We all see the national MMA event posters from UFC, Dream and Strikeforce so I wanted to give a chance to the local shows. Post cool local event posters from your area. I will start it out

These posters are on par with a lot of the stuff the "big league" promotions put out. Truthfully, in this day and age, it's very easy to find a hungry, artistic marketer/designer to put together quality stuff on the computer. The sad part is, Strikeforce, Zuffa, etc probably pay a lot of money for very comparable quality to the stuff like this.
One thing that doesnt make for a good design for a local poster is the promoters need to put every fighter he can on the card. They see it as, the more guys that get excited about being on the poster the more tickets they will sell to their family and friends...(mainly this happens with amateur cards)
I am always trying to talk promoters into putting less fighters, sponsors and info on the piece so their brand or event is not lost in the chaos. I understand that getting the info to the consumer is important but sometimes quantity does not always equal quality with a design piece. Thats what a website, facebook is for.
For one event, the promoter insisted we have as many fighters on the poster so i made a series for the event. I put different fighters on each poster and changed the color.
those look better then most of the UFC posters
now post some shitty ones
