For an extremely special 35th issue of Posterzine, we showcase the work of renowned German designer, writer and infamous typographer Erik Spiekermann. Erik Spiekermann founded MetaDesign (1979) and FontShop (1988) and is behind the design of well-known brands such as Audi, Bosch, VW, German Railways and Heidelberg Printing to name a few. Erik is also managing partner and creative director of Edenspiekermann with an impressive international team with offices in Berlin, Amsterdam, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Posterzine is a monthly magazine that opens up into a gorgeous A1 (594x841mm) format poster and folds down into an A4 monograph, lithographically printed by Pressision Ltd onto quality G.F.Smith Naturalis papers, using two (or more) special Pantone ink colours. In this fabulous issue, you can find an exclusive interview with Erik where he tells us why we shouldn’t work for assholes with a glorious fold-out A1 version of his original letterpress printed poster. This issues sale proceeds will go to Grafik in the hope of someday bringing it back into print, so please show your support and keep print alive!
