How to Create a Flyer from Scratch in Google Slides

[@JimShankle]

This is very helpful advice - step-by-step - watching Joshua as I prepared my own flyer. I've never done one and have no graphics training yet ended up with results that exceeded my team's (and my own) expectations. Using Google Slides they could course correct me along the way before I got too far from what they wanted. A big plus is Joshua's presentation abilities.Very execution-oriented. 5* for content and presentation.

[@JoshuaPomeroy]

Thanks very much for your comment and for watching. I'm so glad this was of help to you.

[@alejandrasj1923]

Very nice video Joshua!

[@alexiskeys9985]

Very great tutorial!! Easy to follow along.

[@nachostarzz7307]

Wow. I’m not very much into any of that stuff but the flyer is so cool I would definitely go if it were real.

[@albdim1]

Fantastic video!

[@mjbrown9699]

I would love to know how to make the gradients or where to get them as well! It is my first time watching a tutorial and it was awesome! Thank you!

[@JoshuaPomeroy]

Thanks very much for the comment and for watching. Stay tuned for a video on making gradients!

[@Scrxptx]

thank you. i used it for something other then a flyer but this helped

[@JoshuaPomeroy]

Great! Thanks for the comment and thank you for watching.

[@Scrxptx]

@@JoshuaPomeroy i was creating a book for my science project and points were given for 'creativity', so i used this to make my own stuff :)

[@nithishs3044]

very nice to understand thank you☺

[@funnycatsandpetsvideos]

Thankyou Josh.

[@gabeque6971]

AWESOME !!!! Exactly what I was looking for

[@JoshuaPomeroy]

Great! Glad it helped. Thanks for watching!

[@RobertBlakely-TheBlakester]

Loved the tutorial is slides set up similar to word that you could send a link to the template for other users to update with their own info?

[@BeanieBots]

I'm new to all of this... why do you do it in Google Slides vs Google Drawings? Are the menu options different? Thank you

[@wonderstabernaclechurchuta5496]

Thanks so much great work

[@solomonhallX]

Great video! what do you use for your cutouts and transparent images? can it be accomplished in Google

[@liv_vlogs1563]

Introduction To Your Potential I search removebg and that’s what I use

[@HeatherSchurr]

Hi, I would love to use the transparent png's you showed, if you wouldn't mind sharing! Great video!

[@candicesorensen7398]

Thanks for amazing tutorial. I am very interested in the assets

[@marcusomariprp2006]

...what a life saver! #thankyou

[@theamazingarthur]

EXCELLENT! Thank you.

[@cisimean4327]

Great video! I was wondering how I could get rid of the stuff that you did at 1:33

[@avanzador77]

I enjoy watching your videos they are very helpful, thank you. A question: in which of the two platforms Google slides or Google drawings is better for making a flyer?

[@JoshuaPomeroy]

+German Tovar I would probably use Google Slides because I can add a background in the master slides section and I could have a front and a back if I was doing a double sided flyer. I really use Google drawings for designs that I will need to export with transparency.

[@JoshuaPomeroy]

Here's how I choose which platform to use: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaCrhYKKfpmjec0&lc=Ugzd1mJAuFL7cC18Wdx4AaABAg

[@rathnapower]

Many Thanks

[@gordonmcalpine2721]

Another awesome video. Nice to see that you're rocking a Chromebook and you didn't even mention it. You should maybe stick Chromebook into the title and get some more views. I have to thank you because I went fully Gdocs 2 or 3 years ago and I copied across a Spanish booklet I had created in Word and spent ages recreating it in Docs. All was well until I tried to print it and found that the drawings were terrible quality. I tried to work around it by exporting as high resolution images to replace the drawings. I was very frustrated and close to giving up when I found your video explaining the problem and providing the solution "Slides". It never occurred to me to use it as I don't make presentations. I think this video doesn't get the attention it deserves because people are not searching for how to do X in Slides but how to create a flyer in GSuite or on a Chromebook might do well.

[@JoshuaPomeroy]

Thanks very much for the feedback and for watch it!

[@yva1118yva]

that;s exactly what happened to me: gDocs, gDocs, gDocs struggling... had no idea this was anything but media slidey presentations. hallelujah!

[@jimwright4615]

I got stuck near the begining, when you say to pull down the slide menu and click "master slide.' "Mater slide" option odes not appear on my MacBook air... What am I doping wrong? Thank you.

[@nettik1288]

This is so useful everyone should use this lol

[@lissadee]

Hi I'd love to get some of your PNG's if possible. Thanks for the informative and really great video!

[@sarahlawlor2310]

Hi this was so helpful and what a great clear teacher you are. I would be interested in the shadow gradients if you are willing to share. Thanks, Sarah

I would love to know how to make the gradients or where to get them! That's a great trick!

Thanks for the comment. I'll do a video on this soon. Thanks for watching!

Great tutoril. Found you by accident but the best accident I have ever had. How can I get copies of the png's that you reffered to?

[@nashforcash]

u rock, thanks

[@JoshuaPomeroy]

Thank you!

[@VeronicaMartinez-bn4uw]

What did you do at 2:46? How did you the page slide smaller and picture bigger? I've been trying to figure it out but I can't. Please help :(

[@armandocruz4912]

This is very helpful! Can you share the gradient PNG's? thank you

Hello, I need to create a flyer for a Zoom conference. Is it possible I can do something like that in Google Doc?

[@JoshuaPomeroy]

Yes

[@amandiecampbell407]

I am looking to make my own cut out images. What applications are you using?

[@JoshuaPomeroy]

I used Gravit Designer for the images in this video, but otherwise I now use Affinity Photo or Photoshop. You could also use Krita or getpaint.net for free.

[@amandiecampbell407]

@@JoshuaPomeroy thank you!

[@InkArt77]

Thanks for the video! I found it very helpful. Could I have the gradient assets?

[@tirthb]

Thanks, Josh. This is so helpful. I did not know Google slides can be so powerful. Can you share me the gradient assets?

[@kimballchristensen360]

great video 4 yrs later wondering how i can get those gradient assets?

[@obiettalangley8726]

What site did you get the astronaut from. What sites are the best for pictures.

[@myrnacarolinaguerramartine7232]

I love your videos, and I would like for you to make one where we can make e flyers on either google slides or drawings where the backgrounds are gifs and maybe some gifs are used on it and we could save and send through whatsapp. I have been searching everywhere and can't seem to find how to do it. thankyou!

[@JoshuaPomeroy]

Great suggestion! Thanks for watching and for your comment. I'll look into it and see what I can do.

[@kwyd316]

thx

[@abethebabe88]

Is there a way to get the gradients in different colors? For example, if I wanted it to fade to white or some lighter color?

[@abethebabe88]

Actually never mind, I figured it out. Thanks for posting a this video!!

[@JoshuaPomeroy]

Not yet. That would be a great feature to add.

[@sinahi98]

It doesn’t even give me that option on my page setup only top bottom left and right help

[@jennbrockman]

Hi Joshua, I appreciate these video so much. How do I find out what my pdf's DPI is when I print it?

[@JoshuaPomeroy]

Technically it not possible to do this for an entire PDF file, because only the raster images within a PDF have a specific dpi or resolution. A standard 8.5x11 paper size at 300 DPI would be 2400 x 3000 px. So, I would just make sure you use the highest resolution images you can find when adding them to your document. Pexels.com and usplash.com have some great high-res photos

[@fredrickndeve]

I’m not sure how you made the picture fill out the whole layout. Please help

[@JoshuaPomeroy]

Click and drag the corner of the picture until it snaps to the borders of the document. Then, you can double-click and crop it to the dimensions of your canvas.

[@priscillayoungyichoi3950]

This is very helpful for my project. but How can I edit my flyer? after print, I cannot edit it.

[@JoshuaPomeroy]

You'll have to do all your designing and editing before you print.

[@marshallseisl110]

im going to sub to him

[@bnu3499]

does it come out in black and white when printed or does it come with color

[@JoshuaPomeroy]

That will depend on your printer settings. Make sure you don't have grayscale selected and it should be in color, assuming you have a color printer.

[@LivingasCloud]

What if your pictures wont upload via URL, is it okay to use any other format?

[@JoshuaPomeroy]

Sure thing. You can upload from your computer or choose a photo that you might already have in Google photos or Google Drive.

[@jordanross7964]

i love your videos but sometimes you dont tell us what you do which causes confusion

[@JoshuaPomeroy]

I hear you. Thanks so much for the feedback. There were a few times I sped up the video when I was working though the layout. Maybe I should have narrated all the way through it. Good notes for future videos. Thanks!

[@isaactamplin8905]

exactly what i was going to say if i didn't see already. like what are you clicking in detail. I have no experience in slide. And I need to make a flyer for the business I work for

[@bridgetteharrison6417]

Is there a way to adjust the speed the speaker. He is speaking to fast.

[@JoshuaPomeroy]

If you click on the gear icon you can choose playback speed and then make it slower.

[@ernestoramirez952]

How do you put the slide blank

[@connorzeznanski1993]

How do u do the cutout design?

[@JoshuaPomeroy]

I did the cutout in gravit designer, but you you can find some great cutout photos at pngimg.com

[@Mars-xe2vf]

I cannot find the slide menu

[@MrSanezero]

Thanks this video was very helpful. I'm actually interested in the transparent PNG you mentioned. Please how can I access it?

HOW DID U MAKE THE ASTRONAUT BLEND PLEASE

[@JoshuaPomeroy]

I just cut out the astronaut from the background of a stock photo. I did this using gravit designer. But you can find a lot of PNG images that are already cutout online.

Thank youu ,helped a lot

How did you delete the "filler content at 1:34?

[@onehappyneedle]

I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT SIMPLE. FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE VERY NEW TO ALL OF THIS YOU DIDN'T EVEN SAY HOW TO GET TO THE GOOGLE PLACE TO CREATE A FLYER. SO YOU ARE DOING ALL THESE "SIMPLE" STEPS THAT MAKE NO SENSE SINCE WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO BASICALLY START FROM THE BEGINNING. I'M NOT MAD ALTHOUGH I'M USING CAPITALS I JUST WANTED TO SAY FOR ALL OF US THAT ARE NOT COMPUTER GEEKS THAT WE NEED INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, NOT AFTER YOU'VE ALREADY GOTTEN TO WHERE YOU CAN CREATE. ALSO THIS IS WAY TOO FAST FOR ME AT LEAST. THANKS FOR LISTENING.
