Home MenuFlyers Best Practices
- The purpose of a flyer is to communicate important information clearly and quickly while being visually pleasing. Avoid using too much information and using low-quality photos.
- Consider who your primary and secondary audiences might be (students, parents, community
members, etc.). Share information they may be looking for.
- Please stay within the brand guidelines - glendale.edu/BrandGuidelines.

Best Practices
1 The GCC logo (high-resolution JPEG or PDF) should always be placed in the upper left corner – clear, recognizable, and no smaller than 1.5” in width.
2 Feature images of students when possible! Use high-resolution, well-lit photos with students smiling and/or participating. Use no more than three photos. Photos of equipment or objects related to the topic work just as well.
NO CLIP ART!
3 Text/information should be placed from most important to least important.
Header/Title will be your largest and boldest text. It will catch the audiences’ attention. It could be the title of a presentation or class name. At least 24 point approved font
Date/Time/Class Number will be smaller than the header and larger than additional information. At least 16 points
Additional details, like number of units or, if this is a presentation, the speaker’s biography, should be done in a smaller font. At least 12 points
Contact information and/or web address
At least 10 points
