View Full Version : RevLeft needs you! :)

An affinity group within the CC is currently working together to organise a gig to be held some time next year in the UK (most likely London).


As for the layout, the basic design specs are as follows,


---> The phrase, 'Rock Against Capitalism', and the sentence 'Anti-capitalist benefit gig', as well as 'Revleft.com' should be featured somewhere on the design.

--> A short description or space for a short description to be added, which will explain the basic purpose for the benefit.

--> And, a space for a date and the bands to be added in.


As the project is still in preliminary stages, important things like the date, bands, venue etc. cannot appear accurately on the designs, so you can leave them off with space to add them, or if you wish, write in place-holders for the time being so as to get a better idea of what a 'finished' flyer might look like.


The most important thing is just to present a basic layout/template which can be improved once more information (such as date, venue etc.) is confirmed.

Here are two examples of a basic layout, with plenty of space left for info to be added in:

Purpose of the gig:

This gig is meant to be a warm-up for what will hopefully be an expansion of the revleft community to greater offline activities, providing those involved directly with the RAC project to gain some good experience working together, co-ordinating online, on the board and offline (of course it would be awesome if other members self-organised affinity groups to organise gigs in other locations as well :) )and as such the proceeds will form the base-funds for what will hopefully help to develop an offline organisation.

So with this said, the basic purpose of the gig which should be written somewhere on the flyer could go something like this extremely rough draft:

"Proceeds go to the (temporarily named) "Rock Against Capitalism committee" functioning as part of the Revolutionaryleft.com international community, a group interested in using the boards membership, for continuing anti-capitalist action against exploitation and environmental destruction"


Any designs at all that people come up with are worthwhile/useful, so please feel free to post whatever you come up with.

Make sure people can read it in B &W, so everyone can print it

Both are good, the more different designs the better.

One or a few of the designs posted in here will probably be chosen by the affinity group and promoted more heavily than the others (as an 'official' flyer/fylers) but, anyone who has the desire and resources can print up and flyer their own design if they wish, that is encouraged (tho obviously distro wont apply to you or other ppl who dont live in the UK :P).

Well, one thing I was thinking, is whether we want to create all new images, or, take the piss out of Rock against communism?, and perhaps have a slogan around that?

Not sure I like the idea myself, but as the name is sort of a parody already, I just wonder what other people think.

I am, I can only make stuff with paint, but it might be handy to get the names of the bands that are coming, or at least how many bands are coming.

As i said things are still in the preliminary stage so nothing is confirmed as yet, if you like just make up some band names as place-holders in your design... then later when the real band list has been determined you can replace the place-holders with the real bands :)
