Announcements
Show announcements are very important publicity. Sending a well-designed announcement to everyone on an extensive mailing list is an ideal way to get your work known to art professionals. As a form of advertisement, your announcement communicates information about your work in your own words.

Your announcement must cover these key points:
1. Artist(s)’ Name(s)
2. Name of the exhibit
3. Dates Showing
4. Name of gallery, location, or web site
5. Address
6. Phone number or e-mail address
7. Regular gallery hours, for exhibitions
8. Reception date and time, if any

Things to consider about costs:
Design fees
Printing cost
Postage

Things to consider about design:
Best to use visuals rather then words when possible
Collect examples of other design announcements you like
Put attention into text type
Carefully choose color scheme
Sketch out layout before taking time to create
