Fold of the Week: Triple Parallel Variations, Part 1

By Trish Witkowski

This week’s episode is part one of a two-part exploration into creative variations of the Triple Parallel fold.

Today, I’m focusing on two variations of the 10-page Parallel and next week we’ll look at two ways to configure the 12-page Parallel. Here’s why this format is important:

Triple Parallel folds can be creative, production friendly, and can support a lot of content.
There are different ways to orient your art and the panels to create different opening experiences without affecting the production cost.

Thanks for watching. Enjoy part one. I’ll see you next week for part two.
