Hello, I am new to this site so I am not sure if this is the correct place to post asking for critique on some flyers I did for a nonprofit. The flyers are honestly awful and very amateur but they were okay going with these ones attached for the different events. I want to get better and make them look more professional and less awful/amateur-looking. The content I am provided for the flyers is often what they request to be included (even if I purposely send a draft with something specifically not on the flyer, like not adding a picture of a person or taking off the word Theme, etc.). Many times it gets requested that the content get added back in (I will remove it if I think it looks too busy). The silhouette of the people pictured is purposely me blocking out the real picture of the people. I feel like some of the flyers have too much text on them but as I stated it’s requested that they want specific information on some of the flyers or make something bigger/smaller and I will adjust it how they request. They have given me an example of what they want the flyers to look like and personally I think the example is too busy but also you can tell it’s more professional and you can’t pull professional from an amateur. If I can find the example they provided or a similar one I will share it.

What specifically on the flyers (either in general or each one individually) is bad and should be avoided?

Or is good and keep doing or could use some work?

The flyers were created in Gimp except for the Elevation flyer was created in Microsoft Word.

Also, if this type of question/post could be better suited for a different forum please let me know. I wasn’t sure so this seemed like the best place to post.

The Let there be light theme was the first one of 2023. Created in Gimp.

The finger of God flyer was done in 2022. Created in Gimp.

The elevation flyer was done in 2022. I used Microsoft word to create this one because I was having a hard time with Gimp.

The red text dominion word festival was the first flyer I had ever done and it was in 2021. This was done in Microsoft Word.
