You are going to create your own flyer, using the concepts Aaron showed you in the previous lesson.  But, the point of this lesson is to show me that you understand the concepts taught by Aaron!

The flyer can be for an event, awareness, school group, tryout, etc – whatever YOU want it to be.  Here are the rules:

  • Document size must be 8.5″ x 11″ portrait
  • Include a photo (clipped)
  • Use the shape-builder/pathfinder etc
  • Use appropriate colors & fonts (remember, you can find new fonts at fonts.adobe.com)
  • No comedy or parody style flyers.  Focus on something legitimate.
  • This assignment will be graded with an emphasis on effort, creativity/originality.
  • Do not make your flyer look like the one you did with Aaron.
