What is a Flyer! Flyers are a type of leaflet or postcard, designed to be handed out to people, either by hand, by post, inserted in local newspapers for distribution, left in venues, shops, restaurants, cafes, libraries...you get the idea.

Sizes explained! Take a piece of paper out of your printer. It should be A4. Now fold it in half, that's known as A5 in half again...that's what A6 looks like, now take your A4 again and fold it into three equal parts that's known as DL.

Be clever with it. Ideally, the flyer should have a front side and a back side. The front should focus on the name of your product, service or event. The back should detail any extra information you want to get across and also contact details and any essential small print. Just remember, it's not a competition to see how many words you can fit on a flyer...It should be stylish, targeted towards the people you want to attract and to the point.

What to put on your Flyer! Don't cram your flyer design with text. People won't read it, the sight of all that small print will overwhelm them, and they will throw it straight in the bin.

Design, it really is worth getting your artwork done properly. The images and text should be very high resolution. If not, your flyer may look like something just copied off the internet and made bigger... what should have nice crisp edges, ends up looking square and jagged, we call that 'pixilation' and it can ruin a good flyer.
