THIS FONT WAS DONE BY MIKE PARKER. THIS WAS THE ONLY FONT POSTER THAT I COULD FIND FROM HIM. THIS FONT IS KIND OF PLAIN. THERE ISNT REALLY MUCH DIVERSITY IN THIS ONE. I GUESS THE POSTER IS SOMEWHAT INTERESTING WITH THE SPACING AND HOW IT GOES IN AND OUT. I DO THINK THE FONT GETS BETTER AT THE BOTTOM WHEN IT GETS SMALLER AND HAS ALL THE DIFFERENT SYMBOLS ADDED TO IT.

THIS PIECE WAS DONE BY MANUEL KREBS. HE WORKS ALONG SIDE WITH DIMITRI BRUNI AND HAS BEEN FOR 10 YEARS NOW. KREBS TAKES HIS TIME ON MAKING HIS FONTS. SOME DESIGNERS ONLY TAKE ONE DAY BUT HE AND BRUNI WILL WORK ON THINGS FOR YEARS BECAUSE THEY ARE "GRAPHIC ARTISTS WHO ALSO MAKE FONTS." THEY WORKED ALMOST 4 YEARS ON ONE OF THEIR LATEST FONTS "REPLICA". I REALLY LIKE THIS PIECE BECAUSE IT IS SO CRAZY BUT ALSO VERY EVEN AND BALANCED. I LOVE THE COLOR THEY CHOSE ALSO. IT GIVES IT A FUN LOOK.

THIS WAS DONE BY JONATHAN HOFLER AND HE HAS DONE MANY DIFFERENT FONTS WITHIN THE HOEFLER TEXT. I REALLY LIKE THIS PIECE BECAUSE OF THE DIFFERENT PLACEMENTS AND THE COLOR. THE FONTS THEMSELVES ARE INTERESTING. I LIKE THAT THEY ARE SIMPLE BUT THEY ARE ALSO ELEGANT AND SOFT. I REALLY LIKE HOW HE CHOSE TO DO THE WHITE "A". IT FILLS THE BLANK SPACE BUT IT DOESNT OVER POWER THE ENTIRE POSTER.

THIS WAS DONE BY OTMAR HOEFER WHO IS A GERMAN FONT DESIGNER. I DIDNT REALLY FIND MUCH ON HIM EXCEPT FOR THIS. THIS PIECE IS REALLY BORING. ITS IS TOO SIMPLE. I GUESS THE ONLY THING INTERESTING ABOUT THIS PIECE IS HOW HE BROKE UP THE WORD WITH HOW YOU SOUND IT OUT. OTHER THAN THAT, THERE IS NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT THIS.

THIS PIECE WAS DONE BY TOBIAS FRERE-JONES. HE IS A FONT ARTIST AND GOT A JOB AT THE FONT BUREAU IN BOSTON. AFTER 7 YEARS OF WORKING THERE HE MOVED TO NEW YORK AND WORKED FOR A HUGE PUBLISHING HOUSE. HE ALSO DID STUFF FOR GQ MAGAZINE. I LIKE HIS STUFF BECAUSE HE DOESNT JUST USE THE SAME WORD OVER AND OVER AGAIN IN DIFFERENT SIZES. HE USES DIFFERENT WORDS WHICH MAKES THIS MORE INTERESTING TO LOOK AT.

THIS PIECE WAS DONE BY WIM CROUWEL AND IT IS CALLED CATHERINE DE SMET. THIS PICTURE IS PRETTY INTERESTING. I LIKE HOW HE HAS ALL THE WORDS PLACED AND BROKEN UP. AND I LIKE HOW THE TOP RIGHT PICTURE IS TURNED ON ITS SIDE WITH THE MAN STANDING SIDEWAYS. THE FONT IS GOOD. IT IS A CLEAN AND EASY TO READ FONT. BUT IT IS STILL BOLD AND A LITTLE DIFFERENT.
