Specifications

Booklet

Outside Cover:
Flat size is 26.375 wide by 8.5″ tall
Folded size is 11″ wide by 8.5″ tall

Inside Pages:

Flat size is 21.75″ wide by 8.5″ tall
Fold size is 10.875″ wide by 8.5″ tall

Students will design an 8 page booklet with folded cover flap

Included in the templates to download one template for the outside cover of the booklet and one template for the inside 4 pages. These are set up separately because the inside pages are slightly smaller than the outside pages to accommodate the flap and the fold.

You may want to design your booklet together and then place finished PDFs onto the template provided for printing. You can work in what way works best for you. The final submission must use the template in order to get the page size and folds correct.

Sleeve

Students will design one sleeve to accompany their booklet

Flat size is: 23″ wide by 9.5″ tall
Finished size folds to: 11.5” wide x 9.5” tall

The back side of the sleeve also includes a diecut space for a business card that can be inserted. (You are not required to add a business card to your submission, we are not printing those as part of this project.)

*Don’t forget to remove the dieline and any other template text information from your final file before you submit it to us!

Project Goal

The overall goal of this year’s project is to provide students with the opportunity to create a professionally printed self-promotion booklet. This project is to be used as an educational tool for students to develop their personal style, while mastering many of the skills needed to print a cohesive piece. The students’ finished pieces will feature one 8-page saddle stitched booklet with a fold-out cover and a die-cut sleeve to hold the booklet.
