chloe - i thought you told me that it was a helvetica (that is why i mentioned it fart-knockers). whatever it is, they cut it out and redrew it themselves, and that was the point i was trying to make.
Actually, having studied typographie at the University level, Frank, I can tell you that you are only half right. It is a Narin-derived face called Whothefuckcares BoldCondensed.
this isn't helvetica.. i forget what it is right now...
most of this is drawn by hand.
working as a team is fun.
i draw a bit, yannick draws a bit then we smoosh it together and fuck around with layout..
and ta-da!
Oh, and more old school references--I think you guys will also dig a French design group (now defunct) called Grapus. There was a book on these guys about a dozen years ago, and may be more available in Canada than in the U.S.
Cloe - There's a Polish poster artist (old school), who lives in France that I think you'd like a whole lot--Roman Cieslewicz. Check him out, especially his stuff from the 60s-80s. This poster reminds me of his stuff (not directly, just the spirit).
i have one of these lovelies sitting at my house right now... and it's awesome. It's really large and the loose printing really works with the design...put more of that good stuff up here chloe!
