Tonight's Deal
You Leave With Four Things.
- One completed flyer concept, built live in front of you
- One reusable master prompt you'll run for every flyer from now on
- One targeted revision prompt that fixes without redesigning
- One quality-control checklist you run before anything gets posted
Part 1 · 0–10 min
Why Most AI Flyers Look Cheap.
Weak flyers start with weak instructions. Let's look at the instruction almost everybody types.
The Weak Prompt
Sound Familiar?
"Make me a professional flyer for an AI workshop with speakers, technology graphics, event information, and a registration button."
Looks reasonable. Fails every time. Here's why.
What That Prompt Forces the AI to Invent
Every Decision You Didn't Make.
- Your audience
- Your headline
- The visual hierarchy
- The layout
- The number of speakers
- Who matters most on the flyer
- The colors
- The typography
- The photography
- The call to action
"When you leave every decision to the AI, you don't get design. You get decoration."
Weak vs. Strong · Live Comparison
Look at These Two Flyers.
- What's the first thing you notice?
- How fast do you understand the offer?
- Is there one focal point, or five fighting each other?
- Can you find the CTA without hunting?
- Does it feel intentional, or filled with random elements?

The Core Principle
A professional flyer isn't merely attractive. It communicates the right information, in the right order.

F · Foundation
Five Questions Before You Generate Anything.
- What is being promoted?
- Who is it for? (Specific. Not "entrepreneurs.")
- Why should they care?
- Where will they see the flyer?
- What should they do next?
F · Foundation · Your Turn (2 min)
Fill In the Blanks.
This flyer promotes __________
to help __________
achieve __________.
After seeing it, they should __________.
Workbook page: Foundation worksheet. Type yours in the chat if you want feedback.
F · The Rule
One flyer. One purpose. One CTA.
Register, call, subscribe, follow, visit three websites, and DM me? That flyer has no clear action.
L · Lock the Message · 18–28 min
Four Levels of Information. In Order.
- Level 1: Headline. The main idea in 3–10 words
- Level 2: Supporting promise. One short sentence on the benefit
- Level 3: Essential details. Date, time, place. Only what they need to act
- Level 4: CTA. One action, visually distinct
L · Live Exercise
The Copy-Reduction Drill.
The Mess
"Join us for an amazing one-day virtual summit where six experienced business owners will teach you how to improve your marketing, sales, automation, content, funnels, and client follow-up."

L · The Rule
The flyer is not the landing page.
Bios, agendas, disclaimers, and feature lists live on the landing page or in the caption. Not on the flyer.
Checkpoint
Quick Questions Before We Go Visual.
Drop them in the chat. 2–3 minutes, then we build the visual system.
Y · Your Visual System · 28–38 min
"Make It Professional" Isn't Direction.
- Pick one design direction: luxury editorial, business authority, wellness, community event...
- Don't stack six unrelated directions and hope they blend
- "Luxury editorial with restrained tech cues" works. "Luxury, playful, corporate, futuristic, spiritual" doesn't
Y · The Palette Rule
Four Colors. Each With a Job.
- One dominant color — example: #5F16EB
- One accent color — example: #A884FF
- One or two neutrals — example: #F8F7FC background, #17141F text
- Give exact hex codes when brand accuracy matters. Say which color dominates and where the accent shows up
Y · Typography
Describe the Job, Not Just a Font Name.
- "Bold condensed sans-serif headline"
- "Clean sans-serif event details"
- "Strong size contrast, consistent alignment"
- "No script fonts, no metallic bevels, no fake 3D lettering"
- Need an exact typeface? Add it in a design app after. Don't assume the AI nails it
Y · Composition
Every Flyer Needs These Six Things.
- One dominant focal point
- A clear headline area
- A subject or central visual
- Event info grouped together
- A CTA that belongs to the design
- Safe space around every edge
Y · Your Turn (3 min)
Choose Your Six.
- Design direction
- Main color
- Accent color
- Headline type style
- Subject position
- CTA position

Live Build #1:
The Single-Person Flyer.
Fictional fitness event. "STRONG AT EVERY AGE." Watch every decision as I make it.
E · The Prompt, Deconstructed
Ten Parts, In This Order.
- 1 · Purpose
- 2 · Format (4:5 portrait)
- 3 · Subject
- 4 · Setting
- 5 · Composition
- 6 · Typography
- 7 · Exact copy, in quotes
- 8 · CTA treatment
- 9 · Constraints (the "do not" list)
- 10 · Output type: one standalone flyer
E · The Teaching Point
Explain the Why, Not Just the Where.
Weak
"Put the woman on the right."
Strong
"Place the woman on the right so the left side stays clear for an oversized headline."
The model follows layout decisions better when the relationships between elements are clear.
E · Screen Share
[LIVE BUILD #1]
- Run the full single-person prompt in ChatGPT
- Read the result against the brief, out loud
- Point out what the constraints prevented
Part 4 · 52–68 min
Multi-Speaker Flyers.
Summits, panels, and workshops. Harder, because every additional person competes for attention.
The Layout Picker
Match the Layout to the Headcount.
- 2 people: split layout, title in the center
- 3 people: triangle, or one headliner plus two
- 4 people: two-by-two grid, equal everything
- 5–6 people: one featured, the rest underneath
- 7–12 people: speaker grid, names only, brand leads
- 12+: stop cramming. Split into a flyer series
Real People, Real Rules
Headshot Rules That Aren't Optional.
- Use actual, approved headshots. Label every image by number and person
- Say who's the headliner, and whether billing is equal
- Consistent crops, consistent lighting treatment
- Confirm names match faces. Nobody omitted, nobody duplicated
- If AI changed somebody's identity, that flyer doesn't ship
The Escape Hatch
Identity has to be perfect? Generate the layout, then place the original photos yourself.
E · Screen Share
[LIVE BUILD #2]
The Six-Speaker Summit.
The Revenue Systems Summit. One host, five speakers, every name under the correct face.
Multi-Person Quality Check
Before You Accept the Result.
- Correct number of people
- Correct name under each person
- No duplicated faces
- No missing speaker
- No blended features
- Consistent portrait scale
- Deliberate headliner hierarchy
- Names legible on a phone
- Event title stays dominant
- CTA visible, not competing
R · Review & Refine · 68–78 min
Controlled Revisions.
The Wrong Way
"I don't like it. Make it better and more professional."
That's an invitation to a full redesign.
The Right Way
"Reduce the headline by 15 percent."
"Change only the CTA typography."
"Correct the spelling of the website."
One specific problem at a time.
R · The Revision Prompt
Change This. Preserve Everything Else.
Edit the attached flyer. Change only the following:
1. [SPECIFIC CHANGE]
2. [SPECIFIC CHANGE]
Preserve every person, face, pose, headline, date, color, background, crop, layout, and all unmentioned elements exactly.
Do not redesign the flyer. Do not add text, icons, logos, decorations, or new people.
R · The Fix Order
Structure First. Cosmetics Last.
- 1 · Missing or incorrect information
- 2 · Speaker identity
- 3 · Composition
- 4 · Information hierarchy
- 5 · Text accuracy → typography → color → tiny details
Final QC · 78–85 min
Two Tests Before You Post.
The Five-Second Test
Show it for five seconds. What is this? Who's it for? When is it? What do I do next? Can't answer? Not ready.
The Thumbnail Test
Shrink it to phone-feed size. Headline readable? Faces recognizable? CTA legible? One focal point still standing?
Final QC · The Checklist
Message. Design. Accuracy. Technical.
- Message: one objective, one audience, one dominant headline, one CTA
- Design: clear hierarchy, controlled palette, deliberate negative space, no random AI decorations
- Accuracy: spelling, date, time zone, website, right names under right faces
- Technical: dimensions, aspect ratio, safe margins, readable on a phone
Full checklist is in your workbook. Run it every time.
The Close
AI can generate the photography, the composition, the typography. But somebody still decides what matters, what leads, and what gets cut. That somebody is the art director. That's you now.
