Leaflet Folds

To begin this study task I researched different folds available and how to construct them.



Half Fold:

To simply told the paper in half creating two sectors.


Tri-fold:

To divide the paper into three equal sections and then fold accordingly. Best used for compact pieces that are easy to read and unfold.



Four panel fold: 

Similar to that of the Tri-fold but split into four sections.


Double Gate fold:

 This fold is created by splitting the paper into four equal sectors, whereby the two outward panels are folded inwards.

Z fold:

The page is separated into three equal sectors whereby one is folded forwards and the other backwards.


After researching the most simplistic folds, I began to construct a one sided leaflet in order to simplistically inform the consumer about different folds available.



 My own booklet using the four panel fold:

Although extremely basic in design I didn't want to over complicate the instructions with over complicated aesthetics. As the leaflet is to purely inform, I also believe that there is no real relevance for that of fabricated design, but rather to purely inform. This design is an insightful minimal manual to that of folds.
