your input is appreciated. thanx!

Looks nice and ready to be posted as comment on MySpace :)!

pure skillz :)

pretty amazing :)

not bad :winkwink:

It is a little too busy. The background takes away from the wording. I would tone it down by at leat 25% and see how it looks then.

Dim the background a lil, it will look better

thank you guys.
It is for a nightclub in Rosarito Beach, Baja (Mexico) named Tequilas Club. It's indeed a fun place to go and they have these cool best booty contests on weekends that are awesome :)

I would think it shoud say something about its a nightclub in Rosarito Beach? I get things like that on my car every weekend when I go out to party in downtown LA. Small fonted busy DJ this in that cards and just get thrown away because I can't tell what there trying to say.

Looks pretty good..nice job

looks pretty good, but a little too busy, IMO.

Nice effects, but I agree with some of the others that the background tends to make some of the text hard to read, tone it down. Also, I'd make Club Tequilas bigger and separate the wording some.

perfect, no more comments

exactly what they said! way too busy... use that theory KISS (keep it simple silly!)

Where's the mod file and the copper effects? (It really looks like a technical demonstration on an old computer. Very similar effects in fonts and such.) A bit busy; unless I had the time to stare at it, I'd probably not even notice anything but 'dance'.

Not too bad and honestly i want to join the party :winkwink:

lots of things going on, great though

I'll be harsh. It looks like pretty average. You need to read up on a few things:

1) Layout
2) Spacing
3) Separation

Good luck though. :)

its decent man

Not to diss your work but it kinda sucks ... It wouldn't get the attention of people ... Maybe if you do a high school party, but not in a competitive club scene.

It's hard to read, there is no focus on anything and the effects are taking too much of the attention.


Here are some of our work if you need ideas

http://www.barbuzz.net/desing a lot more of clean designs there too.

actually what i was gonna say, that background should be bleached a bit then it cool!

it's not bad, the text doesn't really stand out much at all though, perhaps try a color other than white, and dance blends in with the background colors too much

i'd re-arrange the logo a bit... the club above tequilas makes someone not from the area think "club tequilas" instead of "tequilas club" and then probably cause them to spend alot of time trying to find "club tequilas" instead of "tequilas club"

It's great work

wow those are seriously nice. :2 cents: :thumbsup

the type of "Club Tequilas" too illegible, imo.
but on the whole - not bad.

too busy

Now they look hot. Much better than the original ones.

honestly, i dont think its anywhere near the misguided comments such as 'Perfect' , 'amazing' and 'pure skillz'

a lot of it is hard to read. take note of Doctor Dre's images.

Nice stuff Dre :thumbsup

The whole thing is too constrained. First thing I'd to is make the club name much bigger, don't be afraid to overlap shit.

I'd get rid of the type around the border and make the border thinner, unless you are using a really good (expensive) printing company, they will more than likely not crop it how you like and that will look all fucked up, plus it's too busy.

We don't need a photo of the Earth to understand what World Famous means. The image is like a sore spot on your design.

Since you put all the colors in the world and the Tequila name,I am guessing it's a full color print job, might want to use a different color on your text "Dance" to make is stand out from the background a more.

Seems to me that Go Go Cages would be a bigger selling point then the fact that it's under new management. :2 cents:

Get rid of the lightning and knock the background down about 15%.

Somebody got owned. :1orglaugh

i know what you mean man, those are awesome!

it looks like you haven't been doing stuff like this for very long. not only is the club name hard to read - and let's face it, you only have 1 second before people stop trying - but it just doesn't say "party" to me.

i think dr dre had some useful things to say and hopefully you'll really focus on them even if it does hurt to have someone criticize your work. his examples are great party/club flyers that are easy to read, have plenty of breathing space, and use the effects to enhance the overall message rather than just putting words on a background.

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

Pretty mess banner
