ruler) in the PS menu bar

Drag the ruler with the mouse point to the position of 3MM in the upper left corner, then release the mouse, and you will see a blue line. After dragging the ruler to the position of 3MM on the left and upper sides, the blue line will display a square area.

5. Drag out the 3MM ruler from the other three corners in turn.

This is the bleeding line of printing. The contents of words and main pictures should not exceed this bleeding line position, and the parts other than the bleeding line should be cut off during printing.

6. Fix the folding line position of each three-fold page

For example, a 3CM-wide folding page should be made into 3 folds, each of which is 1CM, so we should fix the position of 1CM, as shown in the figure, and the positions of 1CM and 2CM are marked with blue lines. When designing the text and picture content, we should consider that the folding line position will be blocked.
