National Poetry Month Poster Design

I came across this poster design today for the 2008 National Poetry Month back in April.

The conservative use of color against the stark, white background is beautiful. There is a great sense of movement in the three-dimensional block letters.

The poster was designed by SpotCo, a firm based in New York City that specializes in marketing and design for theatrical events. They have a lot of nice work in their portfolio—worth checking out for inspiration.

The American Academy of Poets maintains a gallery with past years’ poster designs, though none are as impressive as this year’s design.
