Creating Professionally Looking Flyers

Creating Professionally Looking Flyers
© morbutoBeing a photographer and Adobe Photoshop expert, a lot of friends ask me to help them create professionally looking cheap flyers for their businesses. Whenever I have some extra time to spend I gladly aid them in implementing their ideas to create professionally designed flyers. The work hours I put into these projects may seem to go unpaid, but I hardly see it that way. That's what friends are for, right? Of course various printing companies will also have a nice flyer template which might be suitable for my friends' ideas, but commonly they prefer my help so that they can distribute uniquely designed flyers that nobody else uses.

The process of creating new flyer designs follows these steps: First of all I ask my "customer" about his idea. What exactly is he attempting to sell? Who is the target audience? Does he already have certain texts or pictures which need to be integrated? The next step is finding an adequate slogan and a fitting picture to attract the target audience's attention. Oftentimes I end up taking a picture with my own camera (photography is my passion) and with my brand-new digital camera I can translate almost any idea into a perfectly suited image. Commonly I request the help of a good friend of mine who happens to be a writer when I work on the words or sentences to add to the flyer. Last but not least I arrange the pictures and text through Photoshop and save the result as a PDF file. Finally, all my friend needs to do is send this PDF-file to a cheap online print company and voila! This entire process only takes me around 2-3 hours and certainly makes my friends appreciate me more!

What about you? Do you also create flyers on your own? If so, please leave your comment and let us know how you do it!
