I think it's a lot better; there are still issues with it imo but its far superior to the original

Nice pic, though not sure of its relevance.
If its called the all dayer why is the pic of a lamp at night?
Surely it should be a daytime pic? or not, I dunno.
Kerning also looks too loose on the date imo. Tighten it up.
- I actually think a twilight pic makes most sense.– kelpie

a lot better indeed, might want to align the date, the text underneath it and the blue diagonals

i remember when photographs of lamposts used to be used in all sorts of things. bonus points of they are in misty car parks.
yep, same flyer, now with lampost. probably could have kept it in the same thread.
hats off to kelpie for being nice though... i blame the lions.

lose all the boxes, the diagonals and just work on setting the text properly on top of the image. anything other than the text serves no purpose except to make the flyer look dated.
- couldn't agree more.– kelpie

It's better. But like detritus said, the alignment is fucked.
- By 'fucked' I mean fail.– Raniator

Some advice:
Your design is full of extraneous elements. Why? Two reasons:
1) your taking aesthetic cues from other, older designs. Both Saville's factory stuff and TDR's 90s work (45º lines etc).
2) You are not designing to an idea. Design is about ideas. What are you trying to communicate above and beyond the venue/date info?
Solutions: Work with what you've got. Maybe design a logo or wordmark for platform promotions since they don't have one and then develop a look and feel system that you can use for all subsequent promotions based on that logo.
Saville's work for Factory records took its visual look and feel in part from warning and hazard signs that you might find in a factory so it made sense.
In your other post you showed an old flyer for the same company that was based around london undergroud. Why not pick up on the whole platform/rail graphic vernacular?
You could based your design loosely on the tube map or some other visual train cliche. That way, you'd have link to the promoter's name and a reasoning for your graphic look and feel.

Why can't QBN be full of Baskerville's
My style is very much inspired by Saville and TDR but i dont think in anyway is dated as that sort of design, used in the right way in timeless.
My idea was keep it simple, very neutral.
The Chevrons wasent a completely random design trate, from trains stations here in birmingham they appear frequently that was my link to platform.
The Abstract shapes above the All Dayer type is the siloette of 'The Flapper' and i went out and took that picture last night, its to show it goes on all day and the light puts like a spotlight over the whole flyer..
and if anything the 'london underground' is overused and so is the tube map idea. considering we are in birmingham how would it related to a birmingham gig promotor and brummie bands?
- nah the stuff saville and tdr took their own leap from is timeless, and its the stuff you need to look at in order to get it.– kelpie1/2

Already much better,
follow above advice about the grid systems above
and it will turn out good.
Btw, using grids & such is not folding to corporate pressure,
its channeling your creativity to make you a better
& more diverse designer.

Get rid of the blue diagonal lines, the light blue horizontal thick lines, the white shape, the black boxes, get rid of all the text and delete the image.

do a bit of reading up about grids likes.
also typography in general.
i.e why is All Dayer + At the Flapper really tight but theres an effing huge gap between Sunday 24th + August 2008
