good to hear from flyer guru dust. he brings up some good points about flyer design.
when i was hungry, i would always be asking "want me to do the flyer?"
i remember my first flyer designs was so cryptic, the promoter was like "i can't even tell what day it's on..." but me, being the young meglomaniac designer was like "yo, that's the swiss-blue note shit, i'm not changing it, people will get it...." in retrospect worst flyer ever. the flyers above came a couple years later (while i was still at NYU) for Baby Jupiter, one of the first dance clubs in the les... still very cryptic and so german...

but that was also a different era as p-love points out. one of the greatest feelings in the world as a young designer is seeing your shit get printed. so when those flyers came out, my heart would rush, then i would inevitably get so pissed that the orange was too dark or something. i miss those feelings.

my last point (who really cares?), is that cause shit isn't getting printed, it's definitely a different game. when you know it's getting printed and someone asks you to design it, you should take it as honor. someone is asking you do something cause they like your work and are willing to put a couple hundo down to get em printed. jpegs... not so much.
