Flyer Design Brief
We need a threefold leaflet (double sided) designing for our Light Railway’s upcoming 2017 year. We would like the leaflet to be eye catching and appealing to see. The leaflet should also represent the railway and show potential and returning visitors what we have to offer and why they should come visit. It should clearly display the route of the Railway and it should also be easy to understand. The leaflet needs to have a bold front cover as this is what potential visitors will see first. The inside and back pages of the leaflet should provide thorough information on the Railway.
We have attached our old leaflet as an example - Please see attached files.
