Type II

In this second instalment of the Hairybones Type feature (check the first here), we present a movie poster created for Stanley Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey'. The fact that it is not an original promotion for the film, but created for a Fine Arts graduation project fails to detract from its genius.

Winner of the Hairybones Gold Bone for Excellence in Typography: Experimental Jetset.

Type

When I started out working in print design and advertising twelve years ago, one of the designers took time out to explain to me the power of type as a graphic medium. "A picture may be worth a thousand words, but it has nothing on some perfectly crafted type." he said.

Type has the ability to instantly convey a mood or a message before the reader even has a chance to read the words that it constructs. Below is one of the best examples I have seen in a while...a new twist on some familiar dialogue.
