How to design an eye-catching event flyer template.
Use these quick tips to create your event flyer.
A well-designed event flyer stands out, draws attention, and gets people interested in attending the event. Think of your event flyer as an advertisement for the event you’re hosting — you want it to reflect the tone and theme of your event while also exciting potential attendees. If you’ve never created an event flyer before and don’t know where to start, there are tons of templates you can choose from and customize.
Customize your event flyer template.
When you’re customizing your event flyer, consider these creative elements:
- Color scheme. Your color scheme dictates the whole look and feel of your flyer. Many flyer templates come with preset color schemes. Choose the set of colors you want to use throughout the flyer to set the tone.
- Background. Set a flyer background color. This should be a color from the scheme you chose, and it should correspond with the event brand or theme.
- Text. Choose a font that also reflects the tone of the event — maybe it’s big and bold for a rock concert or delicate and refined for a fashion show. Make sure your text includes all the important info: an eye-catching event title and tagline, plus a date, time, location, and method for prospective attendees to get more information. This method could be tearable tabs with an event URL that people can take with them or a QR code that directs interested people to a landing page with more event details.
- Layout. Add dividing lines to structure your information in a compelling way so that it fills the page without being too crowded.
- Graphics. Add any images, icons, logos, or patterns that reflect your event theme.
How to make an event flyer with a template.
Making an event flyer is much simpler when you’re using a template to guide your design. A good template will have a beautiful design that grabs the attention of your specific audience and makes the information on your flyer clear for the reader.
- Information. First, decide which information needs to be presented on the flyer. The title, tagline, date, time, location, and website will all be important for your flyer. Make sure you’re not missing anything that could be key for attendees to know. You might also want to use pictures as a part of the information you share.
- Template. It’s helpful to choose an event flyer template that already has the feel you’re going for. The less you have to change, the better. Also, make sure there’s enough room for all of your text in the template. If you want to add pictures, find a template with spaces for pictures. Once you’ve chosen an event flyer template, use the advice above to customize it.
- Printing. When you’re printing out your flyer, think about the size you want and how many can be printed per page. Will you be cutting the flyers out? The easiest way to print your event flyer without having any formatting issues is to first convert it to PDF.
