Today’s lecture at Hyper Island - Christian Altmann. We were set out to redesign newspapers fronts, only using Helvetica. Makes me think of this project.

Spanish design company Atipo created this series of posters as an homage to four typefaces: Helvetica Bold, Carousel Medium, Caslon Italic, and Clarendon Bold. Inspired by Erwin Orlaf’s Paradise Portraits—a haunting series of clownish painted faces—designers Raul Garcia Del Pomar and Ismael Gonzalez smeared black and white makeup on models’ faces.
