Made for Lior's plan to flyer some neighborhoods next weekend. Thoughts, suggestions and ideas are all very welcome. To get them in time we need to order by Friday, just for a timeline.
Cheers,

Would we have a version that maybe has a more value heavy hue ("brighter")? These are my justifications:
The black text under sunlight on a gray background will make the light reflect from the gray and not much from the black making those details meld together or not show up for some folks.
If someone stops and reads (and doesn't have any variant color blindness) then this is a non-issue I'd think but I think making it "brighter" and more eye catching addresses two problems:
1) It makes you consider what information people need to know to be interested in the space so it might eliminate some of the text. The reason for this is that you have to pick what will have what importance once you leverage higher hues.
2) People who are running/biking by, a quality shared by a lot of folks Lior might post around his area will need to be caught by something and on a sunny day this will be drowned out but the saturation of the sun and at night maybe unreadable.
This is as much as I know about outside marketing and color theory so sorry if this feels incomplete.
Also I have been in this space for a year and a half now. A lot of the people in the space are very funny and quirky. Cracking jokes and doing silly things is at least in some part of the culture. Why is our marketing so neutral and mostly information focused? Is that really us appealing to the people who'd enjoy the environment?
Okay these are my million dollar thoughts. You're welcome for the morning TED talk.

ChatGPT and I made some color choices and I shortened the text.
Also, I will always show up for your TED talks Terence.

Ok.
Final (for this week at least) version, with a small box of info added at the bottom.

Thanks for doing this Ashely. Sorry to be late to the party/TED Talk. I know we are pushing sign up, but it seems like mentioning that people can tour might be helpful, even if it is just with a link and the QR code focuses on signup. My 2¢

I’m late too, but I thought maybe we could put an invitation there before all the information. Something like “come check us out!” or “ come join us!” or “we’d love to meet you; come take a look!”
I think in some ways that addresses Terrence’s comment about how lovely the people are. We’re a great group, and we’re inviting them in.

The QR code goes to this page: https://www.makehaven.org/open-tours
So, the first place someone lands from the flyer talks about both.
With that said, I think that page could deeply do with an update to be a landing page that encourages sign-ups & tours. If anyone has skills at front end design, I'd be more than happy to work together to make a mock-up.

Good idea on updating the tours page. It seems odd to me to say sign up and then go somewhere that doesn't let you sign up, but all the more reason to have a "Get Started Today/Become a Member Today" etc button on that page. Let's see if we can address this at the next staff meeting (and any non-staffers, please feel free to provide ideas!)

Sorry meant to reply all. One of the things I am is a frontend web developer so it is my specialty and I can help with the redesign.
