The 2018 Dirty Halloween Bash at the Paragon Casino Resort in Marksville, LA.

The Halloween Bash at Paragon is always a good time!  The Paragon Casino Resort is one of Louisiana’s premier travel destinations.  There is always something for everyone to do at the Paragon, especially during the Halloween season.

Dirty Blonde. wanted a spooky, but not too over-the-top concert poster for their show at the Paragon.  So we created the perfect Halloween flyer for them to use.

The graphic is centered around a spooky and fiery image of frontwoman Lee Alpha.  Lee loves crows and butterflies, so we managed to slip some in there.  Finally, we added a Halloween Wax Seal.  The end result – an awesome Halloween Flyer!

Event flyers are one of the most traditional ways to attract people to your event. They’re also one of the most effective — but only when done right

Although there’s less buzz about flyers thanks to the dominance of digital channels, they still play a vital role in many organizers’ event promotion strategies. And in fact, flyers don’t always have to live on paper; digital flyers can be just as effective. Whether you’re printing your flyers or not, you’ll need to create beautiful, impactful flyers to actually drive ticket sales.

This event flyer we created for Louisiana Cover Band Dirty Blonde focused on a back view of a model with the band’s logo on her, well, you see the image.

Just like the best tattoo artists prefer to create custom pieces of art, good designers don’t lean on templates. This tattoo flyer is completely custom, and you can tell!

Let’s think of a tattoo flyer in tattoo terms, shall we?

Anyone familiar with tattoos knows what tattoo flash is. But if you don’t know, it’s that artwork in a binder or on the walls at a shop. You know, it’s those barbed wire and dolphin pictures you see and (for some reason,) decide to get it.

Do you want the same tattoo flyer that everyone else has?

Templates and “free,” online designers are the graphic designer’s equivalent of tattoo flash. Sure there are pros and cons of custom tattoo design vs. tattoo flash. But you work hard to market your band or shop. Shouldn’t your tattoo flyer represent you as an artist?

This Custom Tattoo Flyer was a blast to create!

We started with an image of a lady bearing her midriff that we downloaded from Shutterstock. We carefully added Dirty Blonde’s logo and, utilizing filters and masks in Adobe Photoshop, made it appear as it was a tattoo. Get it? Tattoo Flyer / Logo Tattoo

We put in event details using bold typefaces with colors that pop, and voila! An unforgettable tattoo flyer for an unforgettable band!

Let’s be honest, many times Church Festival flyers are dull and boring, resulting in gig attendance which follows suit.

So… how can a band increase gig attendance?”

According to the music think tank, one way that your band can increase attendance to festivals or church fairs is to have a custom event flyer created to use in promotions (both online as well as on social media.)

It didn’t take Dirty Blonde (South Louisiana’s Leading True to the Album Cover Band,) much convincing for them to almost demand an awesome graphic for their concert at the St. Joseph’s Fair.

Because it was a church fair, we designed this church festival flyer with a Circus theme.  Circus elements are placed throughout the graphic, with the centerpiece being the band’s Ringleader, frontwoman Lee Alpha.

Dirty Blonde is a true-to-the-album cover band that plays all over in South Louisiana.  Fronted by Vocalist Lee Alpha, their music and live show is nothing short of spectacular.

Their Electronic Press Kit (EPK) had to represent them well, and be nothing short of spectacular itself!

Ideas for an Electronic Press Kit:

1. Use Imagery

It may be superficial but there’s a reason for the saying “a picture is worth a thousand words”.

If a promoter wants to book let’s say a singer/songwriter, the picture has to tell him he’s on the right track.

Did you know that probably every music genre has its own imagery? Just look at some of the big artists from your genre. That can be a good way to choose your perfect application photo.

2. Get in their head, but not on their nerves

Hits upfront. Always!

You only have a few seconds to win them over with your music. Booking agents just keep skipping and scrolling through your tracks and want something that’s gonna catch their attention.

If there’s nothing electrifying in there, there goes the gig. You made it if a song gets stuck in their ear. So get out those catchy tunes and at best you cut away long intros etc. The hook’s a blast? Perfect, then start with it.

4. Keep the EPK simple, stupid!

It’s totally understandable that you like to talk about your own project or band but the first impression is a matter of seconds.

Of course, it’s nice to hear that the band members know each other from playing together in the sandbox in kindergarten but what does that tell about your music or your performance?

Be catchy with your self-description. Don’t forget that promoters aren’t always fans. Long novels are for fans, a crisp intro about you is for promoters or booking agents. Cut to the chase.

Be relevant. Be interesting!

5. Me & my fans

Socials as a fan radar – your fans and followers from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & co. are mirroring your fame, which doesn’t leave promoters cold.

Lastly, he wants to fill his venue by booking you. If you have 300 fans in Berlin, for example, it’s another strong argument to convince a promoter of a club with a capacity of 100 people.

Do you have a lot of fans on Facebook? Show it in your EPK.

Promoters are in fact interested in that stuff!

To check your EPK in the end, you should switch perspectives. Get in the role of being the promoter for once, look at the bands’ profile and ask yourself whether you’d book that band or not.

This role swap eases the critical reflection about your EPK a lot.
