In their own words
I feel as if posters are a staple piece for designers. They’re a nice tidy frame where you can push and play with all the fundamentals – type, hierarchy, image, colour, composition.
I wanted to reduce as much noise as possible when showcasing each individual poster, and use that as an opportunity to go bolder on the sections that might have otherwise been less interesting.
It was always important for the book to be able to lay flat, so each poster could be exhibited clearly.
Optically kerning a typeface is always the best way.
I have a long list of ideas for typefaces, and the list is always growing.
I’m excited to carry on expanding the Frost library.
