MORE flyers

Soon I was asked to make more flyers. Here was another chance to polish my design skills! My next task was making a flyer for a workshop for teachers titled 'Resolving issues of Misbehaviour'.  I accepted the offer gratefully, but I soon realized it wasn't going to be easy. Infact, it wasn't going to be easy at all. The title of the workshop wasn't going to make the search for an appropriate image easy(All of ERDC's Workshops' flyers have images, so I was supposed to make one with an image as well). The title was so generic, at first it seemed impossible to come up with an image. I surfed on Google images(I'm not much into illustration on the computer so the image had to come from Google, obviously) for at least forty minutes before I found the image on the brown flyer. 



Then I found another image, the one on the other flyer. I knew it was the perfect image. Then I adapted the brown flyer and changed the image. The orange-and-blue one was accepted, although both were liked. :D

This was for a session on a poet of the subcontinent, Akbar Allahabadi. 






I made this one first but the second one got accepted (I guess option 1 didn't look professional enough, because of the selection of fonts and the colour combination).


A flyer for a workshop. Although people
liked it, I'm personally not very satisfied with
this one... :/



More flyers for workshops - I worked hard on both of them, and I am especially pleased with the Child Nutrition one... xD




 This one on the left is a flyer for a series of sessions my dad conducted on Saaqi namah, a poem by a famous eastern poet Allama Iqbal. I would have made something better but there was barely any time :/(this was uploaded on ERDC's facebook page only a day prior to the event!) so I simply downloaded a picture of the poet off the net, edited it a bit(made it black and white, decreased its transparency,) and used it as background for this. I had to add some colour, obviously, so in the end I decided on teal. This looks more or less like the flyer I made for a session on 'The life and works of John Holt', which I shared here in an earlier post.













Again, this is a flyer I was supposed to make at a very short notice. I worked a lot on it (first I made one with very busy typography, but when it was done, I realized that it didn't have any breathing space, looked two congested, and that all my intricate typography actually made the text difficult to read. So I made some changes to it, and came up with this. I guess it was a waste of time, but at least I learnt something from it. :))

Note: This was basically just a dump of all the flyers I made in the past few months, so please don't feel obliged to comment on this! :)

  1. These are really nice Zainab! I can't believe they were made by you! The last one doesn't look congested! It actually looks really good. Did you visit my blog a few minutes ago? The one with all the hearts? Because on my visitors counter I saw that a person from Pakistan has visited me!

  2. Your flyers have a very colourful and fascinating impact Zainab!

    The choice of colours in each of the first two flyers are a great way to captivate the person who reads it! I personally also would have chosen the second one as it has the perfect way of delivering the workshop info in three parts using just three simple but different colours. As for the second batch, I love how these two share the message in two different ways! And on the contrary, I personally think the first one does look professional! The contrasting typography highlights the poet's name quite well and those red corners draw interest into the poster and its info. But I was thinking perhaps the second was chosen because the colours chosen for the background/letters match those in the image on the right? Anyway both look equally fantastic! I really like how the "Teachers as Learning Facilitators" one has an earthy feel with its use of desaturated colours and imagery, reflecting the roots of children and their way of learning. The change in typography serves as a fresh change! (How are you not satisfied with it though? I love this one!) The choice of colour in the next two imply a fun child theme... I really like the way you chose silhouettes in the "Effective Mother-Child Communication" flyer as opposed to fruit imagery in the typograpy in the second! It's clear how your designing skills are really improving with producing these posters for various audiences! :D The second-last one makes for an interesting change, the way you chose to lower the opacity of the background image this time! It's surprisingly excellent given you had to produce it in a very short amount of time. :) The building-block and construction aesthetic in the last flyer is really cool! The typography visually describes what the workshop is about in a quality manner with its concrete-greys and contrasting yellow.

    Overall, your flyer designing skills are improving so much! I'd personally be interested in seeing the process in which you made these! Also, did you attend any of these workshops? They're so compelling! (Maybe it's also a sign that I'm being drawn into your awesome poster designs... ;))

    1. Thanks so much! Your comments mean so much to me! :)
      I didn't really attend any of the workshops, (most of these were for parents/ teachers) but I did attend the sessions on poetry (they were awesome!) Great idea, I'll try to post the complete process of at least one flyer (although I guess I'm too lazy to take a screenshot of each detail, haha!)
