Finance Flyer

The only thing that can be edited on this design is the bottom left MFAA logo, which doesn't fit into the design because of the vast contrast of colours (orange and blues).

The second image is perfect, nice use of spacing, playful yet business like (because of males suit) imagery and fabulous PEOPLEFIRST logo with awesome use of oranges.

Very well done with tis, the client will be appreciative I'm sure.

John, this really is a nice-looking piece. I like color choices and the typography for the most part. Here are my suggestions:

Top image: Looks like roughly a 3-col structure, but because that text on left is so narrow, you might consider using either 3.5 columns, with body copy over three columns and narrow left text in half column, or 2 wide columns of text and that narrow half column. I'd prefer to see "yes, you can" above the first column of text. Those two items go together and I think the concept of proximity dictates placing them closer together. Then, that narrow leg of copy can be aligned to the top, even with the body copy. I'm also not sure how the MFAA logo fits in, but it is a bit hard to read.

Bottom image: I'm not a fan of the large quotes. Granted, it goes back to my newspaper design days seeing kids right out of college use such design gimmicks poorly. One thing that caught me at first glance: I thought the couple were having a dialogue, hence the quote marks. Is that what you are intending?

OK, that's enough from me. Please don't take my lengthy critique to mean I think your design stinks or anything like that. Good work and keep us posted if you update anything.

Very attractive. Two thoughts - is the orange side the "back"? I think that side's logo could be smaller; don't feel the pressure to make it larger. It's hard to tell, though, what the specs of the doc are, so I don't know if the logo is truly "large" or just "readable" because the document is small. Also, is this a self-mailer or will it be in an envelope? If it's a self-mailer, be mindful of postal regulations and whatnot.

I also agree with Jackson's assessment of the two people - there's no real separation between them (the quotes and their shoulders even have different alignment) so it looks like they're related.

John I don't mind this, and I know how hard it is to do up something for a Mortgage Broker. Pretty sure MFAA have some style guidelines that might help you solve that problem - the broker should have been issued with this when they changed from MIAA a while back.

It might just be me, but the people don't look quite right. Outside the other comments - I think my issue is that the lady appears that she is bigger than the man (using a ruler this would appear to be correct), and with her being behind him, this is just magnified.
