Style this selection as a front page. I mean- fill it with orange and add some gradients. Now the three pages look like this:
Make some heading. The point here is that I want to mix up two colors.
Now get the Pen tool and make a shape that will fit the orange area. Don’t care about the color.
Pick the Type tool and move your mouse above the shape. Notice that the cursor has actually changed. If you will move it to the shape’s border it will have additional line. After clicking you will have a possibility to write text around the shape. Inside the shape cursor will have an additional circle. After clicking your typing boundary will limit to the boundary of shape. So, click inside the shape- that’s the place for ‘about us’ info. It could be shorten or longer- here I will enclose to the simple Lorem ipsum.
The mostly real preview of final print you will get with the zoom value of something like 33%. Have this in mind while you will try to choose the best font size. After the typing of text you can simply hide or delete our shape (actually, you can make just a path instead a shape, but I wanted to show it clearly). You can also justify the whole text to make it fit better to the shape, but then avoid huge spaces between text (You can instead use Justify last left/center/right).
Below text you can place some image, chart, offer, history line or so. It vary and depends mostly on client and your creativity.
Few minutes and our outer part of brochure is ready. Just save it and close for now. Later I will show you how to save this document for print and how to prepare a simple mock-ups.
Step 9 – Pages: 2, 3 and 4
Open up earlier prepared inside.psd file. Here we will create the whole content within one breath. I don’t want pay too much attention to the design and content for it is really, really dependant on client and brochure’s purpose. Thus I won’t describe every little action for it is quite nonsense, just main things and tips. All right, fill all of the documents area with orange color and style it with gradients as before we did with Page 1 and 5. It is also a good idea to add just a bit of noise to the gradients. Thanks to this you will avoid the color bounding.

Fascinating. It seems like most Adobe users would naturally choose InDesign over Photoshop for something like this, since that’s essentially what InDesign is made for. But this is a very thorough tutorial for hardcore Photoshop users!

I’m sure this tutorial is great for beginners, but the title is very confusing. I thought this was about making the mock-ups not the whole brochure and just tell us to download your finished mock-up psd file.

That’s what I also thought. I guess that we won’t find any tutorial on how to make a mock-up template soon. :|
