Kollel Brochure Feedback

Hi,
I’d love feedback on this brochure for a kollel.
Actual size is 8.5 x 14".
Feel like it’s missing something… Maybe more detail/ something to make it more elegant?
Also would love to make the cover nicer…
Wondering if all the photos look ok? They’re not professional and I didn’t edit any of them.
Thanks a million!
Have a great week!

So sharp! Love it!! The brown text on the dark bkgd shld be darker… I feel like the schedule should match this, no?

Wow, so nice!! I love how you matched the style of the pictures to the logo shape. I think the pictures are fine…I agree about the cover needing a little more interest. Maybe you should play with the words a little more - like making some words bigger and some smaller. Totally maskim with @goldie-mezei about the schedule matching this brochure. This looks much more chashuv than the other design you applied to the schedule.

Thanks @goldie-mezei and @Breindy-S for your ideas!
This brochure will be used for a kollel event, as will another program schedule flyer that I am making to match this brochure.
Not sure that the learning opportunities flyer should also match - won’t be used together…
Keep the critique coming! :smiley:
I really appreciate it!!
What do you say to this cover (client changed wording a bit):

Looks great!! Maybe instead of the GET being big, the word “involved” should be big instead?

It looks great!!
I agree with @gilagarber above
on the cover, would you consider lowering the opacity a drop on the ‘and’ sign?

Thank you @gila-garber and @Ahuva !
I’d appreciate any additional critique!

The cover looks better regarding the &
Is the get on the back heavier than the involved? something looks a drop off over there…

otherwise its looking Amazing!

Beautiful! love the “new” cover!

Thanks everyone for your feedback on this!
Now I wanted to get the titles consistent, so copied the style from cover.
Not sure if it the mixed italics looks ok, or just switch to no italics?
TIA!

I like it better without the italics.

i like it better without the italics

Thanks!
Italics are gone :smile:

Uh, oh!
Client printed these and the folds are a bit off: Design for some of the panels extends past the fold!
I specifically designed this brochure with the inside panel a bit narrower than the other 2, as per measurements that I found online.
It said that otherwise the inside panel would not fold in nicely.
Anyone have experience with something like this?
I feel bad that the final design came out a bit off, and feel like giving a discount - not sure if that’s done…

yikes… I feel so bad
I would think the smart thing to do would be to give the client a discount. As a graphics designer, you always want to please your clients. Customer Service makes a difference!!

That is a tricky one. Offer a discount or a discount for the next job (if there is something else coming in the near future)

Oy I feel so bad!
What is the general rule with sizing these things?
are the panels even or that tiny bit off?

So basically, the inside panel is a bit narrower than the other 2.
Looks great folded, but when the cover is open, there is an 1/8" gap near the inside panel…
Not sure if that’s clear.
I actually did this intentionally, because I read online that if all panels are equal widths, it could not lie nicely when folded, the inside flap must be a bit narrower.
Might be more noticeable in this case because it’s not printed on heavy paper.

So now that the client paid up already, should I do anything?
Wait to see if they give me another job and offer a discount then?
Leave it?

Thanks everyone for your opinions :smiley: !!

@zippy Curious to hear your experience with trifold brochures.
