Show an event programme the way it will actually look: on a hand holding brochure mockup.
Agencies and print designers tend to get the most out of files like this. Export your artwork at the size the smart object asks for; scaling a small file up is the usual reason print mockups look soft.
Clients sign off faster when they can picture the finished piece, and a flat PDF rarely does that as well as a photo of the brochure.
This is a free file from Mockupful. When you click download you’ll land on their page to grab it.

Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
Mockupful sets the licence, and it can differ from file to file. Many free files allow personal and commercial use, but some are personal-only or ask for credit. Read the terms on the download page before a paid project.
How do I put my artwork on the brochure?
Find the smart object layer (it has a small icon on its thumbnail), double-click it, place your design, then save and close that tab.
Do I need Photoshop?
Yes. This is a PSD mockup built with smart objects, so you edit it in Adobe Photoshop. Any recent CC version works.
Can I show both sides?
It depends on the file. Many print mockups include a front and a back smart object; the preview usually shows whether both sides are visible.
