Mike Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 how about a flyer highlight thread just a off the cuff thread asking r each member to post up one flyer that has impressed you recently and words as well to start... the one below led me to start this thread... so must have impressed me... top tip rather than upload flyer the best way may be to get the flyers url eg https://music.telasource.netdna-cdn.com/monthly_01_2014/event-29956-0-45568400-1389123051.jpg then post it via the image icon in the editor toolbar

Ljblanken Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) liked this one (which i found on soul-source) so much i had it made into a poster for my bedroom! hope the owner of the image doesn't mind :-) for anyone that is curious, i had it made at Costco.com. it was cheap! and they mail it to your house. and it is actually printed onto a canvas that is stretched over a wooden frame. really nice service for the price (i do NOT work for costco, btw!) https://www.costcophotocenter.com/Shop/CanvasPrints#/ Edited January 8, 2014 by ljblanken
Mike Posted January 14, 2014 Author Posted January 14, 2014 yep agree, two great highlights any more worthwhiel of a mention out there... ?
Harry Crosby Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Ive just started designing a few myself. It really is amazing how these graphic programmes work. Due to my illness I have quite a lot of time on my hands, but let me tell you, you need it if your learning from scratch. If anyone wants to give me a challenge, I`ll have a go. Below is a sample.

Mike I would like, if poss, to know who does the art work for some of these flyers. Some of them really are first rate. Works of art. The software is one thing but IMHO you need a real talent too. Bri, Do you know what software your daughter used, and how did she master it to that level? MB

Personally I find the GIMP 2.8 software just as good, still hard to work out at the beginning, the bonus is its a free download.
Russ29 Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 I have to say I like our new ones. Designed by my mate Marcus at Mammoth Creative Works in Cannock

Doesn't surprise me at all - a really professional job. MB
Ted Massey Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 this ones for the Stables this year photos say it all
Andreas B Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Here's two done in the last year for nights I do here in Copenhagen. The first done by my wonderful girlfriend
Mark Bicknell Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Sadly short lived 'Sweetest Feeling' stuck with a theme.

Sweetest_Feeling_Hull-1.jpgSweetest_Feeling_Hull_Christmas_2013-1.jpg Once again excellent flyers. But also something funny here. I live on Dagger Lane in West Bromwich. Pretty unusual name - I think there are only 3 in the whole U.K. I knew there was a Dagger Lane in Hull but no idea there had ever been a soul do there. I think that's called synchronicity isn't it!
pikeys dog Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Seems that a lot of folks are impressed by their own flyers - come on folks - the idea is flyers that are different to the norm....
Sebastian Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 The flyers/posters for the Dig Deeper nights in New York are always fantastic in my opinion.
Spacehopper Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 lol...yeah most are their own..not gonna put ours up but love the dig deeper above,got the Barbara lynn in a record I bought from him

Was dissappointed the one for this Friday was cancelled, but didn't realise that was it for good! Damn Shame. sorry for going slightly off Topic Mike!
Mal C Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Seb those are fantastic, a Right Visual Paradise! Love a blast of saturated colour, but also like the Black and white , Paste and cut drawn ones...

Guest Polyvelts Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 99p soul. Screenprinted onto 45 sleeve
Autumnstoned Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) I liked the last Majestic Soul flyer. Sadly no longer able to attend this event. Edit Nor it seems to upload the flyer. Oh well take my word for it, it looked good! Edited January 15, 2014 by autumnstoned
Pomonkey Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Thanks for the kind words on the Dig Deeper flyers, since Day 1 way back in the summer of 2008 they've all been done by our good friend Marco, would highly recommend him to any of you looking for design work, you can hit him up at soulmarcosa@earthlink.net. And most of them are still available for purchase as posters, thick glossy stock and look great, know a fair few friends around the world have done a "wall" of them, drop a PM if you're interested!.
Andybellwood Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Hope Andy Hudson posts some of the offerings from NY Rare Soul Revue at Tadcaster - great imaginative art work with excellent layout.
