Don't like it. Get rid of the shadow and it will look much sharper. I like the background but you seem to have two different typefaces at least on there. Can the blue under the black be taken away from the bold text?

Think he means the main large wording is a mix of blue and black. Dont look so nice on here but prob would look ok on the actual flyer.

No, sorry I think I preferred the first one, the writing style at least.

As for the title, I'm not so sure, I likes the first, but the second is nice too!  :-\

The writing just looks plain now! :P

Hi,

I think the first one looks cool!

I have noticed that some companies like to advertise with very clear lettering, & some companies use less clear lettering, as a kind of quiz/puzzle on people, as they then spend more time looking at these ads until fianally working out what is written.

Like second one better but think I would rather have your name in plain black rather than with white edging but its down to personal choice

Drop the background back with a transparency about 20 - 30% its nice but too bold and is competing with the text.
For the heading use a black outline with white text and a bolder font will make it stand off the busy background.
The layout isn't balanced with the bullet points so move them into an ordered look, and run the phone numbers underneath along the whole length with a bolder font.
Never use more than two different fonts.

That is very good - "M" should have a full stop after it (or the "G" shouldn't) and not a rule but the "or" should not have a capital "O".

Might have sounded a little harsh but i didn't like the first one because on my screen the type just looks fuzzy - a bit like forgetting to put your glasses on. In my opinion it needs to be as clear as possible and as big as you can get away with. Just my opinion.  ;)

It is a little fuzzy on here but it is clear.
Thanks any way.

can you lighten the background on it ? you want them to see the words first not the picture, if your wanting them to see the picture then maybe put a blade on there and a bucket or a window and wfp
