Cox, Jr. Subject: RE: (313) detroit party flyers I think part of the problem with flyer design, at least in the US, results from promoters trying to cram in ten different DJs/artists in one night (which results in a whole set of other problems). They feel compelled to list every name on the bill along with a page long bio (full of the most ridiculous hyperbole) of each person. Then the "crazy techno" graphic get added and top it all off with the other fine print: drink specials, time, date, directions, maps, cover charge (including split costs for ladies or time you enter), sponsors, and so much other miscellaneous b.s. you could never leave it as simple as this http://www.uniqueuncut.co.uk/Images/flyer_30_11_07.jpg bang- got the info I need I've always loved CO-OPs flyers (at least the ones I've seen) great design and usually very organic looking MEK "Robert Taylor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on 01/11/2008 10:44:14 AM: > XLR8R isn't European is it? > I'm not talking about the fashion magazines with the unreadable type - > just the standards > > > Rob Taylor > VT Librarian > x8599 > Hatch Desk x1088 > VT Library Users' Guide > > -----Original Message----- > From: Thomas D.
