Determine what information must be included on your flyer. Create a list to help you organize your information so you can present it in a well-structured manner. Choose graphics that will be appropriate for your flyer and that will draw the public's interest. For example, if your event will benefit the children suffering from a particular illness, a photo of a child with the illness along with her personal story can help to emphasize the importance of the public's support in finding treatments and a cure for the illness. Be certain to have clear written permission to use all photos you include in your flyer unless you are using photos or other works in the public domain.
