"All Aboard" Weekend Program

At Sean's encouragement, here's something that's in process that I don't like at all. After spending way too many non-billable hours trying to resolve my unhappiness on my own, I'm posting it here (which I should have done last week).

 

The church is doing a 6-week series called "All Aboard" about unity and momentum and commitment and adventure. The imagery is that of an old steam engine and passenger car. We want to make the program/bulletin look like an old train ticket. What I've got so far looks more "stage coach" than train ticket. Where am I going wrong?

 

I've selected a manila construction paper. It has a mottled look and fuzzy feeling, so I think we're communicating vintage through the tactile. They will be printed in-house on a color laser. They're not up for cutting them all down to achieve a full bleed, so they need at least a 1/4" margin.

 

The font used in the on-screen imagery is Century Schoolbook. Their brand font is Franklin Gothic family. Those are the two that are used here.

 

Help me take this all the way!
