DIY Programs

Hi. I was wondering if anyone knew if these types of programs can be done yourself? If so, what program do I use and how do I format the page? And what about the cover and back...how do I print on both sides of the programs?

TIA!

The easiest, almost cheating way, would be to buy the gatefold and then print panels on regular cardstock and stick them on. Otherwise, Printmaster has a list of projects where you can make brochures, and they also have a custom paper setting where you can define the size of the page. It looks like it's legal size (8.5 x 14) cardstock with 2 inches off the end and cut in half, for a 4x4 card - is that right?

Anything can be made.

sure, photoshop or printing press software! Someone else mentioned a gate fold style card. If you buy paper long enougn you cane score the folds to make that instead of cutting out pieces and attaching them separately.

Not sure if you've figured this out or not..but I was thinking you could use one really long sheet of paper to print this out and separate the sheet into three sections. for each section you create a new text box and enter in all the information. After you enter the info, go to the 'Format' menu and click 'Text Direction.' You can then change the text so that it's on its side so that when you print the long sheet out, it'll print like the picture you posted but turned 90 degrees counter clockwise..

does that make sense? haha...
