Flyer way, Flyer way, Flyer way home

I'm working on a flyer to hang around town, but I'm not really sure what else to put on it. Any suggestions?

I like the fun, simple design.

Only (small) nit might be the darker text at the bottom. You might want to choose a lighter colour for some more contrast. But in print, it may appear easier to read.

Any thought about a small picture of yourself? Hiring a portrait photographer is a very personal experience.

Proofread too, forgot a comma after Children. I like it over all. What paper are you printing this on? I could see it as a good 4x6 postcard leave behind. Though you would have to adjust the size a bit.

Flyers are a great idea, one advantage over business cards is they stand out, are larger, can stay up in an area for any extended amount of time...I like this, goodjob

Maybe its just me, but I thought the top part said "Jina Wann" and not "Tina Wann".

I really like it otherwise!

Now that you say that, I see that too, easy fix though.. Just convert to outlines and stretch it out to make it more like a "T"...

Oh good grief! I never thought of that as looking like a J. No one has ever mentioned it before! Now I see it so clearly. I don't know how to do the outlines thing. :( I'm goin be thinking on this one because that same logo is on EVERYTHING. lovely...

Before sending it for print you might want to warm up the picture of the couple on the right to make it more like the picture of the little girl. People tend to like warm pictures over cold. And for what it's worth I saw Tina not Jina.

Most of the flowers (all except for the 4th and 5th on the bottom) look like they have been cut off on the right petals. Can't tell about the ones in the background though. Will the ones in the background show up in print?

I see children photography, couples photography, and couples photography. If it were me, I'd replace one of the couples pictures with a senior or family.

Another thing I just noticed. Are the flowers transparent? It looks like you can see the lines pass through them.

If your having them printed on a press, you need 1/8" bleed on each side beyond final trim and in CMYK mode.

Thanks for all of the suggestions! I plan on editing tomorrow. :) What does '1/8 bleed' mean?

[adam8080]

The file needs to be 1/8" larger all the way around to allow for the color to run to the complete edge of the page. So if the file is 4x6" then it would now be 4.25x6.25".

And give some extra room inside the bleed in case they don't cut the paper exactly right. Talk to your printer and ask them for the bleed dimensions. There should be the normal bleed amount (the amount extra) and the absolute bleed (the part that will definitely show even if they cut it off center). Those probably aren't the correct terms though.

thanks for the help! Good info to know!
