   Wow, that’s impressive work David! I know where to go if I need a flyer now. :)

   I’m really digging the Streetlife design. The great visual drew my eye to it immediately, nice work.

   By the by, you certainly have a distinct style when it comes to placing type.

   I agree with the previous comment - I’m loving that Streetlife design. They’re all great. Thanks for sharing them with us. Can’t wait to see more of your work!

   I love the wire mesh backdrop - professional and yet slightly futuristic at the same time! I personally think that there should perhaps be less of an angle on the flyers themselves, as it screws with your eyes a little… ;)

   Great designs though! :)

   Excellent stuff, I wouldn’t of expected anything else.

   Why not upload them to flickr too?

   The Call to Mind flyer is really nice! The minimalistic feel looks fab. I love designing flyers. They’re quick, fun projects especially when you have free reign to design whatever you want. I have a friend who is a promoter for a club so he keeps me busy designing flyers for his events from time to time. Right now I’m actually working on a redesign of an old flyer I did a few months back to put into my portfolio.

   Keep the portfolio pieces coming, man. Anxious to see more!

   I agree with Paul, I like it that you didn’t use just a white bg or the actual digital artwork. Very nice presentation of your pieces.

   As for the work itself, I love your typography! I don’t know anything about the clients you did the work for, but from what I read on the flyers and the art you used, I think your typography fits perfectly with the subject.

   Personally, I struggle with designing flyers. It doesn’t help that I have to keep in mind my output, B&W printer without bleed capabilities. I have many good design ideas, but most need the color or the bleed, or both!

   Not what I would call original in style, but very attractive work. Did you do the backdrop for the street life one or is that a photo of someone else’s work? If you did it I’m officially impressed!

9. Paul Enderson, on June 15th, 2007 said:

   Does originality necessarily make a design better?

    So do you get free entry into the Arches? ;)

11. David Airey :: Creative Design ::, on June 15th, 2007 said:
    Thanks for all your thoughts!

    Flyer designing is something I enjoy, especially when there’s freedom involved with the imagery and type.

    I’ll probably add some background info on the clients, their style of music and the audience they cater for etc. Lauren’s comment brought the thought to mind.

    The backdrop for the Streetlife flyer is a photograph I took in Benicassim, Spain. I was camping at a four day music festival and loved it! There was a fair bit of other artwork on walls but I focused on styles I found most appealing.

    Free entry to the Arches? Not in some time, Aaron. I certainly wouldn’t say no.

12. Lorissa Shepstone, on June 15th, 2007 said:

    Really nice work David. I do like the Streetlife one a lot, likes others. Great to see some of your stuff:)

13. Terence Chang, on June 16th, 2007 said:

    Look very nice. I like the first one, which is more dramatic …. It catch my eyes.

    Great works! You will make a lot of people shame on themselves. ;-)

14. Andy, on June 16th, 2007 said:

    I like the 1st flyer design. The colours mix in well with each other.

15. Bret, on June 16th, 2007 said:

    Great work David. Only suggestion I have is to try and tweak your site and include a link to a static page on the site that has your complete portfolio. If you look at the top of your site there is a small subsection that says “Graphic Design”. Under that title it simply says “Hire David Airey for graphic design.” I think that section needs to be tweaked with the first time visitor in mind. Sell yourself a little more in that section and include a link to a static page with your portfolio.

16. David Airey :: Creative Design ::, on June 16th, 2007 said:
    Lorissa, Terence, Andy,

    Thanks for your kind words.

    Bret,

    I’ll be making those changes you suggest very soon. I didn’t want to have a static page for my portfolio until I have more of my designs uploaded. Thanks for your support and for pointing that out though. Much appreciated.

    Great, great, and great. It’s all really great artwork and i Love all of them! streetlife caught most of our attention because of its dynamic colors, not saying the rest weren’t attractive enough. i’d love to learn those skills if only I had the chance. Envious :)

    Great blog. Keep it up!
