New Flyer Design: Appeals to Obama Democrats

[dw1345]

Very impressive. Just to nitpick, I would take "steadily" out of rising unemployment. "Steadily" takes away from the impact and in these kinds of flyers, the fewer words the better. Also, making the bottom half of the donkey red would work better symbolically IMO, and would also help the flyer pop out more. Again, very nice work overall.

EDIT: Also, "republican" should be capitalized in "amazingly he's a republican." And there's some big errors in the Learn More section at the bottom.

"This card was made by independent supporters, not affiliated with Ron Paul's campaign's (should be campaign) for the Presidency (presidency shouldn't be capitalized here)."

Hope you get it all worked out in time!

Yes it does!

Since I'm a designer, I'll nit pick.

- dont hypenate 'unemployment'
- dont force justify the text

- Do a text wrap around Dr. Paul with plenty of white space.
- Do capitalize Republican in the second paragraph 'amazingly – he's a Republican'

and at the end, I'd say "Join thousands of Democrats registering Republican for the year and voting for Ron Paul in the primaries."



my .02 slugs.

ps - love the facebook page too!

I appreciate the comments, and will do my best to incorporate these.

Awesome! Thanks for pointing these out. Totally agree.

I will be making these available for purchase hopefully by early next week, on Tuesday. I'm talking to my printer to get the lowest possible printing prices.

well done, as always

Maybe I'm off base but I'll raise one thought. Is the [for a year] necessary or desirable? I know it is on the originators Facebook and I understand where it comes from, yet I think we are providing a bridge to a new way of post partisan thinking, (and from there people rarely go back...) Does the "escape clause" cheapen that?

My second thought is the way this is always spun against us (with or without the element, or even the rise of the Blue Republicans.)

Not that I expect to avoid the charge of being a donkey in an elephant suit, yet isn't that particular element a bit "in your face". I can pretty easily sell the idea of attracting democrats (the critical center) and unspin the basic rhetoric, but saying [just for a year]... Is it really necessary, or desirable?

Perhaps a [till further notice]

Thanks :o

So, I've gotten prices up for the Democrat-focused Flyers. I specialized them towards the "Blue Republican" idea. Prices start at $15 for 250 business cards. All prices are at-cost for both printing and shipping. I only marked them up about 5% to cover the PayPal transaction fee & other simple fees I incur for setting this up.
