Letman

All of the following images were found at http://www.letman.com/ and give a good example of successful lo-fi style typographic lead work. Letman is based in the Netherlands Check out the lack of rulers, cos, you know, rulers are evil.

I'm kind of worried that I am indeed in the wrong business. This was for New York Times Magazine. Really nice use of colour and negative space for the text. The two colours and overlayed negative space looks really sweet.

50th Anniversary of Island Records. Very blocky to fill out the space, reminiscent of my own work in this way.

The image on the left is the front of every flyer, then the back contains all the elements of the front, but reordered and redesigned. It is a poster and flyer for a new years eve party. I am particularly drawn to the handrendered style and limited colour pallet (red and black is pretty much all i do, but i have been getting into using other colours too! hence my interest in the blue).

I really love the idea of using all the parts of one poster to produce completely different designs. Its amazing the flexibility of the concept. The above 'backs' are probably my favourites. The stacking of the blue text in the left image with what would be the title piled on top has an almost oriental alphabet fee to it. Similarly, the verticalisation of the blue text on the right is interesting and the use of the title parts to create a visual flow between the blue parts is really interesting.
These backs seem to be a little more dada and anarchic. Almost too anarchic though, like a junior school collage or something.

A3 folded flyer for a bi-monthly party called Jungstar (previously Zeitgeist). Interesting colour scheme, i like the slight overlays. The slight angle is a bit embarrassing tho.

This one is slightly more leaflet-y than the others. its like...LAYED OUT. shock horror. I cant decide if its good or not. The little circles thing is kinda of interesting, but the actual layout is pretty boring. nice green print tho.

This seems like such a massive cliche. I like how simple and doodly it is tho! Not sure about red and pink like. Also, for me, the photo in the text kind of ruins it.

This is sinister. The colours are cool, but i dont like the guy's eyes being underlined in red. it makes me think of adam ant and the shining at the same time. Also, the font is very lo-fi but possibly a bit too blocky, im not really a fan of the middle of those E's. The outlines are weird too.

I really like this print. its balanced the leaflet/flyer/poster format perfectly.Nice choice of colour, interesting layout and positioning of information when its folded up. I like the SPOT colours (the dots mean, i was trying to be a smart arse there).
