Concepts can be overrated. After a few years of coming up with witty or subversive concepts for the club nights at Ministry of Sound I’d noticed a consistent trend with the briefs that would come in. The club nights were the core of the brand, they were where everything started.
I looked back at the earliest club flyers from the late 80’s and early 90’s. Many were monotone, basic ‘non-designs’, created by promoters to get the word out quickly and cheaply. I decided to try stripping everything back to its core - let the typography do the talking.
