Type design and typography is one of the key elements of a basic poster design. On the one hand, headline type needs to be legible to communicate the message of the poster; but how do you balance it with the rest of the elements of a poster? Graphics, photos, information, illustrations… indeed, there is a lot to be considered in a poster than one might think. In this issue, expect to see some of the genre’s heavyweights and their love for type and poster design.
