Flyers

It seems the general consensice about flyers is to:
1. Keep it brief- only include the basic information
2. Use graphics- only graphics directly related to the topic at hand
3. Coloring- remind yourself what the flyer is being used for
4. Cluter- don't let pictures overwhelm the print message or vice versa
5. Size- make the most important thing the biggest and everything else smaller

The sources (eHow.com and catalogs.com) noth brought up good points to consider such as don't make your Christmas poster the same "holiday red" that everyone else will because you want yours to stand out. Also, you may think your flyer is informative, but its always good to have a second or third opinion. Ask someone to take a quick glance at your flyer and ask them what message they got from it and whether or not it was convincing.

Flyers are used by anyone who wants to get information out to many people in a quick and hassel free way. Professionals promoting their businesses as well as girl scouts promoting their bake sales can use flyers. Flyers allow much freedom and creativity, but you must use conservation.
