Description
(Revised image: corrected problems)Commissioned by the Press Room Night Club in Nanaimo, B.C Canada to design a 2 month flyer for Spin Sundays. A weekly electronic music night that us Fat Kats put on at the largest club in Vancouver Island in association with several local production companies on "The Rock".
It's one of the longest running clubnights in this cities history, so I've been doing these flyers a lot. This was my first design entirely in illustrator. Target audience? Clubbers, club-kids and barstars with a dash of raver thrown in the mix. I wanted a slightly Spring season feel to this design...the onset of Summer and how much everyone I know can't wait for it to come.
Super tight deadline of 3 days to get this done and not do something I've already done in the hundreds or so flyers I've done previous to this one. Plus the wide circulation means I can't be as slack as I'd ever like too...
This design will get printed off in Vancouver at Ultra Xpress Printing and will be folded in center. Each flyer will be 4.5"x11" hard glossy.

That's pretty sweet dude... Those fliers always seem crazy busy to me, but then again I'm not into the club scene very much lol. I love the colour scheme man.

It's simple, really. All you have to do is think where its being advertised. In a club at night. Usually in the dark and only being lit by the dance floor lights. The thing has got to SCREAM at people who are walking by it or paying cover in front of it. So much so that you'd be inclined to pick it up and check it out. The overload is what makes the passer by at the club want to see it.
You can go and make a more subtle flyer if you'd want to with less business, but the amount of action going on in it is whats going to appeal to you when you're walking out of an electronica club night, half-cocked with a few beers in you. Garuntee that, even if its just to pick it apart about how busy it is.

Very cool, very appropriate and WAY better than the one with the anime on it 
I also applaud the lack of half naked women with large breasts that have nothing to do with anything as in most club/bar flyers. Siloette of woman with big breasts, way cooler.
Might have one or two too many typefaces, but then again it's a genre right?
Also did you try the guy without the dots? So that he blends into the rest of the dancers? He/she's just standing out as an important thing with the dots. Even though the dots are way cool. When it seems that either none of the dancers should be dotted for importance or it's the chick in the middle that is repeated on the bottom. The chick in the middle might be cool dotted, might give some balance with the main title.
Anyway..my 2 cents.
Did you sleep during those 3 days? That's a really shitty deadline.

I used 3 type faces for the front of the flyer and used three type faces for the inside (two from the Futura family). Overall I probably could have used just those three from the inside, but I got my hands on Futura half way through the design and didn't go back to replace Impact on the outside of the flyer. Individually though, the sides stay within that 3 font max limit.
Good suggestion with the dots on the dancers...it would have been a lot better of an effect to have the one who's repeated on the inside with that effect on her and a tad bit color considering the movement in her form is a lot better.
And yeah, I was able to sleep all three nights. It usually takes one night to do the front and one night to do the back. The first night is spent going through a bunch of rough ideas before I decide on some kind of overall motiff I like.
