Flyer design basics for a local event

You used to need Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or a desktop publishing tool to design a flyer. Now you can do the entire job in your phone browser, no install, no account required.

What you need

• A phone with a browser
• The HDPrint Print Studio
• A photo, logo, or background image (or you can start with a solid colour)
• 10 minutes

Step 1: Start the project

Open Print Studio. Choose a flyer preset — A4, A5, or letter size. The picker sets the canvas with the right bleed area already configured.

Step 2: Set the background

Add a rectangle the size of the canvas. Fill it with a colour, a gradient, or an image. The image can be dragged in from your phone or a connected cloud drive.

Step 3: Add a heading

Pick the Text tool. Add a frame near the top and type your headline. Use a strong sans-serif font in a large size — 60-80 pt for a 4 x 6 inch flyer.

Step 4: Add supporting text

Add smaller text below the heading. This is where the event details, date, and call to action go. Use 18-24 pt for readability.

Step 5: Add an image or logo

Drag your image into the canvas. Position and size it. Use the alignment guides to centre it relative to the text.

Step 6: Check print readiness

Zoom to 100% in the export preview. Make sure text is inside the safe zone and the background extends to the bleed edge.

Step 7: Export

Export as PDF for print. Upload to the shop's QR ordering page or print at home.

FAQ

Can I use a custom font?

Print Studio includes a set of web-safe fonts. For custom fonts, use the import option in the typography panel.

Will the print match what I see on screen?

Approximately. Colour profile and DPI differences are minor at standard print settings. The export preview shows the print-ready result.
