Promo Flyer

Fill-up a Party and Use Flyers

When you set-up for a party, your main goal is to give your guests an unforgettable experience; and full preparation from the color of candles to the invitations are considered and planned out until these details are perfect. But if you are aiming for a jam-packed and an all-night celebration, you have to promote your party just like an event, and the best way is through sending out party flyers with your invites.

Printing flyers, especially through online services, gives the celebrant options on how to uniquely build the exact flyer needed for their party requirements. Also, with the right concept in your head, you can easily incorporate your graphic inputs into ready-made templates specifically structured for a celebrative mood. With a lot of features provided, building a smashing concept or design that works well with these options is needed to not put your printing efforts to waste.

1. Tri-fold Invite Flyer: To save up on time and money, you can combine your party invitations and your promo flyer in one. With the tri-fold option and 4 color printing on both sides, you can provide the inner side as the invitation, and the outer part for the promo design. Try using different background colors for both sides. For example, for a formal invite, you can have maroon for your outer background then dark green for the invite proper. For a more casual and youthful event, one option can be to design the three outer flaps into different party scenes but still blended into one design concept, or design one outer flap as a door; on the second flap, a shadow impression of a dance floor scene.
2. Accordion fold: With four color front and blank back option, put phrases that can cut or extend to four panels. Make each panel have different background and contrasting text colors, you can play around with tropical-colored backgrounds and have primary colors as your text.
3. No Fold, long shape: You can play around with the shape by using custom print sizes for your flyers. Choose a long shape such as a 4.25” x 17” flyer size; this option gives you an opportunity to build a design with a panoramic view. For younger celebrants, a full display of balloons is a suitable design for a young girl. You can also have a bar display with different shot glasses or liquor bottles aligned on the counter, this can fit more for young adults.

Taking advantage of the different features offered at online printing websites can extend your imagination in designing flyers; and if you still need a little push in building a whole concept, various templates on printing websites are provided to fit your purpose and can be edited into your own requirements and taste preferences too.

Want to Become a Graphic Designer?

I have a BS in MKTand I currently work in the Sales & Marketing Dept at a publishing company working on the promos for various publications. I spend a big part of my day coming up with creatives for these pubs (posters, brochures, flyers, etc) in collaboration with our outside vendor (designer).

I've come to the realization a while ago that I would like to become a graphic designer and create brochures, cards, flyers, etc. I enjoy coming up with cool ideas. I love colors! ALthough I dont do the actual design, I pretty much come up with how we want a certain piece to look & feel, as well as coming up with the copy for the piece. I've saved all of the pieces that I work on from the very first page that I sketched out as to how I want something to look up into the final product.

How do I get started in this field? I've signed up for a DreamWeaver class next mo. and have been trying to fully engage myself in anything graphic. Should I get a BA or get a certificate?

photoshop, illustrator and quark xpress are the three big programs you will need to know. take classes that teach you the basics and then just use the programs and use them alot. you will be surprised at not only how proficient you get at them but how much you will teach yourself as well. i wouldnt so much focus on your education as in a BA or such as i would experience and proficiency with the applications. i hire people all the time and i could care less if they have a degree, i want to know that when i need to have work done they can get it done and in a timely manner. hope this helped, if you have any other questions dont hesitate to email me.
