Anyone can print a flyer. But making it fabulous? Making it leap off the bulletin board and whisper, “Hey, you—come closer”?
That’s an art.
At Midnight Boheme, we don’t believe in bland. We believe in bold, beautiful, and brand-aligned print pieces that get noticed, remembered, and—most importantly—acted on. Whether you’re promoting a show, launching a product, or advertising your biz, here’s how to add flair to flyers, posters, postcards, and more.
🎨 1. Design Like You Mean It
Your flyer isn’t just a sheet of paper—it’s your brand ambassador. So treat it like one.
Use:
Eye-catching typography (bold titles, expressive headers)
On-brand colors that pop off the page
Hierarchy that guides the eye (what’s most important? What’s clickable?)
Custom graphics or illustrations that feel uniquely you
✂️ Pro tip: Ditch the template. People can smell a Canva default from across the street.
💡 2. Say Something Worth Stopping For
The average poster gets about 2 seconds of attention—if you’re lucky. Make that moment count.
Instead of:
“Live Music This Friday”
Try:
“Drink. Dance. Disappear into the night. Friday at 8.”
Let your copy have personality. Let it sound like you. Whether that’s mysterious, cheeky, elegant, or offbeat—own it.
🖐️ 3. Add Tactile Texture
Print is a physical medium—don’t waste that!
Add elements people want to touch:
Heavy paper stock
Soft-touch matte finishes
Foil accents
Embossed or debossed areas
Die-cut edges or unexpected shapes
🍸 Imagine a cocktail flyer shaped like a martini glass. That’s what we mean by flair.
🧷 4. Make It Interactive
Want your poster to stick in someone’s memory? Make it more than just visual:
Tear-off tabs with QR codes or discounts
Scannable links to Spotify playlists or event trailers
Hidden messages revealed under UV light or gloss overlays
People love a little surprise—and a reason to take the piece home.
🧠 5. Stay True to the Brand
Even if it’s “just a flyer,” make sure it’s still you.
That means:
Using your brand’s voice and tone
Keeping fonts, logos, and colors consistent
Reinforcing your visual identity, even on a single-use item
A cohesive brand builds trust. That trust turns into ticket sales, foot traffic, and followers.
🌟 6. Don’t Just Print—Present
Where and how your piece lives matters:
Does your poster design work from across the street?
Will your postcard stand out in a sea of mail?
Is your flyer cool enough to pin to the fridge?
Design with the real world in mind. Think visibility, scale, and where people will encounter your piece.
