JDK Real Estate Flyer & Postcard

Here is a project for a real estate agent working through JDK & Associates Realty. The smaller piece is a postcard mailer and the larger piece is a flyer to handout for an open house. Even though they have different purposes, they both maintain a consistent look that ties them together.

The Flat Trend

Graphic Design goes through trends, much like any other avenue of society. Fashion, movies, shows, language, music...it all goes through trends regularly. Design is no different.

The trend right now is being called "The Flat Trend". No drastic gradients, no chisels, no drop shadows...just clean typography and imagery. You can see it in the redesign of many large corporations' logos. It's been going on for some time, but I wanted to bring it up to see what people prefer.

Here are some notable examples:

Transformation in a Man's Life Poster

This is the poster for the current Men's Breakfast at GHCC. With a theme about being transformed, I decided to go with the imagery of a blacksmith working with metal. It's a great picture of the process of transformation. I gave the title the "Transformers" treatment to have some fun with it, catch people's eye with a recognizable logotype, and because it tied in great to the metal-worker image I was using.
