A while back I knocked up a Helvetica poster called 100% Helvetica, 0% Arial – Typography Poster. A semi educational poster on the importance of using Helvetica.

A clean and minimal helvetica typographic based poster design, free for you to download. I have never understood the phrase “less is more.” How can ‘more’ really be ‘less’. Frankly, it’s a stupid saying. So, this poster put’s things right, at least in my crazy crazy world. And if you want to really debate it, meet me down the pub for a beer.
