quick library flyer design

After the exhausting saga of calling my local legislators, I wanted to draft up a quick library flyer design. I’m not looking to print them en mass from another site, so I want to print them on a 11 x 8.5″ sheet of paper.

The Process

  1. I opened up InDesign and started with a 11 x 8.5” size file. I snapped guides to divide it into four even sections.
  2. I looked at my original poster design. I wanted to take the elements of the big poster and condense it into a small flyer.
  3. After looking at the previous poster, I decided I wanted: a headline, short summary, and a qr code with resources.

The Final Flyer Design

Side by Side Comparison

I can’t decide if I need the black outline or not. It might make the flyers easier to cut (or at least, that was the idea).

How do you design flyers? I’m off to finish some homework. Ciao!
