Type Inspiration for MailShot- Simon Walker


I love this look in type. For example the 'Scouts' and the "Motion" have this lovely feel to them. They look almost quite vintage and old fashioned. I want to try and interoperate this look of type into my DataInputters poster. Theres other things to I would like to do (in terms of look) such as make the colour saturated and grainy so it has the appearance of a screen print.
Designs by Simon Walker

I've blogged this screen print because its got the same sort of layout as my poster. For the "will" in my poster I would much rather have it look like the "IS" and "FOR" in this one. The typefaces I have used in my poster are very mainstream basic fonts that you would expect to find on Photoshop. The graininess is also something I admire. Gives the poster age and meaning.

Simon Walkers work seems so sophisticated and clean. His typographic and compositional skills are truly inspirational as he creates these clean and perfectly composed designs.
