Famous Poster Designers

Armin Hofmann

The posters he created in the late 1950s and 1960s for cultural clients such as the Kunsthalle Basel and the Stadttheater Basel possess great typographic and photographic purity of form. His designs represent an idea in it’s most pure form as possible for example, he uses an altered photo of an ear to represent sound.

 













Studio Dumbar

Studio Dumbar’s work is colorful and a perfect example of typography being integrated into a design. The studio uses stretching and pulling to push type to the point of near illegibility.


Paula Scher

Scher is included in this list because of the way she turns and organizes type to create modules and interesting pattern in her posters for the NY Public Theater. Scher also uses vibrant color and lines to organize and call attention to different aspects of her designs.

  

Joesf Muller-Brockmann

Josef’s work can be categorized as Swiss International Style. Brockmann utilizes this rigid structural system while at the same time integrating his type into his designs and images in an interesting manner.  



Herbert Matter

Matter’s work is included on this list because of his unique type treatment in titles. Particularly in the magazine Art and Architecture.
