Fold of the Week: Designing with Triangles

I’ve got something fun for you this week. I’m going to show you three different ways to fold a marketing brochure using an equilateral triangle as the finished shape.

Here’s what’s cool about this week’s big idea:

• Each of the three samples look similar when folded, but each utilizes a different folding technique — Roll, Accordion and Cross.
• All three formats make a different shape when laid out flat, offering lots of creative possibilities.

Have fun with this week's exploration, and think about what other shapes could make interesting brochure designs. Thanks for watching. I'll see you next week.
