Jared Finkenbinder Posted August 2, 2023 Posted August 2, 2023 Hi there forums! I have been using Affinity off and on since Publisher V1 came out, I have 2.x ready to install but I'm waiting on some upgraded hardware first, so I'm still using the version 1.10.x apps for now. I mostly use Publisher, but I am learning Designer and Photo some. Prior to this I used mainly Microsoft Publisher and Paint.net as there was no way I could afford the Adobe products. So thank you Serif for making Affinity so affordable. Anyhow, I thought I'd share a three-fold brochure project I just turned out for my wife's accounting firm. I'd love your opinions and critiques. Thanks. Jared Finkenbinder Proximitas Local Marketing, LTD Alpha TaxHelp Brochure.pdf Quote
GarryP Posted August 2, 2023 Posted August 2, 2023 Looks nice. I haven’t properly examined it but I have three things of note: 1. The URL on the front(?) is much shorter than the URL on the back(?). Is that deliberate? Also, are the “https://” and “.html” really necessary these days? 2. There are two lighthouses on one panel on the front(?). Is that too many lighthouses for one panel? 3. I would personally lose the 'apostrophe-s' from the end of “Accounting” on the top-right of the front(?). Just what I would do, not a big issue. Quote

So would I, for whatever it’s worth. Less negotiable is this apostrophe on the second page: Quote Removal of Bank Levy's It’s plural, not possessive, so it should say Quote Removal of Bank Levies Also on that page: Quote Negotiate … Asking … Requesting … Offering … Filing … I recommend changing the first one to “Negotiating”. For a consistent punctuation style, you should replace Quote a "flat" (fixed) fee with Quote a “flat” (fixed) fee i.e. curly quotation marks instead of straight ones.

Jared Finkenbinder Posted August 2, 2023 Author Posted August 2, 2023 @GarryP @Alfred thank you both. I am going through it again this morning. The lighthouse graphic is my wife's logo. But you are right it's probably not necessary there on this page. I will go through the other grammar issues you noted this morning. Thanks for the suggestions. Alfred 1 Quote
