BosKonay Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Lol. Is there such a thing as a 'standard' leaflet size? Quote
Broithe Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Perhaps the leaflet could be made available online, so that it could be printed and distributed as appropriate by those of us in foreign climes.. Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 A5 is the normal flyer distributed at shows & fairs 148 × 210 mm or 5.83 × 8.27 in old money With a decent heading there are still about 20 lines available for text in large fonts Quote
Broithe Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 A6 for those that can still see in N Gauge...? Quote
Dave Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 A5 is the way to go, I do my price list and leaflet in A5. Keeping it online to download and print is a great idea. Richie can you do the artwork and maybe we can post it on IRM? Quote
Glenderg Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Yeah, gonna make a start on it now. Colour or Black & White? R. Quote
Glenderg Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 This one works for black and white as well as colour. I would like to do another one with just images no text, but that's for tomorrow. Lemme know what ye think, have I left out any critical aspects to this madhouse which should be included. I also need the Header and strapline beneath, so put the thinking caps on. Regards, Richie.

Riversuir226 Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Hit the nail on the head there Richie, really like it Quote

[ATTACH=CONFIG]6929[/ATTACH] Regards, Richie. I suggest moving the URL higher maybe or have a few of them. People might lose interest in what it says and not get to the bottom. Also remove the ooohs and aaahs Quote
Warbonnet Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Looks good but I always feel that a picture says a 1,000 words. Weathered diesel, steam and one of Richie's buildings maybe? Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Richie maybe just a wee bit to much going on there. Less is more as they say. Quote
Weshty Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) Richie Loving the "For the benefit of Mr. Kite" homage. A small piccie on the headline will add the cherry to the icing. Oh and lest I forget, total props to the main man Boskonay for the money time and effor invested in keeping this site shipshape. As user friendly goes, you won't get much better. Word.

Mayner Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 I havent read this thread before and frankly, gobsmacked by the time effort and money put into running the site. Considering the problems we had with earlier sites, perhaps its time for the rest of us to consider a fund raiser for the keep Stephen solvent fund? 1 Quote
heirflick Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 great work there richie , but i think its too much -could be a turn off at first glance....its a but of an effort to read. i would go pics with headings so the message is got right off the bat. Quote
jhb171achill Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 I would take my hat off to anyone prepared to invest money and time in this. It is an excellent site. I thoroughly support any efforts made to help reimburse those who cough up €2000! A stand at an exhibition? I'll offer assistance for a start. Quote
Shinkansen Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 I have to say hats off to Stephen for the website. It's a fantastic resource and has opened up the hobby for me in a way RM web could never do (plus alot easier to navigate too!!!). Some fantastic contributors, inspiring workmanship, friendly advice, and tonnes of encouragement for all of us starting out. Quality work on the webdesign too by the way. Had no idea it required such an investment of time and Euros. You have to be applauded for your work. Top stuff. Tom Quote
Dave Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 I like the leaflet, if we put the web address on top in big letters than maybe underneath "Irish Railway Modeller needs YOU!" A couple of pictures on the bottom. What do ye think lads?? Quote
Glenderg Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 Hold up! That flyer is strictly a take off of Victorian Posters and is in need of tweaking. Very little imagery and plenty moustaches - that's the style i want to emulate which may only be suitable for a larger scale poster - at shows etc. I already said that there is going to be one with pictures only. They're almost done too. And there are so many publish worthy photos on the site, it's very hard to sum up on an a5 sheet. I've done two colour flyers, one focussing on workbench and producing models, the other focussing on layouts, scenics and the bigger picture. I've been through every thread on both layouts and workbench ('cept my own) and there is some phenomenal and stunning work on these boards, though some crackin work let down by fuzzy photos. I'd have triple the photos to use if it wasn't the case. I know i'm not going to please everyone with any design, but if ye think i'm going to do the type of flyer normally associated with a curry house or charity shop, which would undersell the calibre of this astonishing resource, then irish rail must be currently regauging to 7 ft! Anyhoo, i've yet to chat with Captain Bosko, who runs this show, and get his take on this. Can we park this for a few days until i've talked to him? Richie. Quote
Dave Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 I agree Richie. Looking forward to seeing the results Quote
BosKonay Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 Looks amazing Richie! Maybe the victorian emporium style as a large A2 type poster / popup, with the A5 more imagey for the leaflets? Could fairly easily and cheaply get a popup 'micro stand' basically just for dispensing leaflets... Quote
Warbonnet Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 Looks amazing Richie! Maybe the victorian emporium style as a large A2 type poster / popup, with the A5 more imagey for the leaflets? Could fairly easily and cheaply get a popup 'micro stand' basically just for dispensing leaflets... This is starting to sound like a day in work for me. There is no such thing as an easy to assemble micro stand, I have the scars to prove it! Quote
BosKonay Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 Lol - they look so 'easy' on d'internet? Any ideas? I was thinking a pop-up roller, with a leaflet 'dispenser' type thingie in front, which could be plopped down at shows, etc? Quote

I was thinking a pop-up roller, with a leaflet 'dispenser' type thingie in front, which could be plopped down at shows, etc? Reads do the pop-up rollers, I'm sure they could source the leaflet dispensers too. Will have a look around work when I'm back in tomorrow and see what else we have and where we got it from. If we took a table at the shows we could man it and had out leaflet with some spiel and maybe show off a couple of models. Would be more effective. Quote
