Winnie :-) Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 I suppose firstly is it practical, and if so what would you want to see on it. Some of the things I'd expect 1) Music played off original format/Music played not off original format 2) Nearest car park/on site parking/size 3) Entrance fee 4) Size of dance floor ie: 60' by 45' etc alternatively in square feet, so unusual shape floors could be catered for. 5) Is the floor wood/sprung or has it got a coating, sort of rubber, or tile 6) Is tea and coffee available, not available. 7) Who's DJ'n and if possible in what order. There's probably loads of other things, over to you 1

Gointoagogo Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 I would have thought the most important one would be music policy - I do realise that "across the board" can be all things to all men but could there be specifics of the type of music the punters I would hear? eg next to each DJ's name - have 2/3 of their current faves also what about the proportion of their spot that would be different to their previous outing?
Chalky Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 How much room do some think there is on a flyer? For some of the suggestions you would need A3 size flyer. You just need the basics, if you are out and about on a regular or even semi regular basis you should have a good idea of what DJ plays what. Across the board everyone should take with a pinch of salt as it is basically meaningless when referring to the large majority of venues. To begin listing current spins and previous spins of the DJ's is taking it a bit far don't you think? Anyway more to the point, are flyers really needed these days? I can reach most of those who attend all-nighters with all the information needed via the events section on here and Facebook. 2

hullsoul Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 All flyers should be on an A2 sheet & all wording done in 72pt Arial Bold type.........so I can read them without my bloody glasses "Across The Board" should be banned off all flyers or most night's who use it should be done under Trades Description Act as they don't get close Cheers Martyn 1
Mick Boyle Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 It's the rain forest I feel sorry for... Hey Rich, the way you ripped of the cardboard cover to your biriyani last week I would never of guest you cared about rain forests.
Rich B Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Hey Rich, the way you ripped of the cardboard cover to your biriyani last week I would never of guest you cared about rain forests. It's the circle of life Mick, the circle of life! I'm not sure flyers are in that circle...
Steve Ss Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 It's the rain forest I feel sorry for... Why? The pulp used in the manufacture of most paper stocks comes from softwood. The bulk of the European manufacture is taken from managed sustainable forests. The destruction and de-forestation of tropical rain forest is primarily undertaken for the expansion of grazing of commercial meat products Blame MacDonalds, not a printer.... 1

I would suggest Bodini Poster as the face of choice. Regards Across the board printing.com 1

I did know all of that Steve - and a little bit more about de-forestation and its causes - you must blame my sense of humour (often misguided I know) for thinking that it was possible to not take the whole thing too seriously. I apologise if I offend your environmental or professional sensibilities - I blame those who frequent McDonalds and eat meat (causing said de-forestation) as much as McDonalds itself. I also apologise to the mods for going off topic. 1
Northern Soul Uk Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) All a good flyer needs is: Where (which town/City) it's taking place in larger letters for the not so well sighted and in dark rooms/clubs. The address and postcode of the venue The DJs and what style of music will be played An eye catching design so it stands out from the other flyers it's going to get put next to. Times of the event and event rules i.e age limits etc. In other words as much info as possible without writing a manuscript. Edited September 8, 2014 by Northern Soul UK

Probably only so much can be said about flyers, and I think it has been, so as thread starter will close
