    What's the best program to make one page flyers and trifold brochures... InDesign, Pagemaker, or something else?

    Also, anyone know of any cheap or free template sites for the above?


    Thanks!!

    Personally for anything as simple as that I would use Illustrator. For more complicated brochures with a lot of pages then think about using InDesign or Quark. :)

    photoshop for photo/pixel management, illustrator for added designs such as elements and typefaces then down to indesign or straight through the publishing house for printing. PageMaker is still a good tool, but unfortunately, indesign has taken over all its features.
