just two of my ideas for posters (ideas stolen from ze germans of yesteryear)

We went for the 45 degree angle one in the end.

Best of the two in my opinion.

Pugsley · 22-08-2008, 07:11

Yeah like the 2nd way more. The colours on the first ruined it for me. And the clock looks a little dodgy

CharmingMan · 22-08-2008, 07:15

think i prefer the first one actually, reminds me a bit of old brockmann posters

cocknose · 22-08-2008, 07:16

nice... but the kerning is appalling!!! as it is a typo poster it should have been addressed more than anything!

oh.. and the prices should be on the tilt too... just looks odd straight...and.. the Fit for Life logo is abit too dominant could have been at about 70% size

when you rotate to 45 you have to make allowances
the exclamation mark looks as if its floating.

sub · 22-08-2008, 09:18

And a smidgen too much kern space me thinks.

chazthetic · 22-08-2008, 10:18

the second version is way more dynamic. looks nice, I like it.

hawken · 22-08-2008, 23:55

thanks for the feedback. Somehow I like the first one more, the second one is kinds cliche

well, I still have some more time on this (a drastic change to the last pro-bono poster they had) so will work in some kerning and so on.

2nd!

CharmingMan · 23-08-2008, 20:27

this must e the original then

pat · 23-08-2008, 20:31

ooooooooo

hawken · 24-08-2008, 02:30

I can probably guess

CharmingMan · 24-08-2008, 05:08

ha joker, he's afraid of the truth poor boy

Liam · 24-08-2008, 05:33

Scandal.

pat · 24-08-2008, 07:32

haha not really, they're both unashamedly inspired/taken from bauhaus type stuff, so the fact that one's nigh on exactly the same but in Japanese i find quite interesting.

CharmingMan · 24-08-2008, 09:51

the same but not half as well executed.

respect to the man who did those. ol aitcher

I never made any claims they were original, even at the top I state they are stolen from german designers of yester year.

I do have charming man blocked for a reason

CharmingMan · 24-08-2008, 09:58

Look he cant hear me, bellend! knobsock! cockjockey!

I wasn't criticising the guy anyhow, he stated in the first post that his ideas were blatently ripped which is fair enough i just want to get a comparison against the original.

This guy is so sensitive, he blocks anyone who has an oppinion that conflicts with his ideas.

Oh well

hawken · 25-08-2008, 00:34

not sure what you're writing but I can probably guess. Yes the first design is a almost 100% like Otl Aicher's 1972 Munich Olympics work. I make no bones about it. Funny how no one was all that keen on it though

please remember, this work is pro-bono for charity with very little time, and we are not using that design anyway.
