Too fly for words - A glimpse at the hottest Event Flyers on the street part 1

Ever wondered why almost every flyer that got handed to you in the street had a picture of a scantily clad woman on it? You guessed it,it turns heads and grabs attention. Does it work? Well run a little experiment in your spare time. Hold on to about five flyer that you come across from promoters, lay them out flat on a table and pick the one that grabs your attention the most. If it's not the one with the pretty lady posing, come back here and post a comment bringing it to my attention, you're probably on to something big.

 Anyway this post is dedicated to the hardworking flyer designers out there, whose art is often ignored. I think every artist, regardless of your preferred medium should give flyer design a go at some point. See if you can create a design that will grab people's attention in a community proliferated with flyers and such. Here are some flyers that do it for me.

 

Talk about leaving stuff to the imagination, aint nuthin but a damn silhoutte in this thing! It works because you get to fill in the blanks, which depending on your imagination makes for a hell of a flyer. This is simply a work of art. Definitely an eye catcher
I like the 70's Movie Poster look and feel of this flyer. This gets the job done, and still leaves enough clothes on the model.
If you can't excite them, then mystify them. This one is oozing with mystery that lures you in. Ahh Illustrations! I love illustrated flyers. The majority of them always have a smooth clean look. Probably something to do with the fact that I never grew out of my "cartoon" phase (seriously).
