Step 1
InDesign by Adobe.Visualize exactly how your flier is going to look. Paper size, graphics and copy are the main factors you need to consider. Plan the message. Is it going to be a flier connected with a certain event, or an "evergreen" flier that provides timeless information?
-
Step 2
A well-produced flier.Write the copy and select the graphics. With copy, remember that less is more. Opt for high resolution graphics that are relevant to your message. If you're creating a flier for a client, obtain a company logo and the font they want to use.
-
Step 3
A poor flier is like money down the drain.Place the graphics and logos, then add the captions and copy. Indicate where readers can obtain additional information by listing a website, phone number or email address.
-
Step 4
Have your fliers printed professionally.Save your work in print PS (Post Script) format, and have the fliers printed professionally. Obtain a sample from the print shop and confirm that the colors are correct, the copy flows smoothly, and there are no errors.
-
Step 5
Get the client to sign off on the sample, or make any changes and have a new sample produced. If you're billing a client directly, make sure to account for the time spent working with both the printer and client.
-
Step 6
Save all files and graphic elements for future reference. You may be hired again to produce a flier for the same client, and may be able to reuse some of the elements, saving time and effort.
