Here is the front side of a flier I've just finished for a monthly rock gig.

I think it's pretty much finished now so feedback would be cool.

The first image is the original that I pulled off the net, the second is the result of the past 5 hours.

I've reduced these sizes to 900x600(ish) as the original is made for 300dpi prints which translates as 4195x2976, load times might of sucked a little for most :P

So keep in mind that the original is much much more detailed than these samples :D

ORIGINAL:


5 HOURS LATER:


I'm pretty chuffed considering I made it up as I went, comments and critique?

Hm. What I honestly think you should do is distort the text. It looks WAY too photoshopped, especially the purple text one. Add filters, give it a grunge-esque look. Then, you will have a retro tape.
