i'm a little stumped about what to do with my info type on the front of this flyer. it just doesn't look right to me.
the type can be made any size or color or face. (my complete freedom with this contract is the only reason i accept these shitty flyer gigs)
anyone have any suggestions?

got a jpeg instead?
- scarabin0
i would but i'm working in 300 dpi and it would take my machine forever to flatten, resize, and export for web both sides of the flyer...

save for web doesnt take that long scarabin but other than that largertype sizes, bolder, something of that nature

bah to you for posting pdf's
bah to you for having such ENORMOUS icons on your desktop
bah to you for having a 'nin' group in your im
bah to you for doing type in ps, look at that hyphenation eeeuw!heheh well, now that I got that off my chest.. maybe you can bump the contrast on the image or something.. looks rather typical.. nothing terrible I'm sure it would suffice.
a cobweb? hmm I'm hoping thats a client must.

Spinning Gothic?

first of all, my icons are big because i am coping with eye damge right now from some severe headaches i was hospitalized a month for. the "nin" peeps are from a nine inch nails website i made when i was 15, and as for the rest, the gig only pays 50 bucks so i couldn't give a shit about the little details.
and professionally, i do film posters and video game covers. in these we almost always use photoshop type. at high resolutions it doesn't really matter.

um... "Spinning Gothic", please?
- scarabin0
i was looking for some type suggestions, not an investigation into my im list or frigging icons. or even the wording used in the type, which was of course provided by the client.
- scarabin0
spinning gothic tracks, you retard.
- scarabin0
did you even read the rest of the line?
- Nairn0
oh! how silly of me?
thank fuck for that.

scar-
bigger bolder text
darken the background image different red it disappears in the shadows
- Nairn0
yes.
"spinning gothic"
"industrial"
"EBM"
"80S"
..etc..hey man, you're the one steeped in typographic self-flagellation - mine was a genuine misinterpretation.
if you want my opinion - the bodies of your text are too linear and contrary to the worn gothic identity. muss it up a little.
