Printing that will cost a lot. Sorry lol, I did business in my IT course so I kinda think about these things automatically now!

That image is too small to be printed really. For example: A4 is 3508x2480 px & your image is 1200x800 px. Which means that not only pixelation will occur but the aspect ratio is off.

Here is your image on the scale of landscape A4 paper (saved at max quality in Photoshop, it's nearly 2Mb)

Notice the white at the bottom, as mentioned, this is due to the aspect ratio being off.

Also, the red hurts my eyes.

not to be harsh but i think you need to hear it , the leaflet looks like a 12 year old made it in 10 minuits. looks cheap and if your giving these out for people to buy your product, make it look professional. i personaly wouldn't invest my money in a company which cant do a professional leaflet.

I agree but I also think it looks pretty standard for this type of thing...imagine it on shiny paper, you've seen hundreds of the things no better quality than that.

You'd think people would take more time on it :P

IMHO, as mentioned - keep the costs down. I mean people get given flyers and just put them in the bin. Sure enough the better they look the more chances people will look at them, but still about 60-70% of people probably wont read them if you hand them out.
