David at September Industries has put the finishing touches to his Cinematypography posters. The poster features the creative input of some of the UK’s best designers and agencies such as Build, KentLyons, SampsonMay, This Studio and Un.titled & more.
They are priced at a very reasonable £15, with 25% of the proceeds going to Oxfam. A total of 50 posters have been printed and 20+ were reserved during the early stages of the project, so make sure you snatch one up before they all disappear!

That is horrible. It’s like a college exercise gone wrong.
Its nearly as bad as the Beatles T-shirt that Jetset did that had the names in the wrong order purely because it looked a little nicer. Then most people who wore them have never owned a Beatles album.
Just my opinion!
If a no name designer did that it wouldn’t get a look in.

Cheers for that Glenn
Chris,
At the end of the day you’re either going to love it, or hate it.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion

Of course!
No one listens to me anyway so I wouldn’t worry about it.
The photograph on the website front page is over exposed too

It was a good project, but somehow I have to agree with Chris a bit. It looks good, it’s interesting, but I don’t see how my wall will benefit from it.
Good effort David!

Are we this bored!? If there’s anything this poster says to me it’s that we’re all spending too much time staring at our silver framed screens and too little getting inspired by real life.
I know it’s just a bit of fun but I think the modernists would encourage us to use our abilities and skills for something that has a bit more purpose?
Especially when it involves some of the best minds and design talent in the country…
On the other hand what it does do perfectly is support David’s blog and I’d buy it for that reason alone. Hopefully the next project will be a bit more exciting!?

I slightly disagree with Ed there if only to say that it has got a purpose and the only reason to buy is is not to support SI but to support Oxfam! Hello!
And also, mine’s on there! Woohoo!

Also it is worth mentioning David is a young designer, I think still a student?! So really, I think he’s doing pretty well for himself. College project gone wrong? College project gone right I’d say.

Thank you for backing me up on that on that one Emma
For those of you that don’t know, I am a 2nd year student and the way this project came about was by complete accident. I’m not usually the type (no pun intended) to include more than 1-3 typefaces in my work but I decided to make an exception this one time. After all, when you’re collaborating with some of the best UK has to offer, you can’t exactly say no!
It’s worth noting that the poster will most likely be sold out tomorrow (to those that haven’t reserved). I’ll keep you posted

just to say that’s just my reaction to the concept – nothing personal D as you are definitely super talented and you’ll never please everyone that’s for sure! I’ve ordered mine and I hope everyone on FFF does the same… maybe no hope for Chris though!

Appreciate the kind words Ed
I just gave Mr. Place the general gist of the design process of the poster which you may be interested in. Hopefully it should tie up any loose ends.
“…The poster caused me a lot of grief during the design process.
Believe me when I say that It was a real challenge trying to create a dynamic layout using 70 different typefaces arranged in alphabetical order; but in the end I settled with what you see here, which in a way, pays homage to the scrolling credits at the end of films without being centered.
(The colour of the poster itself is also a nod to the Silver-screen)
The “credits” set in 45 Light didn’t work in a list so I separated them into something that worked with the layout of the titles. I consequently ended up nudging the “credits” to the right aligning them to the grid (as flush left wasn’t working) giving the poster a bit of visual colour on the left hand side.
Everything you see on the poster was thought out considerably, and I understand why the layout might not appeal to everyone
