When those books were written Vern was called crazy, ignorant, and a dreamer—yet the concepts in each book became a reality and are taken for granted today.Why do you care? Because you are a business owner with your own dreams, goals, and desires that you want to accomplish.

The first is that the design used in your advertising material is going to have a very large impact on the way that potential customers view your business. It may not seem that a flyer design would have much importance, but when the work is perceived as shoddy that is exactly the impression the reader will have of you. Color: keep your colors simple.

Unless your skilled at placing very subtle background imagery or can find a nice soft background color (ensight.org comes to mind) use white as your background color and stick to black for your text. Sometimes you can vary your colors for the text but for a beginner I’d warn against it. Don’t believe me, check out all the top sites: black text on white background for a reason. Also I’d recommend against using a black background with white text unless your really, really sure as well. Its not as easy on the eye to read, and whilst its a lot less offensive then say a purple background with bright yellow text, your better off with white background, black text. Customize: what ever you do, don’t leave the standard template that is provided by your blog provider or blogware as it is.

If you don’t have a photoshop-like program, try a program such as The Gimp which can be downloaded online. What you need to do is create a box and then, using color and text create a header. Think 1st grade level computer class (note though when I was in first grade they didn’t have computers in schools, but I’m sure kiddies would be taught this by now). Its really not too hard.
