>>If you could send me the SPECIFICS of the flyer, I might have a spare hour 
>>or so to design one. Specifics include:
>>
>>- paper size (I understand you want two flyers on one page and then one 
>>cut so you have two flyers. In this case, send me the size of the complete 
>>page that is going to host two flyers)
>>- one or two sided flyer?
>>- text (preferably EXACT text of what you want on flyer)
>>- design wannahaves on the flyer
>>- logo's/links
>>
>>Don't have a lot of time. Prefer to do something in the lines of the 
>>previous poster 
>>(http://www.game-accessibility.com/pics/artwork/futureplayposter.pdf), 
>>like:
>>
>>- 4 target groups
>>- main problems with the four target groups
>>- simple solutions for these problems
>>
>>Send me hi-res copies of logos (Eelke: your website?) if anyone wants 
>>their on the flyer. I want to put the GA.com logo on the flyer as well.
>>
>>I might be able to work on this tomorrow so please send me info! (or wiki
