Using a gym flyer as an example, I would like to show how a design for an A4 folding flyer can be created. On the one hand, I will show you how to set up a flyer with a fanfold or zigzag fold and with a wrap fold.

I'll give you tips on how to get free fonts quickly. In the first step, I create the design for a double-sided business card in landscape format. Finally, I'll explain how easy it is to create a portrait version in the same file and how you can even use the same character/paragraph formats. A must for anyone who wants to create a beautiful business card themselves and avoid problems when printing later (keyword: bleed).

- Cleverly position the airplane differently on each page - flipbook

- Final check with Acrobat
A must for anyone who wants to produce bachelor theses/seminar papers professionally and accurately.

Whether you are applying for a traditional profession or a creative job, there are certain rules that must always be adhered to. This video training will focus on these rules and show you a few ways to deviate from the standardized application look and impress with your own, yet not too playful style. The classic style of a cover letter and CV according to DIN 5008 is deliberately neglected here.

Note: The video training presents a professional application design in a minimalist style according to our standards, which can, however, be interpreted differently by recruiters depending on the industry and application.
