Ah, I forgot to mention that I used stock images and brushes from DA users. I'll need to credit them soon...

You Rina impersonator!

So, last one : I'm starting with this as it's my least favourite. See, I love the parchmenty background, but the text on it is too crammed and makes it look too wordy. Because when you're reading a flier, you don't want the eyes boggled by a block of text. Give some spacing and it be awesome! Did you make the parchment?

First/Second : Gorgeous work with the background. But this might have the same problem as Jug's with that it'd be a great poster but as a flier, not so much. To me, the mirrored 'www.YWS.com' bit needs to be transparentified a bit. It's too 'katack' in your face than the actual one. Move it down a little from the actual one and maybe feather around the edges for a nice smooth transition effect? Me thinks lowering the logo might look better; especially with the spotlight effect you have there.

So, overall, for me, I think the last one would work much better as a flier; while the first one is artistically a brilliant poster! Edit the second one and I'd love it!

Thanks Lava, the parchmenty backgrounds are those stock images I said I used. Stock images are resources for art that many DA users put out to help others with their art.
Anyways, thanks a lot! Oh, and what do you think about the words? I was really stressing over those; couldn't write a thing for five minutes. :?

Hey there Jenthura!

So, since everyone has pretty much hit up any artistic points but since you mentioned something about the words up there *points at your last post* I will make a mention of one line in your third flier that did really settle funny in my tummy.

Friendly reviews and critiques by fellow writers on any piece of your choice!


It's a great sounding idea but when you read it, I think it comes off as sounding a little hotel-like or even like a retail advertisement for printed paisley pants or something. Even if you were to cut out the "on any piece of your choice!" you would be much better off.

My honest opinion, though, is that you should take the text from number two and slap it onto number three. Then I think you'd have a much cleaner and a far more impressive flier.

If you have any question, comments, or whatever, just leave me s wall message or a pm! :D
Never forget who you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.

What sister said. Words of the first one + the second one = awesome flyer.
