two poster campaigns that caught my eye this week: a ‘stars and types’ theme in the latest from amsterdam sinfonietta (studio dumbar) and an almost nostalgic and cheery feel to the huge letters for techno festival mysteryland… a big departure from their previous designs…
nice typographic poster that caught my eye around town; which isn’t very difficult judging by the amount of really really badly designed posters that are now hanging around amsterdam, made by designer (and musician) peter te bos
the first in a series of posters created for HMA: the amsterdam music theatre dance & opera performances, way back in 2010/11
the often, poor quality of the publicity photos provided was the reason we used a strong and simple red border for the visual identity to create a simple motif, which proved very effective in making the series of posters instantly recognisable on the streets of amsterdam
several weeks back (20th sept.) i was invited to do a short presentation as a guest of bno utrecht, a fun gathering which was held at the wonderful (but soon to be defunct) gallery and creative workspace of kapitaal in utrecht
i shared the evening together with my friends from studio mals and passionate type designer peter bilak, we each had 30 minutes to do our ‘thing’ and there were inspiring words to be heard from both parties
i was allowed to finish up with a (ridiculous) presentation; attempting (against the organisers’ advice) to present 300 slides in max. 30 minutes, eventually coming in under the allocated time by at least 10 minutes! but judging by the reactions, i managed at the very least… to entertain the crowd
once again, thanks for the (i was honoured) invitation, delicious meal and fun evening! see you all again soon i hope…
i stumbled across these really nice type-based posters from turkish graphic designer erman yilmaz
