kja Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I've just found out that I have to have a double sided brochure/flier thingie designed and ready for print by TOMORROW!! Ack. I have no idea where to even start ... I can't even choose a size: A4 or A5 in 120 gsm glossy or A5 heavier postcard 300! And I suck at getting started on these design things...I'm a better tweaker. AAArrrrgghhhhh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chezzyr Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) OK well my thoughts are if it is material that ever needs to be mailed its better/more economical/easier to fold if on the thinner paper. It of course depends who the audience/market is etc and how the material will be distributed. Edited February 23, 2009 by chezzyr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kja Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 Sorry, I'm a in bit of a dither LOL The main focus will be handing them out at a Bridal Fair thing. I guess any leftovers could be posted out later, but that's not the focus right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chezzyr Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Smaller thinner ones are easier to stick on a fridge LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossumCorner Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 For handouts, A5 is better, and reasonably light-weight, so people can fold/put in pocket or wallet if they aren't hand-bag carriers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocco Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Hope you managed to get it done. You have to love those tight deadlines. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kja Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 It's getting there...it will be by no means perfect, but hopefully it will get the job done. I've gone with A5 size, still haven't decided on 120 glossy or the 300 ... the 120 is easier to fold etc but will it just get lost among the other zillion bits? At least being a bit heavier, people might pause for a moment before chucking it? hell, I don't know, I just realised I left off my LOCATION on the thing so have to try to figure something out in the next really little while!!

rocco Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I would prob go the heavier. What about a matt then a glossy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kja Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 No choice on the glossy/matte thing ... I'm trying to see if they can push through the heavier, but it takes longer for them to do and I don't have time. So we'll see what they can do ... at this stage either/either is going to work coz I gotta have something. A friend gave me a nudge nudge and I revamped the front completely and the back a bit for a much more pleasing, I think, result. I'm happier now, anyway Just waiting for the printer to get back to me with the final details and proofs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubiton Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I'd got with lighter but then I fold up things and the heavier paper has sharp corners when you fold and stick in your pocket then forget its there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
