I made this flyer for my husband's new private practice venture. He has opened his own family therapy office and is offering some low cost parenting workshops as a way to introduce his services to the community. We thought some simple flyers plastered around the shops and parking lots in the neighborhood would be a good place to start. I wanted to create a simple flyer that would convey the key points of information without being boring or tedious. One thing that I discovered in the presidential flashcard assignment was about text wrapping. I added a graphic of a family in various stages and using the format settings put it behind the name of his practice. The graphic is cool, but also dark, so I needed to change the color of the font so that you could more clearly see the name of the practice. I actually couldn't figure out how to save it as a .jpg, so I saved it as a PDF and saved it on a site that will save your documents and make them easier to view on a blog, like this:

I have used this before in sharing stories I've written on my other blog. I think it works pretty well. I look forward to learning more about desktop publishing and how I can make more interesting flyers for my classes. I am also looking into starting an after school creative arts centered care for kids, and I know that I can use these tools to create brochures and different projects for my students and parents. There are so many wonderful templates available as well that are really useful for slow technological learners like myself!
