There wouldn't have been any posters that advertised the acid house raves as they were not regulated. The organisers wouldn't want the authorities getting knowledge about the rave and information on the location so they wouldn't issue posters promoting the event. Tickets and Flyers were given out personally to people who were invited.
The type of look that was associated with the Acid House scene of the late 1980s was called the ‘Balearic Look’. It involved wearing baggy clothes that were more comfortable for the ravers to dance all night long in and was accepted as a unisex look between the ravers. Danny Rampling produced T-shirts with the yellow smiley face on to promote his night ‘Shoom’ and it is said that this night is where the ‘Balearic Look’ came from.
The music at the raves, the ecstasy, the Balearic Look and the revolution of wanting something new created a movement that was similar to the ‘Summer of Love’ in the 1960′s. In fact after reading ‘Altered State’ by Matthew Collin I have learnt that the hippy look and way of thinking of people in the 1960′s had massively influenced the late 1980′s acid house and early 1990′s rave movement, although many people who were involved in the raves at the time wouldn't have realised this.
