Get all of the details together. Confirm the correct spelling, address and the phone number of the show venue. Find out the date, time and other information about the event. Is it for a special occasion (Halloween, Christmas)? A festival? Will there be a cover fee? Any age restrictions (over 21 only)? Do you have any well-known guests? Make sure you know these answers and anything else about the event that should be on the flyer. You should include the name of the band and band website.
Think about the design of your band flyer. It is up to you how creative or complex you want it to be. If you are going to be printing it, consider what colors you want to use. If you are concerned about using a lot of ink, you may not want to have a solid background. Use a border or smaller graphics. Gather all of the pictures or create any graphics that you want to include. If you have a band logo, make sure you include it in the flyer.
Open the program you are going to use to create the band flyer. Make sure any pictures or graphics you want to include are accessible. Begin with a blank page.
Insert a background or border on your band flyer. Use a picture that has something to do with the upcoming event. If it is going to be a show for a holiday, use a graphic that has that specific theme. Make use of clip art or photos included with the program you are using or go online and get free clip art or photos. Resize the graphic and alter its color if needed. Add a band photo or other pictures to your flyer, if desired.
Include all of the important details on your band flyer. Use WordArt to create special effect text for the flyer. You can also use a font that stands out or is associated with your band. Do not include too many details, but make sure all of the significant stuff is on the flyer. Use large sized fonts to make the flyer easy to read from a distant. The objective is to get people's attention and supply them pertinent information.
Save and name your band flyers. This way you can access it later, upload it online or email it to others. Print the flyers if needed. You can use various bright colors of paper to print the flyers. Make the flyer text and graphics all black or be sure the colors will show up on colored paper. Always print a test copy first before printing several copies of the band flyers.
