hi comrades
does anyone know a good place to get leaflet/newsletter templates for photoshop?
Or has anyone used a template they are happy sharing?
Writing leaflets on gentrification and a newsletter so looking to adapt an existing template, as I have no design skills - any links appreciated!

Being a graphics guy, I'd recommend that you give GIMP a try: https://www.gimp.org/
It's very good for one-page needs and doesn't require a lot of learning for doing something as basic as a leaflet. Everything you need is accessible from the menus. You can create your own template(s) for future usage, or just re-save your first design and spin-off a second design from that, etc.
At most you'd have to know how your particular system handles fonts.
Maybe try 150 dpi as a minimum, so that an 8-1/2-by-11-inch document resolves to 1275 x 1650 pixels, or 1240 x 1754 pixels for A4-sized paper.
Keep each project in its own folder, and keep copy (source text) in text files, for flowing into text blocks on the document.

SovietBritain asked for templates, for photoshop- not a new program to not have templates in.

When I was more active I used to make leaflets every now and again for whatever campaign I was involved in. What sort of stuff are you looking for? None of mine were professionally made, I would literally just cobble them together. If you really want, pm me your email and I'll send whatever I've got on this laptop your way.

Not to hijack this thread, but it would be neat to have a template database here on the forum for people to use when needed.

Fucking photoshop is like $600 plus $50 a month for upgrades you could pirate it but unless we put links to the pirate bay alongside the templates they're pretty worthless.
Besides aren't memes the new pamphlets anyway?
