Flyer vs Postcard vs Brochure

Flyer vs Postcard vs Brochure.......you would be surprised at how many people confuse the two. Be sure you know which one you want when asking for prices or when designing your own.

Flyers - usually 8 1/2 x 11....can be 1 sided or 2 and don't usually fold

Postcards - Can be 4 x 6 or 8 1/2 x 5 1/2.......can be used for mailing or handing out

Brochures - Usually 11 x 17 and folded to 8 1/2 x 11.........great for presentations. These can designed 2 different ways - #1 Traditional where it opens left to right

OR you can switch up with a "Bi-Fold" style Brochure that opens from bottom to top

Fourth of July Weekend

From: southbayevents.com

This year America's birthday lands on a Friday, making it a guilt and worry-free day to let loose. With summer in full swing, the South Bay is notorious for being one of the best spots in the country to enjoy the holiday. This Friday, the South Bay will party like diligent patriots armed with red cups and a gaggle of beach cruisers because it's the Fourth of July in the Beach Cities. The legendary Ironman is on again for the 37th year, the only time alcohol is accepted on the beach all year (under heavy police presence, of course). Here's a breakdown of the week's activities.

Thursday night is shaping up to be a big night in the area, with many bars expecting huge crowds. Join the cult following of one of the better 80's bands out there - the Spazmatics will be tearing it up live at Saint Rocke on Thursday evening. Patrick Molloy's will be hosting a 4th of July style breakfast all weekend beginning at 9:00 a.m., complete with jello shots and cocktails. Live music starts at 3pm at BALEENkitchen for the 4th with tunes provided by Mark McMillen & Friends. An early morning "Make Your Own" Bloody Mary and Mimosa Bar set the table nicley for a gourmet burger bar availabe from 3-6pm during BALEENkitchen's 4th of July Celebration. On the premise and hidden just below BALEENkitchen, nestled against the Portofino Marina, are actual fire pits that can be frequented on any given weekend but, could also make for an intimate staging point for the fireworks show that blasts off around 9pm. 

Grab a bottle of red, white, or rose and make a date for Zanes in Hermosa Beach - there is no corkage fee which always complements a reasonably-priced tasty dinner. Stay classy with a brunch at the Strand House in Manhattan Beach or relax on the tacky side of King Harbor with a craft beer at Naja's Place. Follow the craft beer trend during the daytime inside one of the South Bay's most influential bottle shops at Select Beer Store just off Pacific Coast Highway in Redondo Beach. Select Beer Store always has a well curated selection of dafts and bottles, with a solid focus on local breweries. A stop here druing the daytime can elevate your craft beer IQ and at the same time act as a nice whistle stop before the bombs burst in air.
