1. What Is a Bingo Flyer?
A bingo flyer is a piece of promotional material used to advertise an upcoming bingo event. It typically includes the event name, date, time, location, rules, and prizes that will be offered.
It is usually distributed through print or digital media such as email, social media, and websites. The flyer can also include images and graphics to make it more attractive to potential players. The purpose of a bingo flyer is to generate interest in the event and encourage people to attend.
2. How to Make a Bingo Card
Step 1
Create a new InDesign document, File > New > Document. Set the Width to 5 in and Height to 7 in. Margins should be 0.25 in on each side, with a 0.125 in Bleed.
Step 2
Make a New Color Swatch in the Swatches panel. Change the CMYK values to 100, 85, 0, and 61. Name this swatch "Dark Blue." Click Add.
Step 3
Add another Swatch using the values 0, 8, 36, and 0. Name this swatch "Light Yellow."
Step 4
Grab the Rectangle Tool (M) and make a shape that's 2.437 in Width and 2.62 in Height. Fill this shape with the Dark Blue swatch.
Step 5
Go to Object > Corner Options and change the Corner Shape to Rounded and the Size to 0.0625 in.
Step 6
Select the Type Tool (T) and type out the word "BINGO" at the top of the card. Use the font Nicko 43 pt and change the Fill to Light Yellow in the Swatches panel.
Step 7
Make a table by going to Table > Create Table. Change the Body Rows to 5 and the Columns to 5. Place your table underneath the BINGO header.
Step 8
Select the Table Frame and change the Fill to Paper and the Stroke to Dark Blue.
Step 9
Type out the numbers for your bingo card, and don't forget to type the word "Free" in the center. Use the fonts Nicko and Goster.
Step 10
Duplicate (Command-C then Command V) this bingo card and rotate it 6°. Apply a Drop Shadow (Object > Effects > Drop Shadow) to the second bingo card.
Step 11
Place the bingo cards in the lower right corner.
3. How to Make a Bingo Flyer Template
Step 1
Create a New Color Swatch using the values 99, 71, 0, and 28. Rename the swatch Blue. Take the Rectangle Tool (M) and Fill the background with Blue.
Step 2
Create a Circle using the Ellipse Tool (L). Fill the circle with the Blue swatch. Open the Effects panel and change the Transparency to Screen. Apply a Basic Feather with a Feather Width of 1.5722 in.
Step 3
Open the Paper Confetti 9.png file in Adobe Photoshop. Change the color mode to CMYK by going to Image > Mode > CMYK Color. Next, go to Image > Image Size and change the Resolution to 300. Save the file as a Tiff to your desktop.
Step 4
File > Place the confetti on your document. Change the Opacity to 60%. Apply a Gradient Feather to the confetti layer from the Effects panel.
Step 5
Type the word "Bingo" at the top of your flyer. Make a second copy of this layer by duplicating it (Command-C then Command-V). Place the second copy to the side; we will use it later. Use the Nicko font at 80 pt. Add three more swatches:
- Gold: 0, 14, 88, 22
- Dark Brown: 54, 56, 72, 29
- Light Brown: 31, 35, 59, 2
Fill the font with a Linear Gradient using the Dark Brown, Light Brown, and Light Yellow swatches. Change the Stroke to Gold.
Step 6
Apply a Drop Shadow effect to the Bingo text.
Step 7
Add an Inner Shadow.
Step 8
Add an Inner Glow using the C100 M0 Y0 K0 swatch.
Step 9
Add a Bevel and Emboss.
Step 10
Add a Satin effect.
Step 11
Take the second copy of the Bingo text layer, Fill it with Dark Blue, and change the Stoke to Dark Blue. Move it so that it's behind the first Bingo text layer.
Step 12
Repeat these same steps for the word "Night." But instead of using a gradient for the Fill, use the Paper swatch. Use the font Goster 86 pt. Change the Bevel and Emboss to these settings. Use C100 M0 Y0 K0 for the Hue swatch.
Step 13
Change the Rotation Angle and the Shear X Angle to 5°.
Step 14
Use the Sonner Bold 10 pt font and type out the subhead, "GAMES. FUN. PRIZES."
Step 15
Fill out the rest of the information for your bingo flyer.
Step 16
Open the Ball PSD file in Photoshop and change the mode to CMYK Color. Save this file as a Tiff to your desktop.
Step 17
Open the Ball PSD file in Photoshop again, changing the mode to CMYK Color. Double-click the ball layer in the Layers panel and add a Color Overlay. Use this color red: #ed1c24.
Step 18
Add Brightness/Contrast and Hue/Saturation adjustment layers, and then Right-Click > Create Clipping Mask. Use these settings:
- Brightness: -25
- Contrast: 0
- Hue: +108
- Saturation: -100
- Lightness: -41
Save this file as a Tiff to your desktop.
Step 19
Make a blue ball using the same adjustment layers, but change the Color Overlay to #4779bd and the Lightness to -8. Save this file as well.
Step 20
File > Place these gold, blue, and red balls onto your bingo flyer.
Step 21
Apply a Drop Shadow to the balls to add depth.
Step 22
Make a circle using the Ellipse Tool (L) on top of one of the red balls, and Fill it with the Paper swatch.
Step 23
Change the Transparency Mode to Overlay with an Opacity of 73%.
Step 24
Duplicate this circle, but make it smaller than the last one. Change the Fill to None and the Stroke to Paper. Add these two circles to the rest of the bingo balls.
Step 25
Add numbers to the bingo balls, but change the Transparency to Color Burn. Use Dark Blue for the font color.
