Stan` Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 I was looking for ways to print new flyers when I thought it might be time to update the current ones. What do you guys think ? OLD: NEW: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bb_ Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 The down-left imag eseems to fall a bit out of tone, since it is dark/foggy, maybe it would help if you switch positions of the two images on the right, or put the down left one on the right, since the background is darker there EDIT: also the website url, might want a more prominent place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sphyrth Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 I kinda miss the "History is Yours for the Taking" part... even if you argue that it'd be cheesy nowadays. The new Britons' image looks depressing compared to the old Celtic one, which is more lively looking. I find the Ptolemies Image as the most captivating part. I can almost feel the realism... as if it's a snapshot from a movie or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted October 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Thanks for the feedback guys ! I will try to find a better screenshot, I'm sure there are a few others I can use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted October 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 @sphyrth @bb_ Not sure about the website place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balduin Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 @Stan` The website should be more prominent. I would replace the Twitter and Facebook stuff and put the website on the place instead. The website and download link are the places people should go to check the game out. The download section is the place you get the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunChleoc Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 I'd make the weblinks lowercase to make them easier to read. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balduin Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 (edited) @Stan` looks better. You communicate a clear actionable message with the download link. The Facebook and Twitter logos in the bottom are too much. Generally, Facebook has a few posts this year, Twitter has a few more. In my opinion they do not tell you more information compared to the website. Here are some suggestions regarding the texts: 1. A Free and Open Source Game of Ancient Warfare 2. Download and play the Game Play0ad.com/Download 3. 0 A.D. is a free, open source, historical real time strategy game developed by Wildfire Games, a global group of volunteers. In addition, maybe @Sundiata has some recommendation regarding the texts. Edited October 16, 2019 by balduin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people don't know we are on those platforms. While they might be less popular than a few years back, it's good to showcase our presence there. It was asked multiple times at events. @Sundiata is also working to make those platforms more active. I think the coma gives emphasis to the rest Doing that would break the reading wouldn't it ? It might be nicer, I'd like somebody else's opinion as well. Thanks for the feedback guys ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundiata Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 @Stan`, I think it looks great! Yes, leave the facebook and twitter links in. Those sites might not be super active right now (I'll try to get a bit more activity going on facebook ), they are still the primary source of information for thousands of fans who aren't active on the forums. I'm not sure, but don't you download something "at" a website, and not "on" a website? "Download the game at play0AD.com/download" Using some different screenshots you get this: Not sure if it's better, perhaps an alternate version, or nah?

Lion.Kanzen Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Quote Rule 2: Use sans serif fonts for headlines and serif fonts for body text. Sans serif fonts have straight lines that are difficult to read which is why they should only be used for large font sizes. Serif fonts contain hooks and curves on the tips of the letters making smaller fonts easier to read. Expand This applies for many press media like posters and similar. I'd put the last wildfire logo or the 0 AD logo. It's like a radio ad the last thing you read, it's the most important thing and what stays in your head. Because Westerners read in Z form (from left to right). This in english is called Z pattern hierarchy. It is said that in a poster the same thing happens and advertisers pay more for the lower right corner. Reveal hidden contents No use more than 3 fonts... Another. Text is very inconsistent in this last line. Even with logos, look like there more prominent than others. No same font, no same size. https://www.interaction-design.org/literature/article/visual-hierarchy-organizing-content-to-follow-natural-eye-movement-patterns 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted October 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 @Lion.Kanzen Would you like to have a go at the flyer ?
