An Introduction to Typographic Posters





This set of posters explore the same theme, but with different quotes and colours.  The calligraphy, the typeface, the textures and the identity at the bottom remain consistent - allowing them to work as a set.

Both posters use photography to complement the typography.  Granted, I will not be using illustrative type, but the way the imagery backs up the worded message is something that could have a greater impact when dealing with emotion.

Typography doesn't have to be limited to poster design.  T-shirt design is another good outlet for typographic arrangement.  The 3 examples above are all on the same colour, use the same typefaces and grids to promote consistency.  I think matching colours is unnecessary, it limits variation within the set and narrows down the target audience - other colours should be available to adhere to different fashion sense.
