Promotional flyer task

What is it for? Who is it for?
How will you engage recipients?
What is the heirarchy of text?
How important is the content?

The content of the meeting we are advertising is the most important content
This is followed by the whereabouts and time

cmd + e = Import
cmd + alt + shift + f = Scale picture to box
cmd + shift = Re-size and keep to scale







Tone of voice - Immediate
Who are you aiming to attract?
Fundamentally thinking about layout and organisation
It is not about having a style of your own - What is its purpose?

Logos

Logos need to be visually similar - Not all the same height
Your eyes are not drawn to them immediately
Black frame neutralises the space - geometric form
