Designing Your Own Brochure in Word Believe it or not, if you have Microsoft Word on your computer, you can create your own brochure or pamphlet by following the simple steps below. However, if you don’t have access to design programs, like Adobe’s Photoshop or Illustrator, or just don’t have the money to hire a graphic designer, you may not know where to begin with your brochure design!
