I decided to try something a little different with the extra space.

They are seldom lost, but when foolishly forfeited or tamely resigned." ~Jonas Clarke

It looks very nice.   The touch of color is going to drive up the cost of printing.

Don't print out a ton the prices change the end of the year.  The prone position isn't the one we teach.
Last evening, it occurred to me that when a defender of Liberty is called home, their load lands upon the shoulders of the defenders left behind. Just as the Founders did their duty for Liberty, every subsequent generation must continue their work lest Liberty perish. As there is no way for the remaining adults to take on the work of those that die, we must pass the ideals and duties on to the children. -PHenery

It's not necessary to print it in color. It will print just fine black and white and also photocopies well. I've been looking for a perfect diagram of the prone position as we instruct it, but this is the closest I've come so far. I might just have to utilize my drawing skills when I have more time.

DwightC, would you be willing to post the underlying file, to make it easier to change the underlying contact information?

I like the general design a lot, but I have two suggestions. First off, besides the position being a little off, it's a pretty low resolution image to start with. I don't know what it looks like printed, but I have a feeling that it would show up and detract from the overall quality. Where did you get the image from? Maybe they could provide a higher resolution version of it, assuming you had permission to use it (if not, that could be a copyright issue). I like the picture there, so hopefully there's an alternative. Any resident appleseed artists?

My second suggestion is the "What you should bring" section. The flyer is pretty word-heavy and that information isn't really necessary. They'll have to come to the website to register anyways, where they will find an extensive what to bring list. Something that could be good to put there is that Appleseed is for all ages. I know I've heard at my local range that members thought it was a kids-only event.

Just my two cents, great work.

EDIT: After looking at your Florida specific flyer, I think the 'what you should bring' space would be great for customizing per location. That way we could keep the image and "Will you take the challenge?" text and still include shoot dates for ranges near where you're handing them out.

Yep, it's not generic with the FL info, calibers, etc...And I'm too cheap to buy the .pdf editor! :) Looks good though. I don't think the prone drawing are specific enough to be a problem....O.L.

I took some of the advice and made additional changes. There is now plenty of space at the bottom to add personal contact info. I did some editing and addressed the "ammo drought" issue which I personally found to be an invalid excuse (just my opinion) and touched up the image some in photoshop until I find something that suits my purposes better (improvise, adapt, overcome). Seeing how this project stemmed from my shoot boss needing a promo flier "like yesterday" I think this more than meets the mark, but I'm sure it will be improved again over time.

Huzaaah!

Many thanks for your efforts Dwight - will send this last one to my printer today and get a bunch for the Life Changes Expo this weekend at the Lakeland Center. Nicely done sir!  O0

Just printed a copy - looks great. Only change I might suggest would be to change "marksmanship training" to "marksmanship education".

I love the part about "But isn't ammo expensive?" - classic Rifleman answer - suck it up and do it.  O0

Outstanding sir!

Looks great, I like the decision to add a few quick FAQs.

Mt printer was able to swap training for education and will print 2000 copies on a desert tan paper for $140.

Many thanks DwightC!  :---
