Promo Posters?

Starfox

Hey all,

DJ here and im going to try and get a few gigs, i need to know how to make them posters for avertising events, is there websites, or do you use photoshop or something like that, where do you get them printed, what paper, whats the spray stuff i see people using to stick them up, im really not into these side of things...

Are you going to put flyers up advertising yourself?

SteveDon

Just make them on photo shop, then get them printed on a bit of card.

Go to gigs that are along the style of the gig you are promoting and hand them out at then end of the night when everyones leaving. Thats what everybody else seems to do, and it works.

I always end up with different promotional cards in my pocket after a night out.

We normally end up going to gigs on the back of how good the quality of a roach is you can get off a flyer. The more you use it for a roach for js the more you talk about it!

Excellent grounds for such an important decision.

OP are you advertising a gig or yourself?

you'd better not be in dublin..

flyering is illegal unless you get a permit costing a few hundred euro per event - if you get caught at it you get fined up to 15k

Yeah I remember getting one years ago in DJ Magazine.
It was an A5 size card with all the perforations and was advertising the "New" Playstation of all things. Great idea though.

very smart, I like that.

It would cost a sh!t load more to print but would probably be worth it

Táck

well we're STILL talking about it!

pretty sure my one wasnt for playstation tho. obviosuly the productiveness of the flyer had a negative effect on my memory :P
