BognorBootleggersParticipantI’ve started on a flyer for a night that I will hopefully be doing I have a trail run to do first but I’m pretty confident that will go well. So I want your feedback is there to much of anything, or do you not like certain things, colour scheme, what do you think of the logo, positioning of items, etc.

Oh yeah I added the acapellas4u logo on there to… do we get the 50 bonus downloads for putting it on flyers or posters?
Another quick little note the website isn’t up yet and our myspace hasn’t been sorted yet.

BuBaParticipantI wanted to say b4 my connection droped is that words are a bit to flashy for me. But generaly very good concept.

BognorBootleggersParticipantOk I will have to convert the text into a picture first as its part of the font but will try that thanks, maybe i could have some bits with the lines to highlight certain things.

anisinaParticipantI like the acapellas4u robot in the top left.

The words don’t seem to attract you. They just seem to hit you with a lot of visual information which the brain has to then filter out. Maybe more darkness in "welcome to the mad mix-up….." paragraph, and replace the black lines of the ‘Vs’ paragraph with black fill and then the colours of the previous fill for the outer lines. Or, make the coloured ‘fills’ darker.
Or, you can forget what i’ve said and do what you want.

BognorBootleggersParticipant[quote quote="mrjynx":105gwa4e]no offence to your flyer skill Bognor, but I still wouldnt bother reading it… the bognor part of your names hardly visible, all I`m getting from a quick scan is bootlegger…
I think there still looks to be too much text & theres no strong image that I can associate with you…
I also think the scattered text looks messy.. You have a little recycle image by your name, do you plan to use it?
Ie do you want that to be associated with you? if so then I think it needs to be bigger…
that said, I do quite like it, its organic…
I’ m only trying to be constructively critical, not critical, if my post sounded like that, do apologise…[/quote:105gwa4e]
No offence taken what would be the point of me asking foe opinions if all I wanted was people lying saying how great it looks, if thats not how they feel about it.
I have to say i was getting to the point of thinking theres too much text and not a big enough visual aspect.
The recycle sign is supposed to be hanging of the g on the title, which must be less obvious than i thought, i quite liked the title but i do agree you can’t see the bognor part very well (maybe thats a good thing
). I felt that you would see the logo once in detail (like on a poster) and then recognise it from a distance.Hey i’m no artists havn’t done this stuff for years so all feedback to improve it is welcome particuarlly on the logo as i dont wont to be changing that in the future it needs to be a key focus point

Soon as i get round to making some more changes i will put it online with your link

davefjParticipantHi fella.
The stencil text is kinda difficult to read and I think you have too much text on there. Gotta remember the 3 sec piss head rule…
You come out of a club, a bit worse for drink. Someone gives you a flyer that is all text and the attention span goes straight away and you pay it little attention.
This is something I always work on when designing flyers.
Also in the bottom text there is an "e" in "You’re" (I know that’s just a pedantic spelling issue, sorry)
Have you thought of going for a nice colourfull image to grab people’s attention?
The Bognor Bootlegger logo is nice
AdSense 336x280February 5, 2007 at 12:18 pm #612224
BognorBootleggersParticipanthey davefj never heard of that rule before but sounds like a good rule to stick by. Like your avatar to looks like a good flyer in its self.
I have thought about an image but not sure what to do. I thought there might be a spelling mistake or two in there somewhere my spelling is awful and didn’t run it through a spell checker, but that’s easily fixed.
So are we thinking remove that main body text (welcome to the…). What about the ‘vs’ list. Make it shorter, I’ve tried with that in that list to choose the tracks carefully as selected a number of bootlegs they may recognise that people like and have been played in local clubs plus others that have certain artists to attract certain types of people.

davefjParticipantThe pisshead rule isn’t an "official rule" but works well as a rough guide line.
In regard image ideas have a look at other bootleg/mash up nights for ideas…

Obviously, from a design point of view, don’t just nick another nights images but other night’s images might give you some inspiration

BognorBootleggersParticipantohhh! now mines put to shame
AdSense 336x280February 9, 2007 at 8:27 pm #612663
BognorBootleggersParticipantOk new design totally people, this is very very early stages just an idea for now.
Basically I’m taking real life object’s (mainly musical ones, such as a midi controller in this case) then changing all the text logo and what have to information about the night with some basic text around it (which isn’t there yet). So I’m recycling and customising the equipment a bit like you do in a bootleg (maybe more like a remix as (oh! that’s just given me loads more ideas… ahh overload!) I’ve not borrowed anything thing from anywhere else)
Anyway just wanna get first impressions from you guys so I know if it’s worth going ahead with, you will see I’ve changed the word Edirol to Mud Club all the text will be altered in much the same way.
