the speakers are best part of this flyer imo. i like the graphic lines around them. would do away with the lions for now. maybe save them for your next flyer? but you seem to have a couple styles goiong on there which arent working together. pick YOUR favourite style and do it all like that. make sure all the text has the right spacing/leading/kerning/alignment images are only part of a flyer - underestimate the typography at your peril!

http://www.dafont.com has 1000s of free fonts for download. most of them are toss, but there are a couple of gems in there that might be good for a display font, like the name of your night?

hope this helps and good luck with your dance!

You should loose some of the elements, and spend more time polishing the ones you choose to stick with. Its sorta like making a track, its not the amount of sounds, but how they sound.

MURDERSOUND: Make the murder part more filthy/gritty. Really awful handwriting, or perhaps the "hi ive got your kid" look, with letters cut out of different papers. Make the D a titty! (i like titties, and who doesnt!) And as said before, dont go with Ariel, its a web font, not for flyers.

Loose the two speakers. Theyre ugly. You could use a single bass as background, perhaps with some blood dripping from it?

If you wanna keep the fist, do the "bass" thing in handwriting as well. Who has tatooed bass with ariel? Just about noone.

Loose the hempleaf.

The lions doesnt fit the style as it is - but

Fuck it. Actually, and try not to be too insulted now, start over.

I've taken some time out of my busy surf-schedule, to sorta show you whaddai mean!

You can use this, just scream out my name a few times during the party, id prefer it done with quite a bit of anger, right.

Been doing flyers for a few years, best few tips i can give you are;

Try to cut down on the amount of fonts you use, to many fonts just looks messy,

Make everything as balanced as possible, doesn’t mean everything MUST be symmetrical, but don’t try an a-symmetrical design unless you got a good eye for balance

Go here for your fonts http://www.dafont.com/ go here for the printing http://djflyers.com/

Give it a few hours anyou get summit like this
