What gets your attention most in regards to rave flyers?

[PHOTONIC]

I was just wondering what people pay the most attention to when it comes to flyers. I usually first pay attention to the design. But then I get interested into whether or not the event is going to differentiate itself from other parties.

[klockwize]

my vote is all the above!

[mapleleaf4ever]

Initially if I see a name I recognize I'll pick one up. If it looks good and has a shit line-up... it stays on the Ground.

[LeeBrat]

i would also have to say al of the above, but i guess i notice the design/name first, and then the line-up :)

[diesskei]

Vivid Colors!

Just kidding.

I like seeing creative flyers. I find that ones lately have been getting pretty dull. I want to see one that will reflect the creativity of the party. But I find that visual stimulation has been lacking in the scene lately.

With the kind of trashy/slutty/whored-up females about it seems all the visual "stimulation" or "desensitization" (How ever you may view it) is being saved for the Party itself. lol

[zarlon]

i was gonna say naked ladies but then i realized most party flyers have some kind of "rave chick": on the cover now

so its kinda close. what is this, raves are turned all sexy? wtf

heh 14 year old skanks at an all night rave party

Doom likes a flyer that looks just plain weird, bonus points for the following as well:
-No dj/live pa bios
-No dj/live pa affiliations
-Genre that each dj/live pa plays, conviently placed beside their name on the flyer.
-Graphic viloence/gore somehow worked into the flyer design

[Bitchin]

Soemthing that looks unique... stands out from the rest.. isn't your regular flyer that just looks like everything else.

I'm not gonna lie.. but usually a bright color does catch the eye.

I guess basically how flyers were designed back in 1999/2000.

[wum]

the name. in Toronto they had a party called "cameltoe" haha

[sNyx]

my logo on the bottom corner :D
lol, j/k

[zeal_oner]

anyone remember the

FROSTEE 4 flyer E.T. bros

i think that was the coolest flyer...so big and silver...
one of the best parties i ever went 2

[lola_phyne]

An orginial concept for a flyer gets me more then anything. And those naked chicks on the front need to go.

[zeal_oner]

flyers are all the same now...
a flyer isnt gonna make me wanna go to a party

its the DJ's inside the fyler that draw me to parties now

Words of wisdom to live by:

Never go to a party where the flyer is bigger than your head.

Some of you will understand this. ;)

[miss.myra]

I like unique concepts, all of those big rave poster flyers with cheesy computer generated images do nothing for me.

Ones I can remember:

Jungle For Dummies (just all around well done, not huge, and also was funny)

Rinse (NYE party held in a laundrymat, so the flyers were little pieces of cotton that looked like tshirt tags. SO COOL)

Nickel Bag of Funk (little tiny flyers inside dimebags!)


Unique concepts are always totally memorable and eye catching. I think keeping it simple and small is also a huge bonus .

Rule 1:

Dont go to parties if the flyer is bigger than your head...

[acidic_liquid]

A combination. It has to be eye catching, so you'll notice it from a distance. An original design goes a long way, and the DJ lineup, music genre info, and promoter info should be on it. Sexual subliminal messages also help :)

Beat you too it, Rhia. :D

[spunsugar]

I remember cool ones like that myra. I still have one called house of love or something where it was a little package that had a condom inside. others too, I just can't remember them all right now.

if the flyer is big enough to line my drawers then it's too big.

[TrixX]

i'm gonna have to go with lineup.............i'm not gonna go to a party just 'cause the flyer looks nice!!!!

[clevich]

Althought the designs do seem to attract me, it's more of a personal thing because im into graphics. The Lineup is all about the party.

[ja_raul]

voted lineup. seems like half the people here judge a book by its cover.

itd be interesting to see the promoters to make small non-flashy flyers for the next decent rave. circumstances are obvious
