First off, I get it. Most dance music events have this dark thing going on...I mean, most of the places are dark and there are sometimes lasers involved. Also, a lot of the music includes dark and foreboding samples and noises, in some cases from sci-fi or horror movies. Believe me, I get it. So the first thing that blows me away is this need to make this flyer just so dark and evil. In the quest for dark evil, it has also made the flyer hard to read. The font use is OK (IMO) but at the same time it is both too dark and too small. I hope they didn't send this one off to press or worse, just make copies of it at Kinko's, cuz it would seem to me that it would be a nightmare to print. I would've also rearranged the informational texts, i.e. dates, place, venue info and put them in different places. One other thing, I'm not sure what a fluorescent spider-looking blob has to do with any kind of idea for a Sin City theme. I've heard that it's best to maintain some sort of theme when making a flyer for a recurring event so you have easier product identification among the stacks of flyers at your local counterculture/record shop, so I'm curious to see what the other flyers for this looked like. No me gusta.
