Bad Flyer Re-Design I Graphic Design Tutorial

[@purplecraneadventures2309]

So I paused the video where the two flyers were being compared, and I asked my seven month old daughter which one looked more interesting, to my surprise she chose the green flyer😂😂😂😂. Wow you really know your work.

[@4TheCreatives]

Oh how fun!! Thank you for that 😊

[@ly7017]

I’ve been on the fence with getting into graphic design or video editing. Watching your videos pushed me over the edge. A lot of great things to look out for and keep in mind.

[@4TheCreatives]

Yay! Glad you’re taking the plunge ☺️

[@kingkingglassco1591]

I love this tutorial Mrs. Gonzalez More over you didn't take long process in making this flyer Very simple and understanding and easy to design I love your concepts this video was so helpful thanks alot ❤️ once again for giving me free knowledge always

[@4TheCreatives]

So glad to hear

[@kingkingglassco1591]

Longest time Mrs. Gonzalez Am happy to see you today Your teaching really helped me Mrs. Gonzalez I do know how to design flyers now and am also doing smartphone video editing 😊 thanks for everything I really appreciate you ❤️

[@MilesDenverViceral]

from a UX POV: I think its good also to emphasize a little bit more on the CTA "reserve your spot today" on the bottom, so that at a glance it shows the viewer that reserving their spot on that class is important, also for someone who is just passing by the flyer will have a clear glimpse of it, being aware that there is some event he can reserve his spot today, supported by the big header "NOURISH: food for life:". header = CTA. over all I love your work!!

[@4TheCreatives]

Thanks for your feedback! I definitely see your point :)

[@Rebecca236]

This is so interesting! Thanks for sharing. I see so many similarities in the way I work but yet I always worry that my designs are "boring". Thanks for reframing this for me. I wish I had your confidence when making design decisions.

[@4TheCreatives]

If your designs fit the tone of the target audience they should attract, that’s what matters. You can always try experimenting with design styles way different than you’re used to. This has helped me a lot.

Excellent.

[@alianjohnson6035]

interesting, i like these 'makeover' videos, thanks for the tutorial, i feel that the image and sunburst could be rescaled to provide a little more interest and clarity. the tips of the sunburst could overlap the word nourish creating a stronger visual and cognitive link. also currently the image is small and difficult to interpret (we think visually) and so making it larger will appeal to our senses and interpretation/connection in a much more immediate way.

[@FreedSteed]

From designer point of view remade is good. But IMO a lot of the customers will prefer basic version and will find it more attractive )

[@jessicag630]

Aside from the design, font, and contrast, the original background picture seems to be a more appealing choice for a healthy food business.

[@spinogeno8206]

Thank you, please make more videos like this, on logo flyer, brochure, social media posts ..

[@4TheCreatives]

[@JayJay-ki4mi]

Subbed, this was fantastic. I've got a job to do this week and the clients existing branding is terrible. I came to YT to look for inspiration, and discovered this redesign. Good work! You tried Affinity Designer 2? I ended up switching from AI and thus far it's been excellent.

[@4TheCreatives]

So glad you stopped by and that it helped! I haven’t tried the Affinity Suite yet but I plan to as I’ve heard it’s such a good alternative to Adobe and want to learn more so I can teach to others who can’t afford Adobe CC. Best of luck on your design project!

[@susettehorspool2646]

This was an excellent tutorial! It works well for me to have the contrast of a good/bad flyer to learn from. I'm making a flyer right now that is far different from yours. I was assuming it would be the bad flyer but, after watching your video a couple of times, I'm seeing that mine is actually fairly good. Thank you for this. 😄

[@4TheCreatives]

Oh that’s so great it helped you Susette! I’ll do more of these in the future.

[@Lazykitten91]

This was a very helpful video! I like how you redid the typography and hierarchy and added the element at the top. I oddly still prefer the original background and white bar at the bottom, even though your revision follows the company brand better with the repetition of green. Hope you're doing well and looking forward to future videos!

[@4TheCreatives]

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah I thought of the white bar, but felt it was taking away from the Nourish at the top, but maybe next time I will keep the same background when I do a re-design and see how to improve upon the space they provided.

[@ky8designs]

Hi!! I’m an autistic aspiring graphic designer and this is so helpful to watch!! I’m very aware of color palettes and contrasts, too! It’s so important to make the text clear and concise as well as colors that are easy on the eyes! I have a question, though. Is it okay to use a reference when making a flyer or graphic designs?

[@4TheCreatives]

Glad to have you here! And you seem to understand the world of design well! Yes, you can definitely use a flyer for inspiration. You just don't want to copy it exactly.

[@margaretadhiambo7688]

Great, I really love your content

[@4TheCreatives]

[@PauliePauliePaulie2]

I liked the layout and design of yours, but also liked the peaches in the original. That could be easily mixed though, if I was to try a version. Excellent tips though! Thank you for sharing. 😁👍🏽

[@4TheCreatives]

The peaches were good, but I didn't feel there was enough room to work with. The copy would have needed to be way less. I'd love to see your version!

[@richbeauty212]

Yes, I agreed, I too can appreciate the peaches. It would break up some of the greenery, but this was extremely helpful! Love it💟

[@Kephinio]

Another great video! You improved readability by a lot! Great redesign of the flyer. Hierarchy is definitely visible, guiding the readers eyes. Colours are more balanced, making the design more streamlined. Though I'd like to add that the use of space could be a bit better as it looks just a bit condensed in my opinion. Overall a great change! I'm currently studying design and been wondering how I could practice a bit more using the adobe suite. I transitioned to Mac and lack the experience in using macOS. You seem to be quite proficient though. Are there resources you can recommend for learning shortcuts and everything design-related for Mac? Or would you recommend just going along with current projects to learn the shortcuts and behaviour with Mac? Thanks in advance! 😀

[@4TheCreatives]

Thank you! I see your point. Welcome to Apple and great that you’re getting into design! Adobe has some resources with shortcuts for each program but learning as you do projects is definitely the best way. Here’s one for Photoshop: helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/default-keyboard-shortcuts.html Here’s one for InDesign: helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/default-keyboard-shortcuts.html Here is a good tutorial that should help you just with a Mac itself: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5iuZnWBetNrbcU

6:51 is there a faster way to do this? I commonly space things with Photoshop and know you can space things evenly with a click of a button but I can’t see a way to evenly space between different parts without using a spacer object and referencing it (like you seemed to be doing)

[@4TheCreatives]

Yes, there is a faster way, I just always like to do it manually because I am weird...haha. You can see at the top Options Bar under "Distribute".

[@OfficialDJTazer]

@@4TheCreatives​​⁠​⁠​⁠distribute is only good if you want it to be spaced evenly between a certain area. It would be good to be able to dictate the spacing and have that duplicated, or better yet have a space easily calculated between 2 parts, that you can then use to duplicate with the ‘Spacing Duplicator’ #FutureFeature

@@gdcuaer4076 The flyer is completely off brand for Whole Foods and the image makes no sense either. Sure peaches are nice looking, but it has nothing to do with "cooking" in the sense the flyer's is talking about. Just because something looks good to the eye, doesn't mean is good design.
