Event Flyer Design for CYON St. Leo’s Parish

I was tasked with designing a flyer for CYON St. Leo’s Parish, a youth organization within the Catholic Church, to promote their September praise and worship fellowship titled “Praise-tember.” The aim was to create a visually engaging design that could raise awareness, reflect the spiritual mood of the event, and encourage youth participation, all in one glance.

Design Objective

The focus was to create a flyer that:

  • Felt inviting and uplifting

  • Had a clear structure for easy reading

  • Matched the tone of a youth-led worship event

  • Stood out while staying appropriate for a church setting

Design Process

1. Color Palette & Mood
I chose a deep navy blue background to convey calmness, depth, and reverence—balanced by golden brush textures to add a sense of celebration and energy. The combination brought both elegance and youthfulness to the design.

2. Typography
I used a mix of bold display fonts (for “Praise-tember”) and elegant serif/sans-serif fonts for the body text. This helped build a visual hierarchy—drawing attention first to the event name, then smoothly guiding the reader through the details.

3. Layout & Clarity

  • Information was kept centered and clean to avoid clutter.

  • Key event details—date, time, and venue—were clearly listed and easy to scan.

  • The final call-to-action (“COME, LET’S LIFT OUR VOICES AND HEARTS TOGETHER IN PRAISE!”) was styled to feel inviting and communal.

Tools Used

  • Canva for layout, font pairing, background effects, and image composition.
