Crunch Time Project Completed


This is an example of a pre-sale flyer that Shaffer Design Works completed for a book that will be published in a couple of weeks. This flyer design and layout was turned quickly to meet a tight deadline for a presentation given at the Cleveland Clinic. The pre-sale flyer features and highlights a book about a fitness program that explains and walks a novice or fitness expert through a twelve week permanent fat loss and weight management program. The author of the book is one of the top 100 trainers in the United States.
