For starters keep colours at a minimum. One or two colour variations can work wonders for you. For the two colours you can use shades, one light and another slightly dark, or you can use colours next to each other on the colour wheel (analogous)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want to be a bit different you can use complementary colours opposite each other on the colour wheel, e.g purple and green, blue and orange etc<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Extracting colours from a picture<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
If your flyer design contains pictures you can extract the colours and apply them to the design. This makes colors to blend and be in harmony with each other. You can extract colours from a photo by using the eyedropper tool.<\/p>\n\n\n

You need to know how to align and arrange different elements on your flyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What’s the most important thing you want people to see first? This is called emphasis<\/strong>. You may want to go with this structure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- The Headline <\/strong>must be big and vivid. Use big fonts here.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Subheadings<\/strong> follow headlines. These can be taglines or something you want to capture attention second.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Body <\/strong>includes things like lists or paragraphs<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Footer<\/strong> includes contact information or other less prominent details. They are usually small.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Attention grabbers<\/strong> are elements that you want people to look at other than the headline. They are styled differently from all other elements to make them standout. These can be bold text, italics, call-to-action buttons, funky styles, shapes or colours. An example is the circular price tag on the burger flyer above.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Logos usually appear small in the header or the footer. They must not overpower the design unless they are your main focal point you want people to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Balancing Your Flyer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
How are your elements distributed across your design. Are they symmetrical, asymmetrical, radial or scattered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Symmetrical balance<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Elements are distributed evenly on both sides along an imaginary line of symmetry. Symmetrical designs appear more organised. The line of symmetry can be vertical, horizontal or both. Each mirror side must share similar weight and elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Symmetrical](\"https:\/\/flayaz.co.zw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/centered-design-1024x551.webp\")

Typography<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Fonts or typefaces <\/a>play a crucial role in any design. You need to know the different feelings fonts give to people. For example, this font reflects prestige and class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Classy](\"https:\/\/flayaz.co.zw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/calligraphy-font-1024x551.webp\")
Classy calligraphy font<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThey’re basically 5 groups of fonts; serifs, sans serifs, monospace, calligraphy and handwritten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Serif<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Serifs have extra strokes around their edges, e.g Times New Roman. They are more suitable if you want a classy and prestigious feel to your design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"serif](\"https:\/\/flayaz.co.zw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/font-serif-1024x551.jpg\")
Serif fonts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nSans Serifs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Sans Serifs don’t have extra strokes around the edges. They’re are modern and can suit any design, e.f Arial, Roboto and Montserrat<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"sans](\"https:\/\/flayaz.co.zw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/font-sans-1024x551.jpg\")
Sans serifs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMonospace<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Each glyph\/character in a monospaced font is equal in length. Courier New is a popular monospace font. Monospaces are usually used in computer terminals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Monospace](\"https:\/\/flayaz.co.zw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/font-mono-1024x577.jpg\")
Monospace fonts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nScript<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Script fonts<\/a> are stylised and decorative handwritings, including calligraphy They’re are suited for classy and prestigious outlooks such as wedding or church designs. However, playful script fonts also exist like Pacifico<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"script](\"https:\/\/flayaz.co.zw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/script-fonts-1024x551.webp\")
Script fonts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nHandwritten<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
These fonts, as the name suggests, are written by hand. They are more playful and casual. They’re mostly suited for kids-related designs or something that has a playful feel to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"handwritten](\"https:\/\/flayaz.co.zw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/handwritten-fonts-1024x551.webp\")
Handwritten fonts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nOther font variations and namings exist like Slab and Grunge<\/strong>. These fonts are based on the main ones but with additional styles and variants.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow Many Fonts Should I Use<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Try to keep fonts at a minimum. 2 to 3 fonts per design are enough. Choose a bold typeface mostly suited for the heading and one for other elements on the flyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spacing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You need to know how to utilise space. Leave some space out to make room for breathing and reduce congestion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use appropriate line height for text, typically 1.5. Avoid placing your elements close to the edges. Leave some margin around the page where your elements will not extend. Apply spacing around text boxes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While lots of white\/negative space can be intentional, sometimes more empty spaces can make the design less appealing and boring. Try placing small styles, clip art or patterns <\/strong>such as dots or slanted strokes to bring the flyer to life. This creates rhythm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/flayaz.co.zw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/business-consult.jpg?v=1657875797\")

Make sure your elements are vivid and can be seen. Use contrasting colours to make the design pop, e.g white and any dark colour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When working with pictures you can place a slightly transparent overlay shape on top of an image for the text to standout.<\/p>\n\n\n

Like anything else the shapes you put on your flyer matter. Circular and curved shapes are more playful and modern while angled shapes like squares and triangles have an energetic feel.<\/p>\n\n\n

Images can break or make a flyer, choose wisely. A picture is more than a thousand words and this cannot be further from the truth. Images can liven up a design. However, if poorly taken the flyer can be less attractive. For example, out of focus images, blurred images or poorly lighted images can break a design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Always take nice photos with good focus and lighting. You can use free stock photo libraries like Unsplash and Pexels within Flayaz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Media](\"https:\/\/flayaz.co.zw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/flayaz-media-1024x526.png\")
