Well that all depends on what you are looking for in a flyer and if that's even important to you. Last I checked I never was drawn to attend an event based on the designers skills in photoshop.
With that being said, I haven't found a flyer to touch what my crew came up with for our event 8 years ago. It was a little shindig with DBX, Shake, Shawn Rudiman and company. We called it "I love techno", not orginal, but this was 2000. It was a homage to the 'I love New York" tourist campaign of the early 80's. In keeping with the campaign's theme the flyers were bumper stickers, so even if you lost the backing or never saw the line-up, you had the date and time of when it was going down. Simple, effective and I still see the flyers on cars all over the country to this day, mine included. jw On Jan 11, 2008 11:32 AM, Robert Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Sorry, I was referring to the 90s. > > I know I'll get flamed for this but US graphic design is way behind that > of Europe's > The magazines in America are shocking! > > > Rob Taylor > VT Librarian > x8599 > Hatch Desk x1088 > VT Library Users' Guide > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 11 January 2008 16:29 > To: Robert Taylor > Cc: 313@hyperreal.org; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; /0 > Subject: RE: (313) detroit party flyers > > Really?
