InDesign, one of the preferred software programs by commercial printers, can be used to create professional looking, well-designed documents. We offer a number of templates that you can use to create effective printed brochures and posters that promote a Missouri S&T program or event. The templates reflect the Missouri S&T branding guidelines and serve as a starting point for your marketing efforts. If you do not have InDesign installed on your machine, you can purchase the software as part of the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite through information technology. If you would like additional instruction in using the design software, the University of Missouri’s Division of Information Technology is a good resource.
