Brit Pop Club Nights/Flyer Designs

Searching around the net I managed to find some ideas for designing my Brit Pop Flyer. I found a traditional British Pop flyer which has the three main colours, Blue, Red & White. It also has the typical Guitarist and is pretty simple within the design. What I mean by this is, It's easy to read and not to messy, a pretty clean cut flyer with some boxes rotated and all different text. It's very easy to read on the eyes and the colours stand out. Also they have a typical Libertines style headline, the scruffy letter cut out from a newspaper. It has other Information, like a website where I presume you can research the venue, get directions and find out more about the night. And lastly the design is not to complicated and it's not one of those 'dull' flyers you would throw away because you could use it as a poster and its kind of a collectable.

  




Second Flyer I found was slightly similar but it was an 'American' Brit pop night. Again a pretty simple design a stencil style print with a typical youth on the front giving it some 'attitude'. Only one British colour which is the red strip across the front of the poster. But you wouldn't really expect an american flyer to have British colours. Made by the same people I assume from the website and the design. Again very easy to read, not to over complicated and can be used as a collectable poster. Advertising 'cheap drinks' which will again bring in more people and more perks if you come early. 



Lastly I found a very old 'Mod' Style flyer, that has lots of pictures and 'typically british' themes. It seems to be all cut out manually with scissors and glue then scanned in to a computer.. Only really has one box of text giving you information about the night, no website or other information which is ok if the night is well known. All the images on the flyer are 'british' the 'lambretta' scooter, red london bus, tradition english women and the mod symbol with the british colours. This could also be used as a collectable poster which you can keep. But overall I think the first one is the best poster to attract the 'Brit Pop' scene and is the most attractive poster because they have the colours and has the most simplicity. I think my Flyer will be a mix between the first two as I feel they suit my Genre and target audience the best.
