As many of you know i've supported the TFST.NYC movement to my fullest, the dj's, the music, the venue, and most of all the tranceaddicts. And like many of you who walk past those people handing out fliers cuz you have too many stored in your desk or under your bed, do you ever stop to realize that someone sat at a computer and used their creativity and imagination to design it? I think almost 100% of the time, the graphic's get overlooked, people search for the DJ and if they don't know them, they toss it.
Artist are almost, if not always, receiving the short end of the stick. there is hardly any money for self expression where people get tied up with the notion - why should i listen to you when no one listens to me. that mentality ruins what preserves the concept of art. to make this long first post short...
i'd like say that Akko's(babytek) graphics are brilliant. Her design technique has never dried out and every new flier she designs has this strong yet subtle appeal. Big ups to Akko(babytek) and much respect to the TFST.NYC krew for always turning out a bangin party...
Please feel free to post your local graphic artist who design your fliers with their self expression, this is not ment to flame but only give props to those who fail to receive any and have succumb to such for their own love for art! Please encourage our artist to share ideas and concepts and contact information so that they may network themselves.

A lot of flyers I see today are complete . No sense of hiarchy within the copy, one too many fonts used, overuse of photoshop effects, the list can go on and on. I basically like it simple but at the same time with some sort of slight edge thats not all in your face (1000 depth embossing, a shadow that would make you believe the world is entering the dark ages and why not a little neon glow for the hell of it :stongue: ).
I agree with you all aboout Crobars work....top notch. Akko definitely serves up some Grade A work as well.
Slightly off subject...print vs. multimedia...but you guys should check this out.
