A must have in your shelf if you love grid, typography and good editorial design.

It all began one frosty morning, in Thomas Parker House when Matt, Liam and myself began something very special. Running out of ways to procrastinate, we actually decided to do something productive. We began thinking of ways to raise cash for our end of year degree show, other than emptying our own wallets.
It began with one e-mail and two names - Kate Moross and Jon Burgerman. Desperately pleading for anything that could be auctioned to raise money, we were ecstatic at the arrival of two very generous contributions and we realised that this was going to be BIG. Our goal was realised when we met with two of our lecturers, both envisaged a huge event… A big venue, a special guest auctioneer, a website and a catalogue, not to mention posters… So, here we are.

Its an A3 poster with 72pt. Halbfett Haas Grotesk in one colour and 72pt. Halbfett Helvetica in another.
To make some funds for my final major project I was hoping to sell a few
