how about a flyer highlight thread

 

just a off the cuff thread asking r each member to post up one flyer that has impressed you recently

and words as well

 

 

to start...

 

the one below led me to start this thread...

so must have impressed me...

 

 

 

top tip

 

rather than upload flyer the best way may be to get the flyers url 

eg

https://music.telasource.netdna-cdn.com/monthly_01_2014/event-29956-0-45568400-1389123051.jpg

then post it via the image icon in the editor toolbar

I like ours, my daughter did it for us,

liked this one (which i found on soul-source) so much i had it made into a poster for my bedroom! hope the owner of the image doesn't mind :-)

 

for anyone that is curious, i had it made at Costco.com. it was cheap! and they mail it to your house. and it is actually printed onto a canvas that is stretched over a wooden frame. really nice service for the price (i do NOT work for costco, btw!)

yep agree, two great highlights

 

any more worthwhiel of a mention out there... ?

Ive just started designing a few myself. It really is amazing how these graphic programmes work. Due to my illness I have quite a lot of time on my hands, but let me tell you, you need it if your learning from scratch. If anyone wants to give me a challenge, I`ll have a go. Below is a sample.

I would like, if poss, to know who does the art work for some of these flyers. Some of them really are first rate. Works of art. The software is one thing but IMHO you need a real talent too.

 

Bri, Do you know what software your daughter used, and how did she master it to that level?

Photoshop is the premium software, but is pricey, and very complicated if your new to it. Personally I find the GIMP 2.8 software just as good, still hard to work out at the beginning, the bonus is its a free download.

I have to say I like our new ones. Designed by my mate Marcus at Mammoth Creative Works in Cannock

Your flyer caught my eye the other day - you'll be pleased to know!

 

Sounds like you had the professionals on the case. Doesn't surprise me at all - a really professional job.

this ones for the Stables this year photos say it all

 

Here's two done in the last year for nights I do here in Copenhagen. The first done by my wonderful girlfriend

Sadly short lived 'Sweetest Feeling' stuck with a theme.

 

Cheers MB, come and see us sometime

Once again excellent flyers.

 

But also something funny here. I live on Dagger Lane in West Bromwich. Pretty unusual name - I think there are only 3 in the whole U.K. I knew there was a Dagger Lane in Hull but no idea there had ever been a soul do there.

 

I think that's called synchronicity isn't it!

Seems that a lot of folks are impressed by their own flyers - come on folks - the idea is flyers that are different to the norm....

My first ever niter. Caught my eye. :-)

The flyers/posters for the Dig Deeper nights in New York are always fantastic in my opinion.

 

 

lol...yeah most are their own..not gonna put ours up   but love the dig deeper above,got the Barbara lynn in a record I bought from him

Does that mean there are no more then Mark? Was dissappointed the one for this Friday was cancelled, but didn't realise that was it for good! Damn Shame.

 

sorry for going slightly off Topic Mike!

Seb those are fantastic, a Right Visual Paradise! Love a blast of saturated colour, but also like the Black and white , Paste and cut drawn ones...

 

My first ever niter. Caught my eye. :-)

Now that's what a flyer should look like!

 

 

And no I am not a luddite...........I work in print/packaging design so always have a "professional" view on any printed material......

Absolutely fantastic artwork. They'd make a great series of posters.

I liked the last Majestic Soul flyer. Sadly no longer able to attend this event.  

 

Edit Nor it seems to upload the flyer. Oh well take my word for it, it looked good!

Thanks for the kind words on the Dig Deeper flyers, since Day 1 way back in the summer of 2008 they've all been done by our good friend Marco, would highly recommend him to any of you looking for design work, you can hit him up at soulmarcosa@earthlink.net.

 

And most of them are still available for purchase as posters, thick glossy stock and look great, know a fair few friends around the world have done a "wall" of them, drop a PM if you're interested!.

Hope Andy Hudson posts some of the offerings from NY Rare Soul Revue at Tadcaster - great imaginative art work with excellent layout.
