“The Hidden Message of Jingle Bells” Poster

DESIGNED BY Paragon

PRINT METHOD Letterpress by N/A

Jingle bells decoded as an infographic? Letterpressed in heart-warming hues? I feel jingly inside!

Good Morning/Good Night Poster

DESIGNED BY Divisionof/

PRINT METHOD Letterpress by Dolce Press

The world would probably be a better place if more things were letterpressed in glow-in-the-dark ink. Until then, this poster can keep you company all morning and all night.

“Typefaces of the World” Poster

DESIGNED BY Shelby White

PRINT METHOD Offset by Cereus Graphics

The quick folks at Scribble on Everything scooped up this image that was making the rounds on the internet to convert it into an amazing offset poster on black paper.

HyperQuake 10th Anniversary Letterpress Poster

DESIGNED BY HyperQuake

PRINT METHOD Letterpress by Defrance Printing

As far as posters of the year go, this is one of the tiniest but it packs a big punch with bold, orange typography and exemplary ornamentation in blind letterpress. It not only looks great but also feels great to the touch.

Something Terrifying Poster

DESIGNED BY Kyle Kargov

PRINT METHOD Silkscreen by Mama’s Sauce

Another great black paper poster that will appeal to both Batman and typography fanboys. Simple. Fearsome.

Weather Visualization Poster

DESIGNED BY CLEVER°FRANKE

PRINT METHOD Offset by Zwaan Printmedia

Weather, data, and infographic nerds rejoice! This huge poster reproduces the 2010 weather data in Utrecht, The Netherlands.

AIGA 2011 Cause/Affect Poster

DESIGNED BY Tim Belonax

PRINT METHOD Offset by Hemlock Printers Silkscreen by Various

These are true collaborative posters in more ways than one: the first blue layer was designed by Tim Belonax, then special “marks” (the hammer, the “x”, etc.) were designed by various designers, and then they all came together to silkscreen those marks on top of the previously offset printed layer.

Fauna Friends Japanimals Posters

DESIGNED BY Nihonzaru: Alex Pearson Koi: Julian Baker Kitsune: Scott MacDonald Tora Shiro: Andy Young

PRINT METHOD Silkscreen by Kangaroo Press

Alex Pearson makes it into the FPO Best of the Year two times in a row with another wonderful, collaborative set of posters. Printed on red paper, this collection features mythical animals from the Far East.

MeWithoutYou Poster

DESIGNED BY Shed Labs

PRINT METHOD Silkscreen by Shed Labs

This poster manages to be both joyous and lugubrious. Perhaps it’s the gloss varnish they added to the black that makes it work so well in both spectrums.

Henry + Co. Posters

DESIGNED BY Ferreira Design

PRINT METHOD Offset, Foil Stamping, Embossing, and Die-cut by Henry + Co.

These posters are embossed so hard and foil stamped so shiny that they could pass for a shield in 300.

Tom Rowe Promotional Poster

DESIGNED BY Tweed Tom

PRINT METHOD Silkscreen by Bob Eight Pop

There is no poster like a Tweed Tom poster: dense with joy and graphics and color and how-did-he-do-that?s that it’s almost annoying. This 5-color beauty comes with a subtle gradient in the back that goes from green to blue, adding some unexpected dimension.

Just My Type Poster

DESIGNED BY Jude Landry

PRINT METHOD Silkscreen by Jude Landry

And, also, there is no poster like a Jude Landry poster: simple, striking, and all kinds of hangable. This poster is a scratchy rendition of his own beautifully letterspaced alphabet, “Blackzidenz.”
