Each of them creates a poster for his own event. Here – couple of examples, made by: Henrik Kubel, Airside, Alan Kitching, Andy Altmann, Magpie Studio and GBH. You can find the complete set here.

Laser-cut hand-lettered poster

This beautiful poster for Bladeworks Fencing Club created by the advertising Agency: Rethink, Canada was designed to show that fencing is a fun way to get fit for anyone—not just nerds or Olympians. The traditional Spencerian script was hand-lettered by world-renowned typographer Tony DiSpigna and laser-cut so that it appears the words were cut out of the paper Zorro-style by an extremely skilled swordsman. What do you think about this ad? Do you love the typography as much as we do?

Alphabet Posters for Sustentable Font

Ryman Eco is a free, sustainable font that uses one third less ink than standard fonts and 27% less ink than the leading sustainable font. It’s estimated that if everyone used the font while printing, more than 490 million ink cartridges could be saved every year. The Alphabet Poster Project invited 26 handpicked typographers, designers and art directors to create a unique poster featuring one letter from the Ryman Eco Alphabet. They only printed one single prototype of each poster which was then photographed to be displayed in a digital gallery where people can explore them in detail, and well as download and share them. Check out the video and let us know what you think about this beautiful posters!

Paper cut typographic posters

The LBT posters from Bart Vollebregt are two impressive, colorful works, with carefully cutted elements made with a paper knife and (more complex details) with a laser machine. The Artist explains that “the brief was to create a strong typographic image that would fit their new message towards clients. The choice for papercraft was a direct result from hearing their story. (…) Although the typography is rather static, the dynamic composition makes everything come to life”. Both posters were prepared in two language versions – Dutch and English. The project was made for Creatieve Zaken.

Exhibition, News |

Typo Apeloig

Typo Apeloig is the current exhibition of Philippe Apeloig’s current being held at the Ville d’Aix-en-Provence. Apeloig chooses the world of typography to transcribe emotions from painting, literature and dance into his work. He creates his posters as paintings, which sometimes continue to develop after the formal presentation of the project.

This exhibition highlights the dialogue between graphic design and art, revealed by multiple influences that can be seen transcribed in his work as graphic designer over the years. Typo Apeloig is also a tribute to the commitment between Philippe Apeloig and the Ville d’Aix-en-Provence, initiated in 1997 with Les Écritures Croisées, as part of the Fête du Livre (Book festival) devoted to South African literature.

As part of the exhibition Apeloig will be dictating conferences at the Cité du Livre, Aix-en-Provence and the Amphithéâtre de la Verrière, Galerie Zola. For for information check out Apeloig’s website.
