The battle is lost:

But the war has just begun.

I kid, of course. Congrats to team 'Archten', their great presentation to Trevor and Lucy, and their victory mugs. I reckon if we'd had a bit more (i.e. any) rehearsal, we would've done much better - I was sorta expecting Tevin and Geewai to butt in at some point, because to be honest, I couldn't remember which bits they were supposed to do. And it would've been a bit weird if I'd just stopped talking halfway through.

That aside, it's flyer time, again, and again I've been messing with colours and general design. I've bumped up the contrast in my main design (the background is now more 'black' than 'grey'), which I reckon should look great on some glossy paper. I've also added a pencil, in accordance with the client's wishes; unfortunately, it doesn't fit in very well. This seems to be a problem with my designs in general: they look great when I first make them, but as soon as I need to add something unexpected, they're ruined.
Well, anyway, here's a couple of new options, in ultra-black, and a blue version I don't like so much:

Somehow, blue doesn't seem to work - which is strange, because it's how the design started out.  Trevor and the Eggheads don't fit in just sitting up there floating next to the title, and I'd rather give them some proper rectangular picture frames on the back, although I apparently don't have much choice in the matter. If it's really, really that important, I could re-do the layout on the front completely, but there's no way I'll end up with something better looking than the original.

I also have a quick one I made to get the pencil to fit in better. Looks terrible though:

And the pencil's missing ;)

Overall, I think it's best to go with black, and try to add colour with pictures. I'm also wondering if it should be a leaflet. But it seems these things are out of my control.
