Im a tech i understand logic and all that jazz, creativity is not my strong suit at all i cant even draw a straight line lol

I have this brochure please provide your honest opinions, i was going to make 5000 of them so dont want to invest in a crap advertisement

Its soooooooo hard to find a program that i can use to make brochures with :eek:

The other part is, i considered hiring a person but they are quite expensive and even if i do i cant really provide input as i dont even know how i want it i just want it to appeal to our clients

Pretty good list of items that you repair. The thing is, I don't imagine that you would get a lot of console repairs, and that is your entire first page. The services I would imagine that you want to target are computer repair, computer services, and web design.

If my NES broke, I would check ebay or a local game store. I can't imaging that there are a lot of consoles that people fix.

Mobile repairs, like Apple iPhones and Samsung Galaxys, are more likely.

Your good stuff is at the end.

Personally, and I don't want you take this the wrong way, it needs quite a bit of work. There is a lot of services that you offer, I just don't think it is presented the right way.

No problem i dont take it the wrong way, do you mind informing me of the best way to present it and i can TRY to change it

I don't mind trying.

Personally, and this might be completely wrong, but your first tab on the second page had all video game repairs. Personally, unless you get a lot of video game repairs, I wouldn't bother. I don't recall a huge market for RROD on Xbox 360s, and that was the big one. NES and other old consoles won't be huge moneymakers, so I would put things like that at the bottom priority. I don't know that market that much, so take it for what it is worth.

Your best services, in my opinion, are on the last page; the Computer Repair and the Web Design. Those should be at the top of the list, or in this case the first panel on the page. If I open up the brochure, I would think to myself: "Oh, this guy has a lot of video game stuff, oh and computer repair.... he seems to be more of a video game tech, so...." Whereas if the pages were moved around a little bit, I would think: "Neat, he does computer repair, and website design. He can help me with a website and fix my 4 year old computer that probably has viruses. Oh, and he will do my son's old xbox 360 that just Red Ringed. Great!" (This might not be true, but first impressions matter).

On the front page, there are some empty spots that Mark brought up that need to be filled in as well.

Hope I helped!
 
Just commenting on the "look" and not the content...
The inside (2nd page) looks nice.
The back (front page middle) has a lot of white, but it's the back of the folded brochure, so probably ok.
Its the front (right side of front page) that people see first and needs work.
I would focus on that first.
I wouldn't use the logo at the top.
I would just type the company name, then have the tag line below. No phone number.
I'm not sure about the other stuff on that front fold, but that is what I'd focus on first. Very nice overall though!
 
Personally I would recommend working with a local graphic designer to design this for you. I am sure it will be worth the $100-200 to make it very professional looking and will look better to your prospects or existing customers.
 
Page 1 needs work.

Have you been to fiverr.com? These folks will do anything for $5 including make you a fantastic brochure or flyer. I had mine made by someone on fiverr, very pleased!
