Show off the best and worst flyers for clubs and gigs. Either ones from your hometown that you especially like/dislike, or your own work. Posters too.

Do flyers have a big influence on Clique attendance Affectian? (do you actually print any?) might sound silly but I do not attend clubs based on the flyer so assume many others don't either - this will mainly be because we've heard about it online or in listings guides or just word of mouth tho. there was another thread about the 'worth' of flyers somewhere/when.

Oooh, I really like the keys money lipstick flyers! if I was in Manchester that'd totally get me down. In fact I may well just send it to my friends and go "go for me, it looks fun!"

Seripop is overseen by the band AIDS Wolf, about whom there was a fairly long thread a while back. Chris Summerlin is in the band Lords and, as you say, a brilliant scribbler

Suedey, go for it. I am completely without talent in the artistic realm, but I like doing flyers. I tend towards the cut-up picture and text, really old-school indie DIY thang.

Got this one of Chris' in my living room (Lords, Last of the Real Hardmen, Wolves! of Greece, sometime member of Damo Suzuki's Network, and probably lots of other things besides. He's a grumpy sod, though):

Oh, and I like the style of the Cosmic Bubblegum ones, rrrobyn, but I feel guilty about preferring them to Seripop, who seem to be creating their own aesthetic (rather than aping a classic style) much more.

Those Do Dirt flyers are great. Suedey, you should totally come down - the second KML last Friday was a near-riot, check the pictures here.

And Stevem, yes flyers matter a lot. It might be slightly different in other cities but in Manchester we can run around town catching gigs and the end of clubs. No doubt this would be trickier in London, but it could and should be done to an extent. Plus it's more than just telling people about the night: we've heard about people pinning the Clique ones to their wall, shop-owners love them so put them in prime position and tell their customers, press people love a well-designed flyer, it gets our clubbers more involved as we use photos of them, etc.

Myspace, press and word-of-mouth also matter a lot but there's nothing more memorable than having a great little image thrust at you after a night out. It's vital to do them well though, a little scrap of photocopied paper is more likely to put people off than anything. From the design stuff I've seen of yours I'm sure you could come up with something superb. I'm sure Pisces has more to say on this.

Another great Manchester flyer:
