Jimmy, as far as the flyer goes I dig it! Honestly, I wish I had something so simple and strait forward for my clients and for the many inquiries that I have on my pricing. I'm a firm believer in pricing each shoot for the specific job. But for basic work, such as portrait photo shoots, having a pricelist that's clear and simple like this is a great way to filter out people who are good potential clients and people who are not looking for a photographer in your pricerange. Expect to see me rip off some ideas from your flyer. You've really inspired me to finally make something for this purpose.
As far as the comments about the design, color choices, ect. Just remember who your clients are and what's important to them. Your clients are not critiquing your design skills or the design skills of your designer roommate. They are looking for the design to be "better than MS Paint". They don't want a cheesy flyer with horrible fonts and no rhyme or reason for the layout. Just like when they look at your photos, they want it to "looks good" to them. If the flyer makes them "feel good" about hiring you than it did the job. THis flyer seperates Jimmy from 90% of the garbage FB and Craigslist photographers and gives a sense of professionalism to expect from his company. More importantly, the client wants two things: 1. to see some of your work and to know that they will like your quality of work - in Jimmy's flyer the photo of his GF alone would have me ready to hire him! Such a great shot! 2. They want to know what it will cost them and what they will get in return, to make sure that they can afford you and that it's worth the money. All of that is attained in this flyer.
IN SUMMARY:
1. You're not going to lose a client because of using "Stars" and corresponding colors for the package names.
and
2. Stars are Gangster.
