Flyers and Dagorhir Outreach

[Aidan Furey]

this is what i've been doing for Aethenu publications etc.

and propaganda of course!





and my favorite, My very own Dag flyer for the stall



my personal favorite picture of frost

How do they look printed, color wise? Are they cymk or RGB? What are the sizes? What programs did you use?

I think the first flyer is your strongest, design wise.

Does the green text laid over the picture print well?

Do you print these from home or take them somewhere?

What type of paper do you use?

I think the script is appropriate, but script tend to be hard to read at times.


Where else besides bathroom stalhs do you distribute these. This question goes along with the script comment. If you are posting them around on walls and things here are some thing to consider.

1. Your eye instantly looks for the first thing to grab it's attention, usually pictures.

2. Small or unreadable script gets skipped over.

If I were to make changes to the first flyer heres what I would do.

Flip the paper Vertical (it's like the second flyer)
Use the top 1/3 of the paper to view Dagorhir logo. Use ALL of that space for the logo.

In a different color and sized font put "medieval Combat" in empty space infront of www.dagorhir.com.

(when you vary size of font and color the eye moves along it)

At the very bottom put tear pieces with your information. You know at the grocery store boards when someone sells something...they put contact info on paper vertically and then cut into pieces that can be torn off.

Use the space in between top and bottom to promote pictures. Then it become more like a poster, people can still get the info, and you save on printing.


Sorry it's the designer in me....It's just burnt in my head to crit and ask those questions

I could do something with flyers in my freetime... it'd be fun n_n I don't have much of that during graphic arts class right now though, cause my teacher has me doing a special assignment and then I have to finish my magazine cover and develop some film and make a print of a picture... So I'm not going to have free time with photoshop for a while... *sad*

"You don't have a life anyways" first, anyways is never coprrect grammatically, it is "anyway" Second, are you trying to insult potential members? Second, I would avoid anything that goes in the bathroom, most people are going to write it off as a bunch of dumbasses

/some of the colors are a pain on the eyes... As a rule, try to avoid neon green... especially for text.

[Aidan Furey]

you guys are too critical.. We've got 5 new guys ALONE from just our little propaganda Coup

[shovak]

Di'n't is only spelled with one i.

[keyna]

First, I get paid to do this for a living.

I didn't say you couldn't get members, just offering constructive critism for making it even more effective. Thats what I do!

I think dhugal was just pointing out we represent our organization, and should watch how we present ourselves.

[Sir Semi]

yep, thanks Keyna!!

Yeah.... just think how many you could have gotten if they were good ;D

[Aidan Furey]

Well fine, then I just won't do it again...

[Kelabeth]

OH no............ don't go getting all Alric on us okay?

[Sao]

No, you will make more flyers, but now you will make them better!

And I'm critical cause thats how I am and I'm going into the same career path as Keyna n_n

[keyna]

It's fine, the first flyer is good idea.

Always good to have a second or third person proof the text before putting something out there.

I look forward to seeing what you do next.
