Artist's Comments

"All you need to piece together one of these beautifully unoriginal posters is one of the following sans serif typefaces! Don’t forget the type must be BIG, at least 150pt. Bigger the better, hell why not over 200pt. Go wild. As long as the kerning is kept tight and the leading must be virtually non-existent. Now if you’re feeling particularly rebellious, why not try varying the tones of grey. Possibly even use a colour, but be careful! The more personality you give it the less chance you have of making it cool and contemporary. Black type on a white background is far too practical. Remember, practical isn’t cool, so these posters must always be black with white type. Also every poster should have a block of text along the bottom, a description or other details set in 8pt-14pt, also in white."

Sans Originality.

Sure! Let me run that by you again...

It does, doesn't it? I've seen variations of this everywhere. It's probably the most uninspiring trend in typography. People justify this cookie-cutter design by calling it an 'homage' to Swiss modernism. Give me a break. :lol:

Love all those fonts!
:iconjmonzani:
You forgot an even more boring text like "TYPOGRAPHY" or "DESIGN"... or more "meaningful" ones like "typography is the key of design"

Also, for a variation, there's the magenta text on white paper ;)

It could be worse, I should send this to the people who ran my TEFL / CELT course, the cert i got has like 6 different fonts on it. sometimes two within one word, and too many sizes to even count.. and there's like an ________________ where they type in information specific to each person, like Name. Etc... And my name is aligned slightly right of center and CROOKED.. it's the ugliest thing I've ever seen in my life and it cost me 1000 quid.
