Weekend World is a group of organizers of events in the 1990s in the rave party movement. This flyer was designed for Weekend World 1989 Part II, held at M25 Orbit on August 5, 1989.

On this flyer we find the name of the organizer and the date, with little information that goes beyond that. We can see a globe which is often present in the flyers of Weekend World. The design is quite characteristic of the flyers of this time; with a lot of illustration and a particular graphic composition featuring titles around the edges, turned 90 degrees. The typeface is Stop – a popular choice for hardcore and rave (see for example the Pont Aeri logo).

The use of the illustration is very common for rave flyers. But I find that the choice of colors is quite modern. Many flyers from this era use rather excessive and saturated color combinations. In contrast, this flyer is consistent in its use of colors.
