Flyer 2.0, Now With Beedev!



   Now, I'm (very obviously) not a graphic design professional, but I do greatly enjoy what little graphic design projects I do end up doing in the course of living my life. I was out last week putting up the previous version of the above flyer and I'm going on another driveabout tomorrow, and in the intervening week since last week it has occurred to me I may as well put a little shout out to Bee Aid International on the flyer -- I mean I'm running around putting around flyers anyway I might as well hey?

   Now to go finally finally update some critical beedev.org pages that haven't been updated since 2014 and still refer to the 2015 project in future tense :X



   In unrelated news, I made eggnog the other day. Anyone else have eggnog making experience? I've got a number of experimental ideas for next batch, such as replacing all the granulated sugar in the recipe with honey because of course. And cardamom seems to me like it would be good but no recipes mention it so maybe I'm wildly misunderstanding tastes?

Thanks! I got a number of calls about the flyers I put up already so I'm optomistic. People are lovely (:

Oh, I like that! Lovely design and the plashes of bright yellow are very eyecatching and sunny.

Thanks! Yeah plashes of color to catch attention and the background image I think is important because I wanted to give them an idea of what it would look like to have hives in a field since many people might not know what to picture. So they can picture that lovely scene there (:

I've never attempted to make eggnog -- it's just a thing you buy in stores at Xmas time, then it disappears until next Xmas time, but a quick google turned up a number of eggnog recipes using cardamom.

I think it looks great!

Also - cardamom sounds good. I'd worry it would't "whip up" without the texture of sugar...

This is an excellent design.

I used to make it all the time when I was married and we entertained. You cannot buy raw egg eggnog here, and it tastes so different. If you have an issue with the foam not rising as high, or stabilizing without sugar as mentioned in a post above, try a little cream of tartar in the whites. Cardamom would be excellent in it!

One of my favorite just for me alcoholic drinks is home made chai tea with bourbon. YUMMMY!

Oh yeah, and the second flyer looks a lot better, the picture for bee aid beside all the text looks more interesting than just the text spread out.

I think promoting Bee Aid International is a great idea!

I'm not a fan of eggnog, but cardamon does sound like it'd be good in it.
