Simple Style! Surprise Waterfall Brochures: 60-Second Fold of the Week
You’ll be pleasantly surprised with this high impact design tweak to a Fold of the Week favorite — the Wrapped Accordion.
To demonstrate, I've got two real-world samples from the archive that feature creative ways to use this mail-friendly format.
What’s great about Fold of the Week #566:
- This format can self-mail, or can easily insert into an envelope. You can also choose your panel count.
- Surprising reveal of stylish, angled panels when opened.
- Lots of opportunities to make it your own with very simple design adjustments.
I think you’ll be inspired by the designs from PLAY Creative and Suttle-Straus. I hope you enjoy the episode.
