Made from actual metal type — or “ceated with all the misfit characters of former font family” as commenter Aaron put it — this Misfits poster is all hand-arranged.
“So You Need a Typeface?” Poster

DESIGNED BY

Originally popularized as a viral image around the design blogs, the metallic print on black paper is the perfect companion even if you don’t need a typeface.

For authors in the making, this poster from 826 National asks the question no author wants to hear. For designers, it asks how cool is all this Avenir type put together like this?
Tweed Tom Poster

Early iPhone prototype? Steampunk installation? IBM headquarters? No, no, and no. Just 40 inches of silkscreen goodness.
The Cheaper Show Print

DESIGNED BY
|
PRINT METHOD
Intaglio by New Leaf Editions
|
An amazingly designed poster executed through an exclusive process, Intaglio, “Sort of a reverse letterpress, where the design is etched in a plate, ink is placed in the hollow spaces, paper then placed on top of the plate, and finally pressed to grab the ink.”

Katy Perry’s California Gurls begs to be typeset in blackletter and sprinkles. So glad someone had the mettle to make it happen.

PRINT METHOD
Letterpress by Lunar Caustic Press

If you are going to learn a lesson, it might as well be in an exquisitely designed and deeply letterpressed piece of paper as is this Typographic Anatomy Lesson. This happened to be our most trafficed post of the year.
Indianapolis Museum of Art Title Graphic and Poster

Such a great concept: tear-off posters that encourage interactivity, that look hot, and that speak to the subject at hand. Rip!
“Like a Glove” Poster
|
DESIGNED BY
|
PRINT METHOD
Flocking by Great Lakes Flocking

I personally enjoy closing FPO’s Best of 2010 with this poster, one of my favorites. Not only is it timely — I bet you are cold right now — but it employs a seldom used technique that looks and feels so great on paper. So, happy holidays and hope to see some great submissions to FPO in 2011.
This post was published in the original layout of FPO so all images are smaller. Project descriptions as well as production lessons are quoted in the main content area.
