Software to make flyer

volvoguy · 03-04-09, 03:38

hello all,
I was wondering if anyone knows of a software, preferably free, that I can use to make a flyer on.
I dont need anything fancy, just a few graphics and then an explanation of my services and costs.

If you're not a graphic designer, I recommend outsourcing this type of thing. It's not that it can't be done my an amateur, but the results will look amateur. It's worth the investment to have good print media. This is the face of your company we're talking about. Same goes for your website. Most detailers have HORRIBLE websites. They were probably DIY jobs or the old "my friends niece knows how to make websites..." It's a reflection of your professionalism. Make it good.
Think of it this way; most people can wash their cars and give them a good "detail" at home. Right? But is it anything close to what they would get if they paid a professional? Not even close.

Try this:

This is a JPG you can post to craigslist or your website.

I emailed you a .PSD (Photoshop) that you can take to a printer and print out a hundred copies on glossy paper. Crystal clear...no pixelation.

To post this in your local craigslist, copy/paste this title:

Open Office and Gimp are both great and free.

Robert,

I cant thank you enough! It looks 110% of what I could ever do. Thank you so much!
Funny thing is, I have a friend with a beat up 94 Red Integra, I had plans on going over to his place on Friday and Doing a Before, 50/50 and After on his hood and sending them to you! Imagine my surprise when I open it up and find a picture of exactly what I wanted to have on my flyer.

Thank you so much again!
