Flyers! Flyers! Flyers!

For this project, we were supposed to create a flyer (hence the title of this post), one for men and one for women. For the women's flyer, I went with a summer theme and kept things simple. I've been doing that more often, huh? Well, anyways, here's the flyer for women:

As you can see, the flyer is quite busy with pictures but of course, the purpose of this is to attract buyers and sell. I do feel that the prices are quite scattered and the background design is a bit plain. I guess I could have added some more fun designs with a summer theme on it.

However, I do like the pictures I selected and I liked the way I photoshopped the girl in the top left corner. The background was a beach and I successfully erased all traces of it. It didn't take that long but I feel a bit accomplished.

As for the men's flyer, I guess you could say I was a bit lost. You see, I don't know much about men's clothes or  "fashion" so I didn't know where to start. I started off with googling a bunch of pictures for men's hoodies and shoes. Those were the first two things I could think of. Also, I think choosing casual wear made it easier for me to add pictures of what guys wear.
Creating the men's flyer was pretty quick and is a bit similar to the women's flyer. Here's a picture:

I didn't put much pictures of men's clothing and I guess I should have done so. Also, the design (if you can even call it that) is quite plain. Another thing I need to work on: creativity. I should have put more thought into the detail of the poster and the design to make it stand out and catch the reader's eye.
