My first graphic design paying job - Halloween flyer

Postby BobbyD963 » Thu Oct 17, 2013 12:48 am

Some girl I met recently is having a Halloween party and asked if I knew anyone that could make a flyer for her costume party, I was all "this guy" (that Jetta commercial is the best ever). Anyways she gave me the info and I put it together in less then 30 minutes and got paid $175...Boom. I didn't even do that great of a job because I only had an hour deadline. I feel like there is too much lettering.

I used photoshop for the graphics and put the flyer together in Microsoft Publisher.

Nice Bobby!

I really want to get into graphics/animation and stuff. I recently started putting myself out there and doing pretty cool side jobs as of late, and it provides several hours of where I can just get my mind off of shit and do something different for a change.

Sweet!

Where do you get your fonts?? There is a few cool ones there I have never seen

I've been doing a lot of flyers lately (for my wife's business, and GDCMMA.com) and having tons of fun with them. Its a challenge, especially when there is a ton of info that needs to be crammed in - how do you not make it look cluttered/still easy to read?

Poster looks great Sheets, especially for only 30 minutes.

The best font website ever is www.flamingtext.com and that's where I get all my fonts including the ones used in this flyer. I like to keep that site hush-hush mainly so when I shoop against my competition (you guys) I might have a slight edge in the font department. I shared the site with Maddwarf when he made a font thread on that other MMA website cough sherdog cough. You guys are good guys and you are privy to good fonts.
