Design Resources/Policies
Further Maintaining our College Brand and Identity.
All the following design elements have been approved by the Marketing Office and the Office of Instruction. Their purpose is to facilitate the design look and feel of your department's printed material. They also serve to unify the Cañada College brand across all departments, while still allowing users some freedom to "design within the lines".
Please ALWAYS refer to the Cañada College Style Guide when in doubt of how to place a logo, what typography to use, or which colors are genuine.

Design Template for Tri-Fold Brochure
A tri-fold brochure made with an 8.5"x11" sheet can still be very impactful, while remaining economical. We recommend always designing with a .125" bleed, and printing with vendors who print to the "bleed" or "edge" of the paper.
This InDesign Template can help get you started when designing a tri-fold brochure. The template is already divided into panels, and has your columns set up already. Please note, the file has been compressed into a ".zip" file. Once the file has been downloaded, double-click the ".zip" file for the uncompressed InDesign file.
