This is a poster I created to honor the famous typographer, Herbert Matter:

It uses his style of minimal color use, which is usually red. The font his name is in is the font he used most commonly (or at least a very similar font). He was known for his photomontage skills, so I wanted to make it look like everything was more like a photo and used as textures instead of a basic color of read and white. The lines coming from his cigarette come from an actual piece of his that I traced in Illustrator, which is supposed to symbolize the smoke coming from the cigarette. The silhouette is from an actual picture of him as well and is also a play on another piece of his that includes the silhouette of someone's head.

The theme of the poster is supposed to be as if Netflix had a show about Herbert Matter. "The Swiss cheese of Typography" was the subtitle I gave the show because Herbert is a Swiss-born American, and Swiss cheese is a unique but iconic type of cheese (as is he). The quote is the most well known saying from Herbert Matter, which I think shows great motivation for doing any sort of craft and could attract many different people to watch the show.

Here's another version that I enjoyed a lot:
