How To Design Your Print Booklets Fast In 5 Easy Steps

Here is a simple how to guide on how to create designs for booklet printing. You can print booklets quickly using just five easy steps. Remember these steps and you should have no trouble when you get a booklet printing task anywhere and at any time.

1. Gather your materials: The first step to booklet printing design is to gather your materials. In most cases you may have to write the content. So prepare the content by typing in all the subjects and topics that you need to discuss on the booklet. It is better to have an outline of the content, with headings and subheadings acting as transitions for each major topic that you are discussing. Type this in a text document so that you can easily “cut” and “paste” it later for the design.

Also, if you want to use some supporting images for the booklet you should also acquire this on the first step. You can use a camera to take the necessary pictures that you want, or you may try to download a few free stock photos or “clip-arts” over the Internet that you may find useful. Save this onto your computer for use later.

2. Acquire or download a booklet template: Afterwards, to make things fast, it is better to choose a booklet template design. This should make the process of booklet printing faster since these templates already have pre-formatted sections where you can just fill in information. There are two choices here. You can either use some of the special document wizards in office applications, or you can download a booklet template that you can use over the Internet.

There only a few booklet wizards out there for you to use. These wizards just ask you a few questions about the booklet and you will fill in the necessary data like text and images as they ask you these questions. Once all the questions are done, your new print booklet design should be finished.

Besides that however, you can also download a few booklet templates that are available on the Internet. The advantage of this is that you can use a wide variety of custom designs. There are a lot of free booklet templates that you can download, or you can also pay for more professional looking color booklet templates if you want to.

3. Insert your data or content: Once you have chosen your method, the next step is to simply insert that data or content of your booklet. Just copy and paste the content using the initial document that we told you to prepare earlier. This applies to text and images. Of course try to adjust the booklet template's design as the content moves the booklet elements around.

4. Review and decorate: After all is done, review the text of your booklets and check for spelling and grammar errors. Also, don't forget to add a few accents to the booklet design as you browse through it. You may want to add more pictures or maybe add a border or two in some sections. Don't be afraid to add a few fine details if you want to.

5. Print them out: Great! After that final review, you should be ready to print out those booklets. If you did the preparations right in terms of the content, you should be finished within a few hours of work. Congratulations!
