I have an opportunity to put a poster up in a number of coffee shops/libraries in my local area.

I am quite handy at design so I thought to give it a bash and I came up with the following poster

(warning - it is a poster advertising my business and it is quite large)

I wondered if people could give me some feedback on the content/design.

I await the knives :-) god knows I need them.

Look ok however, 2 things to me:

1. Too many figures - the £4000 and £5000 together make you read it a bit too carefully - depends where you're going to put it or send it though i suppose!!

2. Using a landline number would be good as simply a mobile number often puts me off - saying that, that's all that's on my site! Oops!

Apart from that - look ok, not too cluttered!

Looks great to me - it would certainly encourage me to take a look at website.

Hi Andy - it's nice and clean with a good amount of whitespace, only one minor suggestion - instead of

buyingit can save you money if...

you could use

buyingit will save you money when...

to be a bit more positive.

Just a thought

The only thing that I will say is that it reads as if you are a one man band - "Andy helped me..." "Call Andy today..." and "how much he can...". It may only be you working for the company but is that how you want potential customers to see it?

Also you have a double space between your mobile number and the word and.

I will put my 'follow me' voip number onto the poster as well as my mobile.

I thought I might get away with the mobile number as I am using my name - sort of personal!?

I like your wording change top-click and I will immediatley make use of it everywhere! (time to go pick over my main site!)

AHAEvents : buying i.t. is a personal company. I have no intention of letting it become more than just me. It is something that I love doing, and it is something that I do very well!

Thanks for looking though, all comments are appreciated!
