    Hello.

    Shart:
    • the logo is low from the top of the page. please bring this up
    • the text in the shield needs to be tabbed to the center. Please keep it left aligned though.
    • the website address needs to go below the toll free number

    I have provided additional text which is as follows:
    Call us and we'll come right to your home. We will diagnose your computer, identify any problems and remove any threats.
    Further to that, we will discuss the problems and solutions that were required for your computer.
    At PC Habitat, we take pride in our work. It is important to us that your needs are taken care of.


    ImJustAGhettoKid:
    • Change the color of the words "Virus & Spyware Removal" to the blue of the logo (add shadow)
    • Place the new additional text in a vertical retangle with rounded corners
    • Place the bullets to the right or left of the vertical retangle
    • Add a top and bottom black border
    • You could place the toll free number and website address in new black border

    Everyone:

    looking forward to updates and new submissions

    Lhlalyam!

    actually no. a vertical rectangle.... so that you can place the new additional text inside the rectangle. Then outside the vertical rectangle... you can list the bullets either on the right or left

    This is a flyer sample with vertical rectangles. I hope it helps.

    Hello.

    DaveyBoy:

    Looking good. I love the way you created the thicker black border at the bottom with the toll free number and website address within it.

    suggestions:
    • remove the black borders from the right and left sides
    • add a little more thickness to the top black border
    • bolder font for the red text
    • Try a different color shadow for the black text instead of the white being used
    • is it possible to have a photograph with someone helping with a computer problem?

    Change:
    If your answer to any of the above was "yes" then PC Habitat can help you!

    Thanks for the submission. Looking forward to the changes!

    Here's my submission.

    The edges have been extruded for the bleed area needed by the printer.

    Let me know what you think!

    I am not assuming that Daveyboy isn't a good photographer or anything, but I think the reason why he didn't and probably won't include a picture of someone helping someone else with the computer is because he'd be using someone else's property.
    I don't think he would go through the hassle of licensing (and possibly spending money) to acquire such licensees to allow him to use the photo. I mean, we all know DaveyBoy is a good person and wouldn't want you being sued.

    Stay tuned, my crappy attempt at a flyer is coming!

    Hehe, well I may be able to use one from sxc.hu which is a free stock images resource - saying that, some do still have restrictions but we'll see :)

    BTW, i am NOT a good photographer ;)

    Hello Riftshighway.

    I like what you have done here with the layout of the flyer. I also like the way you allowed the text to be very readable.

    Suggestions:
    • Enlarge logo in top left hand corner. To small at present.
    • Thin the light blue curve. The dark blue one is the right size.
    • Add a light gray shadow to the curve - both upper and lower
    • remove logo from bottom
    • the last bullet can be placed as text (un-bulleted & white) in the yellow bottom portion.
    • change the color of the website address and toll free text to white
    • remove the characters http:// from the website address so it reads: www.pchabitat.com

    Wording:
    Change:
    Further to that, we will discuss the problems and solutions that were required for your computer.
    To:
    We will also explain the problems and solutions that were required for your computer.

    Thanks for the submission RiftsHighway! Looking great!

    *shyly shows feeble attempt:

    NOTE: Grammar, punctuation etc. will be fixed. It's just a method of watermarking... or just a typo :) By the way, it's not finalized =)

    Here's my revisions.

    A couple of versions; one with the photo faded in the background and subtle colour differences. I struggled to find a decent photo to use so if you can find any others, then i'll try to insert those.

    Hello.

    OnixZ100:

    I like what you have done with your design. The top wavy border is awesome and the same with the bottom border option.

    Suggestions:
    • The words - "Protection & Prevention from Harmful Spyware & Viruses" would look good in a shield that is tilted to the right slightly.
    • Place the website address below the toll free number in the footer section
    • Mid-section changed to white and use an image as a background (i.e. computer, person helping someone, doctor, someone happy beside their computer...)

    Wording:
    ummmmmm..... I like what you did to the wording!

    RiftsHighway:

    The changes look great! The shadow on the curve adds a good effect and the words added to the one that states "Don't Wait, Call Now!"

    Suggestions:
    • the bottom curve and border could be removed (this will help with formatting issues)
    • change the cartoon image to the one on my sites homepage
    • if you could add a photograph of something also, that would be great

    Wording
    Change:
    We will also explain the problems and solutions that were required for your computer.

    To:

    DaveyBoy:
    I love the way your second one looks with the person in the background.

    Suggestions:
    • make the logo just a smidge bigger
    • is the photograph watermark able to go into the yellow areas below and above? This way the watermark shows in all yellow areas?
    • Lighten the yellow area to match the top yellow area
    • Top black border just a smidge smaller
    • give the top and bottom borders a Web 2.0 look with curves or stripes

    Ariestoteles:
    Awesome work! I like how it captures your attention right away.

    Suggestions:
    • not to sure why, but on the top logo the .com looks a little jagged
    • could we try another image besides the nurse? I like the idea though!
    • The text in the tilted square needs to be formatted better
    • The wording "Protecting your computer and data is important to us. We can help!" can be centered.

    Wording:
    Change:
    Further to that, we will discuss the problems and solutions that were required for your computer

    To:

    Thank you everyone. I'm getting ready for bed and will be back online in the morning.
