Not looking to be flamed as i know im a noob at photoshop but none of our team are willing to try make a flyer so i have had to give it a go.. Looking for feedback on how to improve this as i know its complete rubbish already.

Put some orange/red in to it, at a quick glance I quite like it, but more vibrant colours would help you a lot. Maybe change the colour of the top left/bottom right pictures? Altering the colour of the writing would cut you off from a fair few choices, as it would make some of it unreadable (ideally keep it white for the smaller stuff, so it stands out).

Oh, is it a typo where you have "Deja Vu prensents"? Correct it if it is, that would help. :P

Tbh mate for what the flyer is going to be used for, it looks alright...i'd leave it like that tbh. Not sure if the attachment has changed the imagesize but the white text could be made smoother/easier to read since that's going to be the main interest in the flyer i'd assume.

Why you bothered? People just chuck them on floor after reading or just without reading. Just put date time and location, your good.

looks to cold imo. i am by no means a photoshop wizz nor a designer, but looking @ that makes me think of a dark gloomy old basement and lotsa ice (the watery kind :p)

maybe thts the way u want it to look. and im no fan of garage or w.e type of music all tht is. so blah :p

just my opinion.

The outine on the chunk of texts seems too "thick"?

Take the Stroke off of the details, possibly add some more brushes and maybe some photos of people going mental or sommet. More adventurous font for the Light 2 Dark title as it needs to stand out, let it have more room as well as it needs to be more eye catching.

If " Dark 2 Light " is the name of your event and you wish to promote it then you should stretch it across the whole centre of the flyer to establish it as a brand.

This will pay dividends if you wish to promote the night on a regular basis as it creates "brand awareness" and gives your night an identity.

You also have not indicated what time it starts and ends, this is also very important so people can arrange there evening to suit.

The bit about the entry price and bring ID would probably be better as small print on the bottom of the flyer along with the minimum age ie: Strictly over 18's.

When I used to promote "House" nights, I used to give an info telephone number on the flyer or poster, just record a message on a mobile phone answering machine with the details of the evening and leave the phone turned off so people get through to it, it used to work quite well tbh.

Apart from those few things, the colour and layout are great for the type of night your promoting.
