Title: Help for the C5-25 event
Post by: Karl on 14, July, 2009 - 13:37:38: In September I'm going to start the advertising campaign for the 25th Anniversary event .
http://c5alive.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=273.0

Any budding graphic designers or arty types want to help out with a design for the advertising flyer ?

Nothing too flash, because the design needs to lend itself to being photocopied (to keep costs down).

Something fairly basic,but eye-catching ,that conveys the necessary info.

No payment available, but I could rustle up a free t-shirt if your design is chosen.

Preferred size is "A5"

Here is my design, its in draft form atm ;D
sorry its a bit pixelated and the colours dont match but its the best i can do on paint :D
Maybe someone more tech savvy can neaten it up ;)

Long time no speak. I am here and am good for stickers when you need them.
Here is my design.
(http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh219/min47pgl/Flyer.jpg?t=1247609235)

I know its a bit big and bright, but I do have a plan. I can print these professionally, up to A3 colour.
I can do 500 for £10.00. Not trying to make money, but to cover the cost of inks etc.
I can do this for any other design as well.
Thanks
Mark

Post by: Karl on 15, July, 2009 - 14:17:51: wow, I am impressed guys ! There are some really good efforts there 8)

I'll give it a little while longer, then maybe we could put it to a vote to decide which one to use.

Post by: Karl on 19, July, 2009 - 13:27:14: ...must admit I didn't notice the dates were wrong :o ,so I think I'll play the "I'm on nights and really tired" card ;D ..

Seriously, these are really impressive - perhaps the answer will be to use them all ? Or should we just vote on which one we prefer..

Either way, thanks for making the effort and showing your support for the event. 8)

Post by: minidaz on 20, July, 2009 - 08:13:47: Oops about the date :D

Post by: Retro Andy on 20, July, 2009 - 20:31:29: I thought after posting my first attempt that it would be better to use pictures of adverts along the bottom instead, is it better ? It would still need someone to tidy it up a bit and re-size where needed.

Post by: Karl on 18, October, 2009 - 09:38:43: I've canvassed the opinion of some friends and family (totally unbiased,they dont frequent our website) as to which one we should use...

The one chosen is Matt's 8)

The poster is now on a "Word" document that prints off nicely on a A4 size page.

If anyone wants a copy just send me an email and I'll attach one to a reply.
