Fusion Dreams Flyer Appreciation Thread

The other day I was slightly annoyed to find a Fusion Dreams flyer on the windshield of my car the other day after an event. Since I'm not the type to just throw flyers on the ground, I took it home with the intention of recycling it... I am so glad I did that. The other day before chucking it I decided to stop and take a look. Oh how I laughed. Everytime I look at the thing I see more errors on it. Let's see if we can spot them all! (I know this is only a stupid rave flyer but this is just out of hand.. and by out of hand I mean deliciously hilarious)

Front:
-Nothing really wrong here, except that Solid's URL is off-center
-Update: Maritime is spelled "MARTITINE"


Inside:
OK, this is where it get's rough..
-None of the DJ pics align properly to the names or bios.
-None of the DJ bios (except Hyperfunk's) align properly to the DJ names.
-The letterspacing on Kayu vs Albert's affiliations is really spaced out, while the letterspacing on all the other affiliations is all crammed tightly
-Update: Shy Brothers are the only headliners with their names capitalized
-Jimmy Chou is spelled "JImmy Chou"
-"House | Breaks/DnB | Progressive" is not centered under Area Two (speaking of which, I like how they group breaks and dnb like that, as if they're the same genre)
-The outlines on the locals in the main room are thicker than the outlines on the locals in the second room
-Christian Alvarez's name is spelled wrong (on his name, and website address)
-and once again, Solid's URL is off centre


Back:
-Abbotsford is spelled "Abbotsfo"
-Railway is spelled "Rialway"
-This probably isn't a mistake, but I don't get the whole "Price - Ticket Prices", "Info - Info | Line", and "Venue - Venue" headings... they're just funny
(You'll actually need a copy of the flyer to spot these)

PS: This thread is not meant to be anti-solid in any way. I'm sure the flyer had to be rushed and as a reult was produced sloppily, but I'll stil have a laugh at it. Great marketing on Solid's behalf.. I mean, I'm making a thread about this aren't I?

nah, Escape's flyer cover is by far one of the best I have seen all year, if not longer. siiickness. kudos to that designer.

fusion is very nice, dont get me wrong. but more of the same. could have redone the orange year into blue and nobody would be the wiser.

Isn't that more or less what they did? Same models at least anyway.

UPDATE: How could I have missed this? MARITIME is spelled wrong on the front of the flyer! (spelled MARTITINE)

ever seen an XTScene club flyer? they're all the same and they pull in a good crowd. It IS pretty funny as to how many typos there are, and basic formatting/layout mistakes there are. But there have been worse that people don't bother pointing out anymore. such as repeated dj bios under the wrong dj's.

Regardless, this is the most amount of errors on a single flyer that I've seen in a LONG time (if not ever)... not to mention that they are hilarious errors like MARTITINE Labour Centre.

whoops I regret to inform everyone I thought this thread was going another way. after careful reading of the initial post I withdraw my clueless reply. however I retain the kudos for the Escape flyer. its the tops.
