Graphic design Gold Coast is our clients biggest challenge
It is really challenging when trying to find out how to make a flyer, so here are some tips to help you get your graphic design Gold Coast completed
If you are going to brief a graphic designer to do your artwork for you, make a simple representation of the desired artwork. So if you are going to brief for a DL flyer, fold an A4 piece of paper in 3, and tear off a third, this is the size of a DL flyer. Then, draw what you want on the piece, and give instructions like this..

Type your content onto an email, or in a word document, and spell check it carefully. This will give your graphic designer a really good idea as to what you want. Do this for the back as well, and you will be well on your way to knowing how to design a flyer.
Remember, this is not easy, people study and practice this for years to get Graphic Design Gold Coast correct.
REMEMBER, LESS IS MORE!
if you are going to be using your flyers for marketing, rather than for information, remember, less is more! Decide on one, primary message, and decide on the sub messages depending on the size of the flyer, so if you are designing a DL flyer, you don’t have as much space as on an A4 flyer, so take this into account when you are preparing your brief. A cluttered flyer is difficult to read.
BE VISUAL WHEN WORKING OUT HOW TO MAKE A FLYER
Most of us really like to see pictures, and will much prefer to look at visually appealing pictures when we see marketing material. Ensure that any images or logo’s that you use are consistent with your corporate marketing material, and really should be excellent quality. Poor pictures will detract from your message.
USE GOOGLE FOR INSPIRATION.
Always a good idea to google “how to make a flyer” and look for inspiration from your compatriots in the Googleverse. This will give you hundreds of ideas as to how to design your own flyer, and you can look at layouts that you find appealing. Once you have found something you like, and would like us to design something similar that you know would work for you, save the image and send it to us with your instructions, to your graphic designer.
Don’t forget that your flyers should have your contact details, where you put them, is up to you, but they should be clear, and easy to read. Also, you should only put on the details that are pertinent, so if you don’t use your fax machine anymore, don’t put your fax number on the piece, it just clutters up the document.
Should you use the back?
This is simple – OF COURSE! When we print, for many types of work, we will print the back in black and white for no extra charge.
Remember, the better the brief, the more you save.
Graphic design Gold Coast is usually charged by the hour, so a brief that says “please design me a happy A4 flyer”, could take hours and hours of time, as “happy” is subjective. Most people have a very good idea as to what they want, and if you send the brief as I have suggested above, we can get this done, usually, in about an hour.
