Anthony Burrill
It was suggested that as a group we looked at existing typographic poster designs to see what had been done and what worked well. One designer that we were advised to look at was Anthony Burrill, his posters were mainly type based and he focused on quotes about life and general things. The type faces he uses are fairly simple where as ours as a group are a mixture of simple and slightly more complex.

I really like his poster designs, the statements that he has on his designs are short and sweet, but really make you think, they are quite inspirational. The colours that he uses varies from bright colours to toned down neutral ones. His style may not help us with our designs but his content does and the way he portrays it.
----------------------
The keep calm collection has become widely popular and a lot of new designs have come about where people make up their own content but keep the style similar to the original. These posters are fun and sometimes quirky, the colours that are used are always eye catching and the small illustration used makes the content more understandable and clear.
--------------------------
With the posters below, i put in Google images 'motivational posters' and these came up. The design is very literal and i like the use of photography. They are inspirational but i dont feel they have the same great effect as the ones that use solid colour, although that may just be personal preference.
