Designing a Gate Fold Obituary in Adobe Photoshop

A lot of people asked me questions about how to make Gate-fold obituaries and about what sort of paper to use to print an obituary. The answer varies for what kind of paper, but I cover the type of paper that I use most often in this video of me designing and printing a Gate Fold Obituary.

A gate fold is exactly what it sounds like, its when a sheet of paper folds in a way as to where its like a double-door that swings open. The result is elegant. You end up with a cover that splits in half, and a 3 panel design on the inside that you can arrange photos and pictures in a very attractive way.

As always, I use Adobe Photoshop to do my designs, and I highly recommend you using it as well. But these kind of designs can be made in other programs, as long as you can make designs in a print size (300dpi/resolution) and you can measure the document to make guides. Just apply this knowledge to your program of choice.

Something I didn't mention in the video that could save you time: When you've made both the front and back, you'll want to save the files together into 1 .pdf, so that when you go to print it will print out as a two sided print. I've covered how to do that here:    • The Easiest Way to Make a Multi-Paged PDF ...
