Flyer.jpg

Guys this is my 1st flyer that i am making for a beauty parlour . its very important that i get this right , I am not posting this in the gallery forum , because i have alot of questions to ask regarding this flyer . I have noticed that flyers usually hv a certain level of complexity , so is this flyer good enough (its still incomplete) , i have attached the psd file if you need more info . Please give me yor inputs , i would certainly appreciate if you could tell me of smaller effects that i can use to make this look better . By the way , DIV8 , i have used ur file in this , "The Pattern File" LOL . Thank you .

Regards .

Gautam .
 
I could see you've used the honeycomb.... :thumbsup:


There seems to be a quirk in the upload system. ADMIN isn't here to check this out but eventually he'll be here.

Clicking upload, the system will tell you that the file is not supported. Just click OK, wait for a moment as if the system is uploading then hit Create Post.

90% chance it will be there as an attachment link.


Better still to compact it with ZIP or RAR archiver. The system will readily accept this.
 
Your use of Earth Colors is good.... but its that..... pink thing at the bottom that kinda throws it off.... leave it white with a shadow under it.

In fac,t adding shadows to the 3 images and 30% Seal will make the image pop with a 3d look.....
 
Thank you div ! your helping me stay in my job LOL , BTW , i was expecting a bad review , i need to work on my color combination skills to , as of now just using my instincts . Div8 can you give me your email ID i know personal messages are not allowed , but i'll send it to you and you can try uploading it . :) or any other way i can send it across ? I'll take off the Pink and try adding the shadows . Also , i need to stay up all night and work on this .

Looking at it, the 30% seal isn't centered. And that the left and right images isn't balanced.

You can keep the space on top for the parlor's logo and a headline beneath it.

Add a deeper shade of yellow for the 30% seal. The areas next to it can be reserved for details of the discount if needed.

Retain that shape at the bottom but in white for contact info or parlor addresses.

Other than what I've mentioned, it's good to go.
 
I'll Take your advice and do the centering and alignment , Final submission coming up soon , without the text obviously though .

PM's are allowed in the forum for as long as the recipients know you, have taken part in your threads and/or is willing and have time to help out.

As we take it that you are a budding and working designer, we are willing to help you grow. That's what we've been doing all this while. And I'm sure that those who have taken part in your threads are happy to see that you've taken the advises given and adapted it to suit your own work-style thus enabling you to do the design requirement of the job.


We are all designers here, some as a career and main means of income. As such, we have personal as well as professional work ethics and limitations.

That said, we don't mind giving personal evaluation of one's work or giving in-depth technical PS advice to enable forum members to do the job and maybe one or two design ideas now and then to inspire you. (note emphasis on INSPIRE.... to spark and start off with one's own adapted idea rather than to copy detail by detail as was originally given.)

We can look at your PSD's if requested. We can tinker with it to see how its construction holds up to your design sense and soundness of PS knowledge of techniques. From this, we give our evaluation and whatever helpful advise we may have for you.

But in the end, we expect that it is you and only you who will be doing all the actual work - from inception as a PSD Work in Progress to the finished FINAL ARTWORK - for your use.... be it an actual job or practice run.

As professionals, it's not good form that we do someone's work for them. Anyone here will tell you that even in our early career days, we struggle to learn, hone and perfect our craft. Yes, we do ask advise from people in the know.... but it is us who start and finish the work - on our own accord and efforts.
 
Which is why I said in another thread of yours... having the details beforehand is important and may aid in the design process.....

I don't mean to knock your boss or company you work for but we all live and work in a world governed by details.......
 
I am sorry Div8 , i should't have said it that way . And for me, its a big deal that you even reply to what i post , i guess your more busy than i am . Thank you for all your help . !!

Regards .

Anyways heres the final image , with everything centered , i could't find a better yellow , so i just reduced the opacity , thank you . :)

Nice. Totally glad you got rid of the pink. Now I imagine you have text, the name, address, and phone number, website, etc., and a little "about" info . . . how are you going to include that? Right now I have no idea where to go to get my mud mask at 30% discount! Darn, I could really use one too.
 
Ok, here's my take on some improvements.

I centered the discount badge. I changed its color to a complimentary color which was in the violet range. I did not change the text or the spelling since I did not have the font. I didn't like the reduced opacity, so I ran it back to 100%. I also lowered it so it aligned with the text bubble.

I removed the pink ellipse at the bottom.

I added a drop shadow to the middle Polaroid image to give it some depth/height over the other two.

I'm personally not a huge fan of cropped edges, if this were mine from the beginning, I would not have cropped the image.

I added a bit more noise to the BG.
