Typographic Posters is an excellent site by Andre Felipe that catalogs only graphical or typographical quality poster designs. Any design can apply and then be given access to the site where they can upload their own work.
It’s already shaping up to be an excellent collection with amazing work. Some notable additions include This Studio, David Barath, Michele Genghi, Toko and yours truly.
The poster pictured above is one I’ve been working on but still need to finish.
The giveaway has now ended and the winners have been contacted by email. Thanks to everyone for the great response and for participating. I definitely plan to do more of these so stay tuned for more free goodies!
I want to thank again Chad of Doane Paper for supplying the notebooks and making this possible. Thanks!

I’ve been waiting for an app like this since like forever dude! But after downloading it and playing around with it this morning, I’m a little disappointed.

Damn sexy work from Brooklyn based Studio NewWork. I love their style and it’s great to see work like this coming out of the US.
They also put out a gorgeous magazine.
Mads Jakob Poulsen contacted me about his work and also mentioned that I’ve never featured any Danish design. I was shocked to learn that he’s right. I was also impressed by his work so without further ado, I introduce to you the very first Danish design to be featured here.
Pictured above is a poster Mads created for the Danish traveling guide Turen Går Til. Also, be sure to check out the work he did for World Cinema dk.
For a type geek such as myself, it doesn’t get better than this! I know John will definitely love this.
The Typographic Desk Reference is a quick reference guide of typographic terms and classification with definitions of form and usage for Latin based writing systems. TDR contains over a thousand facts on typography.
Written and designed by Theodore Rosendorf the guide includes a foreword by Ellen Lupton, author of the excellent book Thinking with Type: A Critical Guide for Designers, Writers, Editors, & Students. Can it get any better than this?
The principal text is set in Adobe Caslon, designed by Carol Twombly in 1989.
TDR will be available in January 2009 but you can pre-order a copy from Oak Knoll.
