Words. Words are shapes, too. The power and meaning in a word to relay a message is incredible. How those words take shape onto a page, much more, the shapes of each individual letter, is an art craft on it's own.
Check out these posters I found:
James Brown -- I love how the different colors and shapes of the words actually create his face. The type of font used is very soulful and funky, just like James Brown's era. Considering this is a poster that is promoting his concert, I think the font chosen is very effective.
This poster is by my friend Bozack Morris. It's promoting a party he does with A Good Life and Brink entertainment. The font used here is very futuristic, as well as with the smaller font used to accent, is the same font that's used on digital clocks. I think the 3D use of the lettering, along with the bright white contrasting the dark starry background makes it really stand out. It gets it's message across quite well.
This last poster is of my friend's band, the Styrofoam Ones. The font used here is a hand written all capitals lettering that goes well with the cartoon caricature drawings of the faces in masks. The use of this font reveals a very grungy hipster kind of band/show, which is exactly the type of group that the Styrofoam Ones are. It definitely does a good job in reflecting the central theme.
These are great inspiring bits to think of for future poster making.
