# Day-23 — Practical Exercise: Trifold for a Gym

**Time:** 50 minutes (guided) | **Client:** fictional — "IronPulse Fitness"

## Brief
**IronPulse Fitness** (fictional gym) needs a trifold class-schedule brochure.
Feel: bold, energetic, masculine. Colors: black + electric red + white. Content:
3 training programs, weekly class timetable, membership plans, contact.

## Steps

1. **Setup (8 min):** New file, mm, page **303 × 216 mm** (Layout > Page Size).
   Trim rect 297 × 210 (red, centered P). Rulers on (View > Rulers); vertical
   guides at 97 mm and 197 mm from trim's left edge. Label panels on a locked
   Guides layer: INSIDE FLAP / BACK COVER / FRONT COVER.
2. **Outside (18 min):**
   - Full-bleed black background (F11 → C:60 M:50 Y:40 K:100 rich black).
   - FRONT COVER (right panel): bold white "IRONPULSE" 30 pt + "TRAIN. SWEAT.
     REPEAT." 12 pt red (C:0 M:100 Y:100 K:0); import a lawful 300 dpi gym
     photo bleeding off the panel edges (Bitmaps > Resample check).
   - BACK COVER (middle): "Join Today" 14 pt; address/phone/hours 9 pt white;
     red CTA strip: "First Trial Free".
   - INSIDE FLAP (97 mm): "Why IronPulse?" — 3 bullet lines 9 pt.
3. **Inside (14 min):** Insert page 2; three equal panels: "Programs"
   (Strength / Cardio / CrossFit), "Weekly Timetable" (Mon–Sat rows, 8 pt),
   "Membership" (3 plans with prices in fictional PKR). White background, black
   text, red headings.
4. **Audit + export (10 min):** F11 CMYK check on all objects; Bitmaps >
   Resample on the photo; **File > Publish to PDF** → PDF/X preset, bleed on
   → `GDM-D23-exercise.pdf`. Run the 10-point preflight checklist.

## Expected result
2-page (outside + inside) trifold PDF/X with correct panel order, 5 mm fold
clearances, all CMYK, 300 dpi photo, preflight 10/10.

**Stretch goal:** Add page 3 — an A4 portrait letterhead for IronPulse
(black header bar, white logo text, footer contact strip).
