The deadline for PRINT’s Typography & Lettering Awards has been extended to Dec. 2! Enter today.
As
Mitch Putnam notes in the intro to his new book, OMG Posters, rock posters are a completely unique art form—“they’re drawn, printed (many by hand), hung, and sold to commemorate a one-night event in a single city. It’s hard to get more niche than that. The editions are usually mind-bogglingly low, often one hundred copies or fewer, never to be reprinted.”
Which is part of why Putnam’s new book is such a delight.
Another reason? The interviews with poster creators—and, of course, the array of amazing lettering and type found in their work.
Here is an array of our favorites. Grab a copy here.
