    I’ve never tried to work on typography but I must say that those pictures are really beautiful and well executed. Maybe I will add a typography category in my design inspiration gallery!

    Some fantastic examples of good typography been working in web recently so its refreshing to see good type rather than being constrained to web typefaces.
    Makes me want to start experimenting again with type in my spare time, I don’t think these kind of layouts can be produced by tutorials it takes a natural talent and hours/days/months/years of study and experiments to produce quality layouts, admittedly they get easier and you can teach the basics but unique layouts like these cannot be taught.

    Your right, I haven’t seen any of these posters before – but I’ve certainly seen the styles plenty of times. In fact about half of them remind me of Josef Muller Brockmann’s work. Perhaps my favourite typographer =D

    Beautiful examples of the care and attention that should be paid to typography. My favourites of the more modern styles are:

    22. Typography Dope
    by Francesco Muzzi

    30. Nothing Can Stop a Good Idea
    by Mauro Hernández

    If I were to create my own poster, I’m not too sure what I’d put on it, probably something personal. And being personal I’d have to use my favourite font – Century Gothic.

    Excellent collection! Personal favorites are 6 AIGA Typo Show and 19 The Cult of the Ugly.

    If I were to do my own poster, it probably wouldn’t be on typography. I’ve done several of those already in school. I’d probably choose a book or a movie as inspiration. Some of the movie posters these days could use improving.

    Humm…Looks like a lot of this work was done by Bauhaus typographic pioneers quite a few years ago. Possible exception, the layered transparencies and grungy splats.

    I do not know what my poster would say, but I do love to play with all the fonts available, so I’d have fun choosing one. One of my current favorites is name “Garamond.” Another font I like is “Berylium.” Love the creativity of this collection.
