Title: | Racing Sponsorship |
Post by: DRobbo on 07 January 2008, 13:46

Hi! Don't know if this is quite the right place for posting this... But hey I'll give it a go  :tongue:

Basically... Is this a catchy front page for a sponsorship leaflet?
I'm not quite happy with my wording and any help would be much appreciated on that!
I've spent some time on it... But it's really bugging me... I don't think it looks quite right, and I can't see why?!?!?!?!  :angry:

And another thing... Are there many racers out there... And how do you go about getting sponsorship? Is it through work contacts or just walk up to people and say 'hi'?

Any help much appreciated!!

 :smiley:

Layouts sorted!!

Had a brainwave and played with contrast... That and a black border and it jumps out at you a bit more now!

 :smug:

Always the way... Hours frustration... Ask for help... Then it works!!!

It's just like my car!   :grin:

The text in the centre doesn't look right as it's not in line with the elements surrounding it. I don't like the lines separating the words 'invest' and 'get noticed'; it stops the words being as punchy, as the bigger text makes it punchy alone.

As you're listing things with the lower blue text try using bullet points.

Can't believe I didn't line the writing up!  :embarassed:

Fiddling... Still fiddling...

The black border is too thick, it doesn't look right. Try reducing the stroke/weight.

Looks much better with bullets. You just need to sort the alignment.

If you aligned the "Invest | Get noticed" bit with the horizontal lines of the rhombus its inisde, I think it'd look spot on  :smiley:

Thanks for all the tips  :wink:

It's only a catch page... So achievements and further info will follow on later pages... Although thinking about it, it will need some on the front page, otherwise there is no reason to choose me over someone else... Ah well, more work to do!!!
