STEP 2: DESIGN TOOLS

In Visme, there are a lot of design editing options, plus a template you can select as well. I use any of their design elements which are located on the left-hand toolbar. All these design elements are very helpful, but for this “how-to guide,” we are going to be using the basics, and editing some of the text. Once you are done playing with the design. The most important part is the set up of a saddle-stitch booklet.

Information to know your design tools:

  • Layout (Lets you pick another template)
  • Basics (This is where you can find, the style of type and design for type)
  • Graphics ( Clipart, lines and shapes, illustrations)
  • Photos (Stock photos that are royalty free)
  • Data (If you need to add data, there is an all different types of graphics, with spend sheets)
  • Media (add your videos, this is not for booklets)
  • Theme Colors (this help with color complementing each other)
  • My Files (Add your files)
  • Apps (help save your file to another app)

STEP 3: ARRANGING YOUR TEMPLATE

To create a saddle-stitch booklet. It’s important think about the finishing and layout. For this sample, I am going to be setting up a saddle-stitch booklet (FYI: extra information link on saddle-stitch booklets).

The imposition is arsenical. See the example above: to move your pages in the right order. In Visme there are pages shown on the Righthand menu, click on them and drag in the order on the sample I am showing.

Tip For Best results:

  • If the sample above is confusing, I advise to print a sample and fold it to see how the pages will be arranged in the final booklet. Hardcopy proofs are the best visual.
