TYPOGRAPHY POSTERS WITH PHILIPPE APELOIG

6 posters below are designed by Philippe Apeloig. He is a French designer and very interested in typography. Also, he is fascinated in combining shape, image and meaning. In all of his works, he pays a lot of attentions to create forms from texts and contents. For example, he designed the 6th poster for Louvre Museum on the occasion of 10 years of the Pyramid of Louvre. Apeloig arranged the texts so that they looked like the real pyramid shape of the architecture. Here is his personal website : www.apeloig.com
