I was all jacked up to do the vinyl musique flyer but....

Thank you all for voting in my Rave Flyer Domocracy experiment. I have tallied the votes and the winner is The Hiding Face! This too, was my favorite design as well.

However, because this isn't a democracy, the promoters of said rave have gotten the final choice and they really-really liked the Red Record.  Perhaps Jacquelyn was right, The Hiding Face was just too hipster for the ravers.  Plus, they decided that they would name the party All Jacked Up.

I put my dissapointment aside and made the flyer they requested, adding some extra touches, some fun flourishes, and whatnot to appease my personal design gods.  Here is my first draft.  They were still missing some information, so I've got a little to do on it yet, but for the most part, it's done.

Take a peek and tell me what you think.... FRONT &  BACK.

that's really awesome! You could totally be a computer design artist and local bands and what not would be pounding your door down.

:D

I've been doing rave and concert flyers since 2000. I do it for less than half what any professional charges because I do it for fun and not for profit.

I'll tell you what I think. They were fools to reject The Hiding Face.. and I wouldn't go to a party called All Jacked Up either.

Ditto, and ditto.

I've probably been to five parties called All Jacked Up :P And yes, quite foolish, but what do you expect from a bunch of rural Wisconsinites who are trying really hard to be ravers and gangstas at the same time. :P

You. ..are so cool.

And the flyer is nifty. te curly stuff in the toip right corner of the front s cool. ONe of your touches to apease your muse?

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Exactly! Thanks :)

Looks great! You've managed to get a lot of information onto the reverse side without it looking at all messy, still sleek and stylish.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Thanks! That's the most time-consuming, son-of-a-bitch part of making these :P

I dig it. My only thought was "shouldn't the date grab your eyeballs a bit more?" But then, I've never really been part of the target audience for one of these flyers. There's also a country song "all jacked up" but she's referring to mr. jack daniels.

Eh, if it's on there, soemone will see it :)

Pretty slick, my friend. I like it.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

That looks really awesome! (I love any chance I get to use the word 'awesome.' It should never go out of style.)

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Thank yoU! It's such a good word :D

[antarcticlust.livejournal.com]

I think it's your best back-side evah. The front has one minor flaw, in my opinion; the "All Jacked Up" bit is a slight too sloppy. It doesn't quite fit...maybe one less of the extra layers behind it?

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

I purposely made it sloppy. It used to be crisper, but I really liked it with the green showing through. I thought the back was a little messy, but I loved that paint texture under the words SO much.

that guy with glasses is so my type. he has a great nose.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

I'll put in a good word for you.

[kiwikat.livejournal.com]

: P

[kiwikat.livejournal.com]

the flyers are good, but i wanted you to make the OTHER flyers. *pout*

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me too :P But I'm not so ambitious that I would make multipe flyers that wouldn't get used :P

[goshdarnheck.livejournal.com]

Very nice.
