I made this flyer in Adobe Illustrator for a rock party at my place next month.

How does it look?

Took 6 hours, am quite happy with the end result :)

Initial colorful version - too gay for a rock party :p

Blackified version - much dark

Complete black version - color goes well with grunge look

Well now that i look at it, yeah it does :p

I wanted it to be all black...whadaya all suggest...i mean it's a rock party flyer and not a fashion party flyer :p
 
the colours remind me of 'That 70's Show'
if you dont go with the all black idea, try using darker shades of the colours you have already used.
 
uploaded 2 more versions...comments? any other better color scheme? or should i try shades of black?

Any comments on the overall design?

there's a funky design at back - that took some time...also the boombox art in background
 
yeah 6 hours...not for the implementation but also thinking the design....the back designs seem easy, but they aren't...and playing with colors/fonts took the most time.

point taken on the pink color and 1900 font.
 
Just a few tips:

A general thumb rule for design: Do not use more than 2 fonts. (Instead try alternating the same font by using it either in bold/italics etc)
Also, when using Illustrator, you can use the transform tool to change the size and the shape of every character of the font you're using.

Choose a color pallete that you are going to work with. To the design challenged, i suggest you go to COLOURlovers :: Color Trends + Palettes and look for something aesthetically pleasing

Respect empty/blank space. Don't feel the need to fill your blank space with either a background, or a pattern, or text just because it looks "empty"
Just my 2 paise.
 
^^ i think most people might not have seen the flyer designs for a rock party.

Go to flickr and search for rock party flyer and you'll come across designs like these - all mish mash, broken fonts, lots of fonts - that's how its supposed to be...not clean, elegant or anything
 
The flyer is kewlll...i like the black and white version of it.....by the way the deck in the background of the picture looks super kewll.....but just a suggestion.......the punch line of the Flyer can be colored...to attract direct attention to it.....:D
