Growing up with Rave Flyers
Why are Rave Flyers so collectable and well loved by a large section of people? Many website have been dedicated to them and more than any other recent form of advert they are revered, swapped and collected. Is it because many people were at chool when they firt came out and they were an aspirational thing to collect, alluring to future parties yet to be experiance. Or was it because if you went to those parties their flyer, with list of attraction, mega turbo sounds sytems and a line soccer team sized lineup that would play the tunes you loved, would remind you of thoe nights....
Or do they jut look cool, with the new age style computer generated graphics combination or original artwork from the likes of World Dance & Dreamscape designer Pez who created magical scene....
I don't know but we are going to explore some of those flyers in this blog and hopefully get your opinions on whether i am just talking bollocks. Do post details of your favourite ones and comment on the rave flyers I post up.
If you want to look at a collection of those flyers from the past or just haven't got a club what I am talking about do check out the Fantazia Rave Flyer Archive. We are aiming to include all the main flyers on here and unusual this will include the reverse and inner pages which rarely get shown on fan website already on the web....
