Amateur designer here (5-ish years, no classes) looking to do graphic design odd jobs around my uni for pocket money. How readable/interesting is my flyer?
>readable
I can read it, so 100%?
>interesting
5-15%
You've got some conflicting shit going on, like the muted blue palette (which I actually like) vs the neon palette. And if you're going to defend that choice, stop yourself before typing anything because it's wrong.
Next, the two typefaces you went with are not friends. I can tell you right now that you aren't experienced enough to be pairing different sans together. Pick one.
More general nitpicks: Your copy sucks, but you're advertising gd services, not copywriting so whatever. The cut-off border looks like an error in cropping, and in print will look like a mistake in trimming. Your layout is dull and the misalignment on the "shirts logos..." line is wrong. You aligned with the graphic, when you should always prioritize aligning with text. And don't dump full-res shit here. There's no need for it, we're not your print shop. Especially a 1.4mb JPG when all this vector work could have been displayed better and lighter as a 600kb PNG.

readablity is like a 3/10
picture people are gonna at worst be trying to read your body copy at the 4chan preview size while walking, so no, its fuzzy, try something bolder, this is on an a4, no?
it looks very corporate for what is considered an artwank field, try something "different" to catch eyes
"graphic design" is a best a buzzword that people outside of the field do not commonly understand, be more clear about what you are selling
please take your preview images into photoshop or something and trim the fat, why does a 4chan image need to be 3k

Idk, muted blue seems kinda boring for the vibe I'm trying to achieve. Reminds me more of something I'd see on a business card, not a poster for 20-somethings. Alternatively, I need something that'll catch the eye of anyone walking by, and my retard brain jumped to bright colors.
It may be a bit much to ask, but why don't the two typefaces go together? Curvy vs. straight? I genuinely have no idea.

Would it make sense to cut all the filler text besides "Shirts Logos Posters" to make room for larger text?
I wanted to be upfront and bold with my idea (instead of starting with a shitty catchphrase or lingo at the top). I figured "graphic design" was clear enough. What's a better option?

You're better off using two faces from the same family. Anyhow, using a lowercase title and all caps body copy is not a thing. And yeah, stylistically they don't jive. You're pairing a bold geometric sans with multiple faces in a condensed sans family. They give off conflicting tones (lowercase, geometric = friendly, approachable, casual. condensed caps = dramatic, serious, striking). Pairing typefaces is an art form, but the fundamentals of typography are a settled matter. Get a copy of Bringhurst's "The Elements of Typographic Style" and read it. I've been designing for...fuck, a decade at the least, and I still reference my copy all the time.
Your poster could also benefit from a nice grid. I'll point you to Muller-Brockman's "Grid Systems (Raster Systeme)" for reference on that.

No classes is no excuse for this bullshit. You don't have the eye/talent for this. Stop making the world an uglier place.
