DAY 5: DESIGNING FLYERS STUDIO

FLYERS Flyers maybe one of the most fun to create as you can be as CREATIVE and CRAZY at the same time. It is a great outlet for your overflowing desire to design! Often these flyers are handed out on the streets, at your local supermarket, or even posted on a bulletin board with dozens of other flyers competing for the reader's attention. One of the best ways to call attention is to design a very catchy headline. Grab one or two stock images from the Internet. Make the typography as HUGE as possible. The possibilities are endless! There are no standard sizes for flyers. Again, apply the C-R-A-P principles we have learned in Day 1. You can even use MS WORD or POWERPOINT to design a flyer. Althought it is best to use a Desktop publishing software such as Adobe InDesign, MS Publisher, or the upcoming Affinity Publisher. Vector software is also preferred by some. Sample templates are available on the internet (and this book).
