Testing new, cleaner preview image - thoughts?

I’m working over my preview image for my flyers, trying to give them a cleaner feel.

What are your thoughts?

Lookin good, clean is always pleasing to the eyes!

Nice..i like the idea..but no offence i’m affraid this style get rejection because reviewer has been so strich about level of detail , last time i make flyer exacly like this but get rejected ...maybe some ribbon on top side will looks even better..

Why thank you X

@Yazid45, thank you, although I was only looking for feedback about the preview image (it’s different to my others)

But like you say, they’re strict these days so let’s hope it doesn’t get rejected!

I like clean. Nice. Not so different from how I present my stuff.

Maybe a little flat? I always like a little depth, the that on the background or how you set apart the items themselves.

If you look at the “example use” they seem to flow into each other quite a bit, maybe a touch more contrast on the drop shadow.

And on a personal note: I really dislike those hands holding business cards flyers etc. Must be some childhood trauma because everybody seems to be into them, but personally they really put me off … I need to dig into my past, lol

@Chris, when you say flat, to you mean the constant grey for the background?

Re the example use, yes I think I should make the shadow a little bolder/more contrasted, good shout

Yay, accepted

Both, or either/or … If that makes any sense lol

I like the top row in terms of depth apart from my trauma with the hand

The second row I already commented on.

The third row looks very flat.

Of course it’s all a question of personal taste. I would make gray a little darker to allow you to place a little more present highlight. And then I would apply a little more contrasting drop shadows with less distance/spread. Basically just make it a little tighter.

But all this is talking nuances and personal preference. it is nice as it is already

Well done on the acceptance!

Cheers

Okay here goes:

Background:
Not liking the grey background. I think it needs to be lighter and also my suggestion would be to have a lighter grey at the top fading to white, basically a grey to white gradient.

In situ:
Not sure about the hand…looks like a dead person’s holding the flyer! I think you need to add more saturation to it and tint of yellow and red. The shadow behind the fingers (and on the flyer needs to be stronger so that it actually looks like someone is holding the flyer rather than just floating between the fingers.

Fonts:
I don’t like the font that you have used at the top (Arial black?). You’re using a couple of different fonts from the top and then at the bottom it’s different. I think if you stick to a font but use different weights then that would be ideal. I think you should try and use a combination of light and bold fonts to differentiate from what is the selling point (bold) to the non-selling point (light).

Features:
The feature points that you make at the top need to be highlighted better. I think if you try to use some kind of bullet point. I’m not sure the 3 column is working for me. I like to usually see the points in one column and maybe increase the font size.

These are just some pointers for you but I Could go on! But I think this should be enough for you to make the changes so far. Sorry for sounding harsh but I got to tell you like I feel!

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Think I’m gunna darken the background and increase the intensity of the highlights.

Gunna lose that hand now too.

After what @BoxedCreative said, I can’t help thinking it’s a zombie! haha

RE the fonts, I think the header font is Arial Black, the rest is Myriad Pro.
