Typographic Helvetica Posters
Not so many moons ago I was once a student, and in my final year there was a class project set to design posters celebrating 50 years of the Helvetica typeface. Well, at the time I chose to do the other project, which was logo design, but… I always wanted to have a go at the Helvetica one. I decided to have a go at this for fun, and just as an exercise in creativity!
I had a few different ideas and concepts, some typographic, some experimental with lots of color, ink splashes and randomness, and even a t-shirt design one! My posters were all based around the theme of “1957″, the year the font was created. You will see a famous Rock Star in one of the posters below… this was a play on the theme of defining moments of 1957, and in this case I chose to use Elvis buying Graceland.
So, here before you now are “the posters that never were”, so to speak.
These can also be viewed on my Graphic Portfolio. And don’t by shy, if you like any of my work, or want to just say hello, you can always drop me an email.
