How to Make Club Flyers Online

A flyer isn’t just a flyer. If you plan to make one, you have to know how to make the perfect impression to attract your target audience.

Sure, an online flyer maker can help you make the perfect design. However, if you really want to stand out, you must know the principles behind creating a catchy flyer. With that, below is a step-by-step guide on how to design a club flyer.

1. Pick the Right Club Flyer

Unsplash-Fakurian Design

Suppose it’s your first time to create a catchy flyer. In that case, it’s easy to get excited and jump straight into picking colors and choosing images. And if you start with that step, there’s a good chance you could mess up the final result.

To create the perfect flyer for your event, it’s good to start with choosing the right paper. Ideally, if you distribute flyers, your best bet is the A5 and A6 flyers. However, if you post your flyers on walls, stick with the standard A4 or A3 flyers. With their size, they will definitely stand out.

Apart from size, you should also determine the quality of the paper you’re going to use. Believe it or not, how your paper looks and feels has a massive effect on people’s impressions. Since you promote your club and your event, you wouldn’t want to appear cheap.

2. Use an Eye-Catching Image

In making a club flyer, pictures are really important. Considering this, you need to know how to pick really eye-catching ones. 

Make sure that the photos you use are striking but in a good way. If you do a quick search online, you’ll find a lot of flyer designs that look too busy. These flyers have so many images that it’s hard to know which area you should focus on.

Pick a striking image and use it as a base for your overall design to avoid that mistake. You can use a scene, person, or an abstract design as long as it relates to what you promote. 

Just stick with one key concept and build your flyer around that. In case you are having a hard time finding catchy images, you can look into Venngage. It has a lot of high-quality images you can use in making any kind of flyer. And suppose you’re new to designing flyers. In that case, you can also use its massive collection of templates that are perfect for both new and veteran designers.

3. Pay attention to the Font

Next to the image, the correct typography is critical to creating a catchy club flyer. 

An excellent tip to follow when picking the right font is to base it on your club’s name or your event. For example, if your club has a futuristic theme, you can use futuristic fonts like Ailerons or Blanka. On the other hand, if it’s a throwback event, fonts like Designer Block and Geo Regular are great choices.

Apart from picking the right font style, you should also determine the correct size to use. Your flyer should be easy to read, even from afar.

4. Play with the Right Colors

pastedGraphic_1.png

Unsplash-Grabstar

If you’ve been doing your research well, you will notice that most club flyers use dark backgrounds and bright fonts and images. The contrast they make somehow reflects what you’ll see in a club with lots of flashing strobe lights.

So, when you’re making your club flyer template, it’s a good idea to start working with a dark background. Then, add your text with a neon effect. You can use many online tools to achieve the impact you want with contrasting colors.

5. Don’t Forget the Important Details

After you’ve hooked your target audience with your design, you must let them know what to do next. For example, if they need to sign up for the event, you should let them know how. 

Include important details like your contact number, email, address, and website. Don’t forget to include the date, time, and location of your club or event, too. If there’s a dress code, put it on your flyers as well.

Bonus Tip: Add an Offer They Can’t Resist

Making catchy flyers is one way to attract potential customers. However, if you really want to seal the deal, you can also try including enticing discounts and offers.

For example, you can offer free entry with the flyer. You can also offer to get them a drink for attending your event with the flyer.

The trick is to make them want to hold onto the flyer until the actual date and time of the event. Then, your audience won’t forget about your club with the flyer around. Think of it as the perfect reminder and an assurance that they will come and see you. 

Extra Bonus Tip: Don’t start from scratch

Great flyers don’t need to be made from scratch. Take advantage of free flyer makers like the ones from Venngage. It’s easy to sign up, and zero design skills are needed!

Message Man (2018) Review

"Message Man" Theatrical Poster

“Message Man” Theatrical Poster

AKA: Kill Vengeance
Director: Corey Pearson
Cast: Paul O’Brien, Aji Santosa, Verdi Solaiman, Mario Irwinsyah, Agni Pratistha, Mike Lewis, Alfridus Godfred, Ronny P. Tjandra, Gary Plant, Denny Baskar
Running Time: 91 min.

By Henry McKeand

“He Killed for Money. Now He’s Out for Justice.”

If this tagline isn’t enough to tip you off, Corey Pearson’s Message Man shares a lot in common with films you’ve already seen. It stars South African-Australian actor Paul O’Brien as a former hitman named Kyle living in Indonesia who develops a bond with a single mother and her children, and it does very little to distance itself from “retired assassin” tropes. Yes, he’s forced to use his dormant skills when the innocent family is put at risk, facing the sins of his past life in the process. Despite the familiarity of the premise, audiences come to this kind of film expecting engaging violence and a satisfying take on the formula, and Message Man boasts solid performances with a few unique action moments. Sadly, a tepid screenplay and some ugly digital effects prevent it from being much more than a light diversion for genre die-hards. 

Surprisingly, the film excels in the quiet moments leading to the promised killing spree. The first act set-up, in which Kyle gets to know the family that reawakens his humanity, is completely effective. The performances play a big part, and O’Brien is good at lending depth to a character who says very little in the first thirty minutes of the film. Whereas some retired assassin characters are unrealistically warm and sympathetic, O’Brien plays Kyle with a shell-shocked intensity that makes him emotionally distant for his first several scenes. This means that the moments when we see a crack in his armor are especially rewarding, and he comes off as a believable ex-killer. His character Continue reading

Pirates: The Last Royal Treasure, The (2022) Review

"The Pirates: The Last Royal Treasure" Theatrical Poster

“The Pirates: The Last Royal Treasure” Theatrical Poster

Director: Kim Jung-Hoon
Cast: Kang Ha-Neul, Han Hyo-Joo, Lee Kwang-Soo, Kwon Sang-Woo, Chae Soo-Bin, Sehun, Kim Sung-Oh,  Park Ji-Hwan, Kim Ki-Doo, Maeng Sang-Yul, Kim Dae-Han, Park Hoon, Lee Jung-Hyun, Han Jae-Young
Running Time: 125 min. 

By Paul Bramhall

It’s debatable if anyone was clamouring for a sequel to 2014’s slight but entertaining high seas adventure The Pirates, made in the wake of Hollywood’s successful Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, which at the time had concluded its 4th outing with 2011’s On Stranger Tides. While The Pirates sometimes wore the Pirates of the Caribbean influence on its sleeve a little too obviously, in 2022 the box office appeal of pirate ships and the colourful characters that populate them dissipated a long time ago. However here we are, with The Last Royal Treasure hitting cinema screens as part of Korea’s 2022 Lunar New Year offerings.

The road to screen has been a rocky one (or perhaps I should say hasn’t been plain sailing), with the original intention for The Last Royal Treasure to be a direct sequel to the 2014 original. Things quickly began to run aground though when the original stars Son Ye-jin and Kim Nam-gil both jumped ship, leaving the project adrift. With a studio keen to plough on, script writer Cheon Seong-il (one third of the original The Pirates script writing team) rewrote the story to be one featuring a completely new set of characters, and filming finally began in the summer of 2020. That wasn’t the end of The Last Royal Treasure’s woes though, with the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in the release getting delayed from its original slot during 2021’s Chuseok Festival, before finally arriving Continue reading

Invincible (2020) Review

"Invincible" Theatrical Poster

“Invincible” Theatrical Poster

Director: Daniel Zirilli
Cast: Johnny Strong, Marko Zaror, Vladimir Kulich, Sally Kirkland, Michael Paré, Paul Kennedy, Jason Archilla, David Blazejko, Paul Collett, Nick Khan, Natalie Lorence, May Myat Noe, Ron Smoorenburg
Running Time: 92 min. 

By Paul Bramhall

Whatever happened to Johnny Strong? After supporting roles in the likes of The Fast and the Furious and Black Hawk Down, his leading role in the 2010 flick Sinners and Saints had some speculating there was a new DTV action star on the block. Trained in multiple martial arts styles, willing to do his own stunts, and well, that name, it certainly seemed possible, however for whatever reason it just didn’t happen. A rumoured sequel to Sinners and Saints never get off the ground, and while he’d re-team with director William Kaufman for 2016’s apocalyptic zombie actioner Daylight’s End, other than that the next 10 years would consist of unremarkable bit parts and little else. So it’s somewhat of a surprise to see him suddenly re-appear almost on the dot a whole decade later to headline Invincible.

Not only is he headlining, he’s also contributed some tunes to the soundtrack, and he’s one of the scripts co-writers. You could almost say this is the movie Johnny Strong has been waiting to make. Along for the ride is another guy who’s never really made it as big as many thought he would, the Latin Dragon himself Marko Zaror. In the same year that Strong would headline Sinners and Saints, Zaror was cast as the main villain for Scott Adkins to face off against in Undisputed III: Redemption. It was a career high performance, and he’s never looked as good as he did facing off against Boyka (not even in a re-match against Adkins in 2017’s Savage Dog), so Invincible provides Continue reading

Can Matt Reeves Create a Realistic and Compelling Version of Mr. Freeze in his Next Batman Movie?

Matt Reeves stunned audiences with his take on Gotham City in The Batman, and the reception has been astounding. Some critics believe that this darker and more realistic version of the Caped Crusader is even better than Christopher Nolan’s vision in his Dark Knight trilogy.

Reeves recreated the Riddler – a character that has always had a somewhat comical appearance in the Batman canon – as a sinister killer, and this transformation suggests the same could be done with some of the other less realistic characters from DC Comics. Fans are already getting excited about the prospect of seeing a new version of Mr. Freeze.

The Riddler was the Highlight of The Batman

Paul Dano played the Riddler in The Batman and, among a highly talented cast who all performed their parts well, was the star of the show. Dano and Reeves worked on changes to the traditional expectations of Edward Nygma.

In the comics and other films, the Riddler has always worn a green suit and a bowler hat, with a purple eye mask and question mark staff. Both actor and director agreed that this simply wouldn’t fit in the gritty and grounded version of Batman they wanted to bring to the screen. Therefore, they opted to change his look and make him much more gritty than previous versions.

Reeves has Expressed a Desire to Bring Mr. Freeze Back

After the success of his debut outing as Batman director, there is no doubt that there will be future movies from Reeves in Gotham City. Now, fans are speculating about what other villains could appear in this deeply unsettling iteration of the famous comic book metropolis. It seems unlikely that any of the bad guys from the Suicide Squad pictures will appear any time soon.

In a recent interview, Reeves expressed an interest in bringing a character like Mr. Freeze into his universe. He described how it would be a challenge to make him more believable and grounded, especially with Arnold Schwarzenegger’s extravagant version from Batman & Robin acting as the reference point for most viewers.

What Other Batman Villains Could Reeves Include?

There are, of course, innumerable enemies of the Dark Knight that Reeves could select from in future movies. Poison Ivy is another character that hasn’t appeared in a Batman film since Uma Thurman’s turn alongside Mr. Freeze in the 1997 picture from Joel Schumacher.

The Mad Hatter is one villain that could fit into Reeves’ vision of Batman. However, the villain could be too similar to the Riddler. Then there are options like Man-Bat and Clayface who haven’t been represented much on the silver screen. These characters are both unrealistic, though, and may be hard to make believable.

Reeves has done excellent work so far in reimagining some classic Batman characters. It is exciting to think what he will achieve in his next film, and a brand-new version of Mr. Freeze could be a hit.

All U Need is Love (2021) Review

"All U Need is Love" Teaser Poster

“All U Need is Love” Teaser Poster

Director: Vincent Kok
Cast: Louis Koo, Tony Leung, Eric Tsang, Francis Ng, Gordon Lam, Philip Keung, Julian Cheung, Louis Cheung, Fiona Sit, Alex Fong, Cecilia So, Cheung Tat-ming, Michael Hui, Chin Kar-lok, Jackie Chan, Yuen Qiu
Running Time: 102 min. 

By Paul Bramhall

If there are 2 movies that show the differences between Mainland China and Hong Kong cinema, then it has to be Chinese Doctors and All U Need is Love. Both came out in 2021, and both put the COVID-19 pandemic front and centre, but that’s where the similarities end. While one is a stirring straight faced story of medical heroics on the front line, the other is a light-hearted comedy involving an ensemble of characters quarantined in a luxury hotel. While one may look to pluck on the heart strings, the other is more concerned with jokes about cleavage and being gay. What both productions were likely banking on was that the pandemic would be in its final stages, or perhaps even over, by the time of their release. The expectation being that audiences could kick back, knowing that whatever’s onscreen is no longer the reality that awaits them beyond the cinema doors. As the expression goes – best laid plans.

Essentially a charity production created to raise funds for out-of-work members of the Hong Kong filmmaking community, All U Need is Love features what may well be every Hong Kong actor who’s currently active onscreen in some capacity, all of whom agreed to appear for free. Much like 1992’s The Twin Dragons was created to raise funds for the Hong Kong Director’s Guild, and featured cameos from a who’s who of HK cinema at the time, so All U Need is Love provides a similar star spotting experience for fans of the territories output old and new. In the directors’ chair is Vincent Kok, his first time helming a movie since 2018’s Keep Calm and Be a Superstar, and a frequent Continue reading

What are the effects of using kratom on our liver?

What are the effects of using kratom on our liver?

Kratom is one of those herbs you think is a safer, natural substitute for other medicines. But don’t be fooled. Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is a Southeast Asian tree that has garnered interest worldwide. The leaves contain mitragynine, which acts similarly to opioids like morphine. Kratom, like opioid medications, has pain-relieving properties and is one of the most popular kratom. There are a few benefits to utilizing it, depending on how much you take and which kind you choose. Low doses of kratom may enhance your energy levels, improve your attention and alertness, and make you more social. Higher doses of kratom tend to have an analgesic (pain-relieving) and soothing effect and produce an overall sensation of well-being. Although there are concerns regarding its daily usage to prevent liver disease, it can certainly help treat other diseases. One should be aware to buy Kratom products from reputable brands like kingdom kratom.

Kratom and its Use

The kratom plant is smoked, chewed, made into tea, and ground into powder for capsules. The drug functions as a stimulant in modest dosages, enhancing energy and decreasing weariness. Larger dosages, on the other hand, may create euphoric effects. Many individuals worldwide have begun to use kratom as a substitute for other illegal substances and treat opiate withdrawal. Kratom has several advantages depending on how much you take and which type you choose. Kratom dependency has long been recognized and recorded despite its traditional medicinal benefits. Because of the growing interest in Kratom extracts in other various countries, scientific study on Kratom and its effects on users has expanded during the last ten years. Due to the long-term usage of Kratom, particularly by day laborers, to increase endurance and tolerate physical labor and hard-working circumstances, both the stimulant and opioid-like analgesic effects may contribute to dependency and addiction. Using it daily has adverse effects in 6 out of 10 people. Moreover, the liver is the main organ affected by its extensive use.

What happens to the liver if we consume Kratom daily?

Kratom is a drug that has variable effects on different individuals, primarily dependent on dose quantities. When taken, the impact usually occurs within ten minutes and lasts around 90 minutes. People claim that a modest amount of these improves alertness and sociability, while more significant dosages have the reverse effect, making them feel sluggish and heavy. Using kratom daily may have unpleasant and perhaps life-threatening long-term consequences.

https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2020/10/20/08/46/liver-5669876_960_720.png

Hepatotoxicity

The recreational use of Kratom has been linked to rare cases of acute liver damage. Injury to the liver generally occurs between 1 to 8 weeks of regular kratom powder or pills, with symptoms of exhaustion, nausea, pruritus, and dark urine followed by jaundice. The pattern of liver damage is usually cholestatic or mixed, and it may be severe, with serum bilirubin levels exceeding 20 mg/dL. Acute renal failure and bone marrow toxicity may accompany severe cholestasis. Fever is prevalent, but there is generally no rash or eosinophilia, and autoantibodies are lacking. Cholestasis may be extended, although it typically resolves on its own. In suspected kratom hepatotoxicity, corticosteroids and N-acetylcysteine have been tried, although their efficiency is unknown. Kratom is a prohibited substance in many parts of the nation, and it is regarded as a drug of abuse rather than a nutritional supplement—at least two dozen instances of clinically apparent liver impairment with jaundice. A comparable number has been reported to the Food and Drug Administration’s adverse event database.

Supplemental Side Effects

There is a minimal association between Kratom use and liver damage, albeit there may not gather enough evidence gathered at this time since it is a newer substance. According to the website, researchers released material in 2019 indicating that liver harm is a probable adverse effect of Kratom usage. They looked at 404 instances of liver injury caused by dietary supplements. Eight of the instances, which happened between 2007 and 2017, were linked to Kratom, and the substance was used two to six weeks before the symptoms of liver damage surfaced. Five patients were diagnosed with jaundice (yellowing of the skin), six with itching, five with gastrointestinal discomfort, and three with fever. Because of the unique combination of compounds in Kratom, the short-term effects of the medication are complicated and unpredictable. The quantity determines the balance between stimulant-like and opiate-like effects, and even while taking the exact dosage, different users have had significantly different experiences with the drug.

Effects of Kratom in Moderate to High Doses

Kratom has stimulant-like effects at low dosages (1-5 g). These may be felt in as little as 10 minutes and persist for 90 minutes. While most users think these effects are pleasant, others report feeling nervous and disturbed. Kratom’s stimulant-like effects include increased energy and alertness, similar to amphetamine but less potent. Kratom produces largely opioid-like effects at moderate to high doses that last for many hours (5-15 g). The medication’s euphoric “high” is thought to be less intense than that of other opioids, and some users experience it as unpleasant or dysphoric. Analgesia is another opiate-like function (pain reduction).

  • Drowsiness.
  • In a dreamy frame of mind.
  • Suppression of cough
  • Opioid withdrawal symptoms are lessened.

Kratom dosages are more extensive than 15 g cause effects comparable to high opioid doses, including profound drowsiness and, in rare instances, loss of consciousness.

Conclusion

To conclude, this article has served its purpose as a kratom strains guide. People claim that a modest amount of kratom improves alertness and sociability, while more significant dosages have the reverse effect, making them feel sluggish and heavy. The gut and digestive system might slow down when using kratom regularly and long-term. While this isn’t a life-threatening disease, having infrequent, difficult-to-pass bowel motions may be painful. If actions to ease the condition are not performed, this might lead to colon difficulties or even ruptures in extreme situations. Therefore, have a house physician handy if any problems arise. Detecting its usage aids in early diagnosis and treatment and prevents future risks.
