Where Can I Find A Flyer Template

May 28, 2008 4:36 PM

Can anyone direct me to a free flyer template that I can download for my MacBook? (PC OK, but I'd have to do the work at home.) We're staging a concert/dance with a cowboy rock band as a fund raiser for the food bank. I've looked and looked with no luck.

Thanks, partner... I think the links already given are your best bet. Unfortunately, Word templates tend to be a bit boring. Here's something you might want to try: go to www.sxc.hu and open a free account. Search for a nice bold photo or 2 that works with the theme of the concert, and insert it into the Word document as the background image. Then, place your text over the top in a contrasting color. A big bold photo can be very much more eye catching than a boring business-like layout.

Good luck.

Do you want images?
Color?
How big is the flyer going to be?
What kind of look are you going for?
(ie: Businesslike? Hatch Show Print? Simple With an Image? Complex With an Image?)

Links to collections of online Word templates are easy to find, but I'd bet you will get better results with a more specific question.

Pages '08 has some nice page layout templates for this sort of thing. If you want to see the selection, here are the available flyers and the available posters.
