Flyer maker
Turn any show into a designed flyer in seconds — no design software, no typing.
Every flyer is auto-filled from the show details (date, lineup, venue,
price, age info), so the flyer can never disagree with the show page.
Making a flyer
- Open your show page and go to Flyer studio (`/shows/<id>/flyers`).
- Pick one of the five templates:
- 2011 Classic — the 2011 look: parchment, serif type, centered rules (the default).
- 2011 Neon — the 2011 layout with a neon-on-black club treatment.
- Modern Dark — big condensed type on near-black.
- Modern Poster — bold Swiss blocks of color.
- Modern Minimal — lots of air, thin type, one accent rule.
- Choose design variant A or B (used for A/B testing — see below),
optionally override the headline (blank = the band/headliner name).
- Create flyer — the rendered flyer page opens immediately.
QR codes
Every flyer carries a QR code that encodes the real show URL on this
server (`/f/<flyer>`), which logs the scan and sends the scanner to the
show page. It is generated from the address you're actually visiting the
site on — never a placeholder domain. The QR appears on the flyer page,
the print version, and all social exports.
Social-size exports
On the flyer page, one click downloads a PNG sized for each placement:
- Square — 1080×1080 (feed posts)
- Story — 1080×1920 (stories/reels covers)
- Banner — 1200×628 (event headers, link previews)
These are clean branded renders of the same flyer details (not pixel copies
of the HTML template) — they say "social render" nowhere, they just look
right at each size.
Printing 11×17
The Print 11×17 button opens a print stylesheet: an 11in × 17in page
with crop marks at the corners and a half-inch bleed margin. Print at
100% scale (not "fit to page") and trim on the marks.
Tips
- Fill in the lineup builder and prices before making the flyer — the
flyer pulls support acts, door/advance prices, and age info automatically.
- Only band admins, venue managers, and site admins can create flyers and
download exports. The flyer, print, and teaser pages themselves are public
so you can share the links.
Troubleshooting
- The flyer shows the wrong band name. Set the headliner in the lineup
builder, or type a headline override when creating the flyer.
- The QR scans but goes nowhere. The QR points at this server's address
— if you created the flyer while visiting via a different hostname (e.g.
localhost vs the public domain), re-create it from the public address.
- An export looks plain. Exports are simplified renders by design; the
full designed flyer is the flyer page itself (screenshot it at any size).
