First Flyer Needed

[Jennifer]

To anyone who may be out there...I wanted to ask for help creating a flyer. Maybe something to go off of? Anything.

Information:

2nd PCM (audience will know what this is)
Date: August 19th, 2012
Where: Oyster Creek Park
When: 2:30- 4:30

It's basically a meeting for all the members of my service organization. There is going to be food, water balloons, outdoor games, etc. So any summer-y graphics would be amazing.

I had a friend (who is not in the country) make my first PCM flyer. It looked like what is attached. ANY help would be appreciated.

Hi Jennifer, in another post you said you were a novice.
What version of Photoshop do you have, we can help you learn to do this for yourself.

I only use gimp currently :/ My parents won't pay for photoshop! (

Ahh looks nice Sprucemagoo1, loads of energy and BOOM-power !
Ohh hmm I've heard you can do the same with gimp as photoshop, practise makes master ?

I tried to make something too, perhaps my design is a bit too much "beach party"-themed xD

This is perfect!!!! How long did it take you? I wish I could do that...

 

[merlinman]

Ohh, which one are you talking about, but mine really didn't take long, I used alot of the default shapes in photoshop, so I didn't have to make alot of stuff myself !

It took about half an hour - one hour.. Don't know, the most important is that I really enjoy making it haha

Hey you just have to give it a go and mess around with gimp, I can assure you, you'll be able to make this if you have time and patience, but most importantly find it fun to do !

I have that many vector graphics for doing posters it's untrue, so it didn't take me long either. There isn't much an intermediate user of Photoshop cannot do in Gimp. Gimp is a very powerful bit of software, especially as it is free, unless you get really good and are that pleased with it you donate them something.
