Flyer planning

  • Suggestions/feedback/general help on Google Groups: link
  • Flyers submitted thusly: Link
  • Isaac's "Flyers" Dropbox containing images of the shop and items in the shop: Link

Need feedback on the best images to use.

Currently looking at matching up images related to the ~20 minute presentations/demos and main all-day activities.

Suggestions more than welcome and greatly encouraged, this flyer should be representative of what we as a whole group want to give as a first impression.

Black and white flyer will be distributed the day of the event, and designed for guests to keep. Flyer will have future calendar, times of Grand Opening event times and other info.

Color flyer will be distributed to hang up on bulletin boards and etc.

Discussion is ongoing about whether or not 8.5" X 11" is a sufficient size for the flyers.

James's WIP color 1

Help me discuss this flyer in the section below this image:

  • Flyer1color.png
  • Smaller future events calendar?
  • More focus on event and KnoxMakers descriptive copy?
  • Bottom tabs with short text about time/date/location, website URL, activities, etc?
  • QR code currently only leads to /about page.
  • Other ideas/feedback about the color flyers that will be distributed and posted on walls/bulleting boards/etc. in preparation of the Grand Opening?

  • Larger than 8.5" X 11"?
  • Need better images.
  • Descriptive copy about Makerspace needs to be formatted better, the bottom line of text is too close to the edge of the box.
  • Future event items need to be bumped up, they are all off-center.

James's WIP b/w 1

Help me discuss this flyer in the section below this image:

  • Flyer1bw.png
  • Considering a new sample with perforation "cut me!" lines with each section focused on each mini-event, more info, etc. This design would be less of a flyer, and more of a functional grid of wallet-sized cards for those that want to hold on to specific future event info. Maybe not. Feedback?
  • If not the above, more information on the back of each flyer about KnoxMakers, each mini-event, all day event, and future events?
  • Fold lines on the back to turn the b/w flyer into origami/paper plane/etc.?
  • QR code currently only leads to /about page.
  • Other ideas/feedback about the b/w "day of the event" flyers we'll be giving guests when they arrive?

  • Larger than 8.5" X 11"?
  • Need better images.
  • Descriptive copy about Makerspace needs to be formatted better, the bottom line of text is too close to the edge of the box.
  • Future event items need to be bumped up, they are all off-center.
