i would trim it to advent: an evening of meditation and music and the questions, the image, and the address
you have no idea how badly I wanted to change this thing
And, the worst bit, is that the rest of the committee is all proud of me for it and have already been telling people "Belasco made this fantastic flyer! Wait until you see it!"
ug.
maybe it hits the target "old folks who enjoy reading things on posters" demographics
i mean by definition they do enjoy reading things on posters
Average age of our congregation is 28.
The person who wrote the text was really in to it and I had to try and figure out how to get it all on there...but, imo, it's not a flyer it's damn near a pamphlet without the folding.
When I think "flyer" think bold text, context appropriate imagery, and short and to the point information

i'm guessing housing prices will always be inflated on islands, particularly on the coasts of those islands, and given the concentration of NZ pop in auckland...

yeah but these flyers seem to be focused on proselytizing. I imagine the "old folks who enjoy reading things on flyers and have the time to do so" would not be a target demo in this case.
It's only going out to our congregation, and the guy who wrote it wanted to explain what Advent is and then, I guess, he also felt the need to explain Taize...which I get, it's not a common form of worship.

something this convoluted is definitely the product of a larger committee with a vision
learn from advertising people, this is not how you do it
I'll be able to commiserate with the chair of the other committee that I'm on, he's been in marketing for 20+ years and we see eye to eye on this stuff. When I offered to do the layout and handle getting the thing printed and my partner in creating this event offered to do the text I had no idea we were talking about two different things. I'm new to this church, so, lesson learned!
Panini press cheese grilling is pretty good, even heat and pressure, and very little fuzz.
I believe in only lightly grilled cheese though, the cheese just slightly not solid and the bread caramelised but not black

How much would I need to spend in renovations such that it doesn't look like Im squating in a dead grandma's house?
gut the kitchen
remove all that wallpaper (probably means new drywall)
replace the paneling
burn all the furniture and carpets
maybe do something about those arches
beautiful floors though
also the ceilings look like they're about 72 inches high. should be okay for you, but if you have guests they'd be hunching down all the time

Take down all the wood paneling, sand all the finished wood molding and baseboard, remove all the wallpaper, remove all the carpet, get the floors professionally polished, and paint everything.
Edit: Oh man didn't even see the kitchen! All that's gotta go.

i dont flip houses, but i have friends who do, and it seems like their reno budgets are usually 25-50% of the purchase price of the home
i think this can vary wildly due to local labor costs
also there has to be a certain amount of contingency in the budget because if they open a wall up and find a problem, it has to be addressed before work can continue

I'm going to ballpark it at about 15k? The floor is wonderful, but that wood paneling, the insane red wallpaper, the kitchen floor, and all the door hardware need to go.
Extra cash to update the fireplace. It's an adorable little house
So uh..
Channing Tatum is visiting a relative in the hospital today here in my fabulous city.
He's was in the hallway getting swarmed by an army of freaky stalker psycho bitches.
Women are so much more fucked up than guys.
If we did that we'd get our asses beat, tasered, and pepper sprayed.
that is precisely the sort of flyer i would expect to see from a church tho
maybe it's ironic
...or just sad
I've done a lot of 'em, and getting folk to understand that more is not better has been an active challenge. Thankfully, I'm not in a position in this new church to have to do a lot of this sort of stuff and the people who are do marketing for a living...so there's hope!
i'm guessing housing prices will always be inflated on islands, particularly on the coasts of those islands, and given the concentration of NZ pop in auckland...
Not really. Its a reasonably new development for NZ and Auckland. Iirc house prices started shooting up about a decade ago.
Before that a house like what Mortious linked would have been far more affordable.
Auckland has exploded in population over the last 25 years, it attracts most migration and apparently new housing stock supply can't keep up.
The North Island, for the record, is bigger than Cuba

ah, here is my failure, allow me to make it more public...also, I'd actually like y'all's honest opinion about the text. I didn't write it and wouldn't have put ALL of it on a flyer if it had been up to me...
Did they force you to use that font for the copy? I'd go smaller, block track the paragraphs and give it more line spacing to help it breath...or just change the font. Also like winky said, more white space.
Not a whole lot you can do with that much text. I feel your pain.

Didn't actually know you once did this. Neat!
It has its stresses, especially when stuff like that happens, but so far it's been worth it.

Jeeze
The pictures of that place make it look tiny
and considering real estate photography tries to make places look as big as possible...
Makeshift? Hardly!
I consider it rustic traditionalist.

I think @bowen may know some basic home reno stuff, although you will probably have to adjust upwards for NYC prices
you should move to the Chicago suburbs instead. much more affordable. fyi. hth.
is that a nice way of saying redneck

true, when are you coming home so we can get to that, or should I have the boys start?
it types fine, it just doesn't make as obvious a resistance at the actuation point as it should

Hmmmmm. Red is dead so red is negative. But black cats are considered unlucky so perhaps black is negative.
I'd need a huge loan from the Bank of Dad to make that happen tho.
