does it matter how big the sheet is, or if its laminated or in color w/ pics or what?

also the text, should it include basiclly what the CD is? who its directed to and why it would sell? (sales points?)

DONT DO THE 1-SHEET IN COLOR, CUZZ MOST PLACES THAT YOU WILL NEED TO FAX TO WILL NOT HAVE COLOR FAX MACHINES OR IT WILL JUST FAX LIKE A PAGE THAT IS ALL BLACK, THUS DEFEATING YOUR PURPOSE.... I WENT AND SPENT LIKE $600 FOR LIKE 20,000 FULL COLOR 1SHEETS AND CITY HALL COULD NOT FAX THEM TO ALL THE STORES... SO TO SAVE SOME MONEY JUST MAKE A NICE BLACK AND WHITE ONE SHEET, WITH THE COVER OF YOUR ALBUM SAYING ITS A NEW RELEASE AT THE TOP.... BELOW THAT OR ON THE SIDE, LIST THE FEATURES, BELOW THAT OR TO THE SIDE YOU COULD ADD A TRACK LISTING, BUT ITS NOT NECESSARY.... BELOW THAT, WRITE WHAT YOUR SCEAM IS, SUCH AS, WHERE YOUR PROMOTING IT, ARE YOU PRESSING FLYERS, POSTERS, SNIPPEST, PERFORMING LIVE ETC.... MAKE IT SOUND LIKE YOU DOIN BIG THANGS, BUT KEEP IT SHORT,,,

BELOW THAT WRITE A SHORT PARAGRAPH ABOUT THE ARTIST AND LABEL

AND FINALLY AT THE BOTTOM CORNER INCLUDE YOUR BARCODE, AND SOMEWHERE INCLUDE THE PRODUCTION CREDITS, EXECUTIVE PRODUCER AND YOUR CONTACT INFO, SUCH AS WEBSITE, EMAIL, AND PHONE NUMBER AND WHO TO CONTACT...

SOUNDS LIKE ALOT, BUT THAT IS INDUSTRY STANDARD IF YOU RTEALLY WANT TO IMPRESS SOMEONE.....

I'll post an example in the next day or two. Whatever you do, DO NOT LAMINATE IT!!! It looks stupid. I used to get one sheets every fuckin' day when I did my magazine and I got a few that were laminated and I was disgusted. It looks very unprofessional. Some of the best one sheets I've seen were the ones for Totally Insane "Backstreet Life" / Street Thugz "Not To Be Fucked With" / Herm "Still Trying To Survive In The Ghetto". I'll probably post up that "Backstreet Life" one in the next day or two.

Gone,

Also for online promotions, I suggest including "siccness.net" because chances are whoever you're sending it to is familiar with us either because we've called and harrassed 'em, mailed or emailed them something in the last month..

We've been networking like crazy. Let 'em know we get 350-400,000 hits a day..

Good luck man. If you need help with writing, get at me..
