I've been doing the gig flyers for my band for a while now, and I'd love to see the designs that other bands use.

Do you typically do original flyers for each show, or do you just make appropriate changes to the respective information?

Do you use software? Pen and ink? Cut and paste images?

What's your inspiration and creative process like?

Here's what I just whipped up in photoshop for our next show:

I think this one is a thing of beauty because of it's understated subtlety. The venue got a new manager who tried to renegotiate our compensation the last few months of 2009. He got all "take it or leave it" with us, so, we booked 2010 without him. The only date we had available this year was St. Paddy's day, and it turned out they really wanted us to play. Soooooo.........

I present "Our final gig at the Landing until at least 2010" Flier. We can't get fired, so this should be a good time!
