But seriously.....this will be the only thing people see of your business.....get the bloody thing right, doesn't matter how long it takes. And that includes punctuation, spelling, layout and all sorts...... I think its there with the above changes personally, but thats just me. Id spend the £40 on a session if it were me. GOOD LUCK

Massively improved from the first draft thanx to comments from others.
Don't use more than one font or family if fonts.
Don't use the word "bespoke" - not really needed.

Flyers need to be designed to suit the circumstances and purpose.

If this is a casual flyer to attract business - the sort you'll leave in wedding venues - there's probably too much text. You need to demonstrate flair and vision - to get that initial "bloody hell they look good" reaction. So I'd say less text and more flair.

If its a brochure to explain prices etc then that's another issue. Probably not enuff room if you keep all of the pictures.

How's your web site? Needs to continue the look and feel of the flyer.

Hope this is helpful. Sent in the spirit of support.

I know where you're coming from but in this case I'm going to disagree.

I've assumed this flyer is a 'catch-all' or should be so it needs those words.

If we were talking 'wow' photography (and no offence intended Ricoh!!) I'd agree, the work would tell the story but in the nicest way this is good, competent work but not 'wow'.

Ah.

Facts do have a tendency to get in the way don't they LMAO!

But hey, a studio is a studio, don't knock it. Let the punters decide cos once they are there the jobs nearly done isn't it. Don't be putting them off before you start!

no offence taken, i only really do portrait and wedding work, cant really capture much wow with that unless the person in front of the camera wants to do a bit of work aswell, and with portraits they mainly just stand still with that fixed smile

and weddings they just want to get the ceremony over with then go get pi$$ed lol

exactly but its about playing to your strengths isn't it.

What was the purpose of this flyer? Is it general or just for dropping at weddings?

Worth leafleting a few streets and seeing what happens.

Thats what the flyer is mainly for, also have been given permission to leave some in a few churches and the registry office

Sorry to butt in late, but I would either 'centre' or 'justify' your text at the top! just to give it a bit more symmetrical look

lacroupade · 04-02-2011, 13:46

I'd buy that

Print the little ba5tard before you get any more changes.

Did you dump the infra-red idea? Just thought it supported the digital manipulation offering...
