This is a potentially ongoing series of type specimen posters featuring Changethethought studio’s most favorite type faces. They have not been printed yet and appear placed over an image template, to give the viewer a notion of physicality (white folded poster background borrowed from Stefan Lucut).
Specs:
Quantity: 750
Size: 3.5 in x 1.75
Paper: Black Plike
Colors: Holographic foil stamp
Changethethought business cards were letterpressed with holographic foil by local Denver production studio Foils and Dies. The end result was an attempt at realizing the colors from the website in the physical world.
I know it is impossible for it not to sound like a cop out when you are a graphic designer, artist or hipster to say that 2001: A Space Odyssey is your favorite movie, but it is. So sue me. Stanley Kubrick is also my favorite director. Futura is one of my favorite fonts. You put all of those things together, with a night in front of a computer while your favorite movie is playing, and you feel inspired to create some posters to commemorate one of your all time loves.
I couldn’t resist making a poster to celebrate the announcement of Rio winning the bid for the 2016 Olympics. My wife is Brazilian and I must confess a real love for the city. There will most likely be more of these posters in the future. The image is from an actual photo I took of Corcovado. It was a recycled graphic from an earlier poster.
This is a recycled graphic that was converted into a self-promotional poster. The background uses a cropped pattern created using the Changethethought logo.
This is an older image created some years back that I have decided to resurrect and print as a poster. Love is the world’s only true currency.
The typography within this poster was actually created one word at a time for a series of frames to be hung in the den of my home around a large wall clock. I decided it might be nice to put them together into one poster.

I wanted to merge both my love for transcendental metaphysics with my love for typography. Can that be done? The process of repetition in the creation of the work and the chanting of ‘I am’ was introspective and integral to the idea of the poster. The idea was to create something that was at once poetic, but also a nod to the history of design and typography. I was also attempting to convey this in the spectrum of color much like a person whose moods and life can transition through a spectrum.

These posters will most likely be silkscreened. The chocolate poster will be screened on a natural tone stock while the lime colored poster will be screened on heavy white stock.

A little 80′s skate, new wave, Art Chantry inspired number created to remind people that it’s o.k. to criticize, so long as you make sure you get out there and create something too.
I read in a book about Metaphysics that our culture of ‘survival of the fittest’ is strangling the progress of the United States both internally and diplomatically in our relationships with other countries. We seem to want to refuse the glaring fact that if we do not unite in a common goal to make the world better together we will fail as a group of selfish disparate individuals. The poster ‘We Not Me’ is a small psychological creative jab at this paradigm.
‘God is a verb’ was a contextual quote pulled from the late great Buckminster Fuller. It subtly implies that God is energy, never static, always creating and moving. It also implies that in order to be like God, you should get off your ass, get out there and try to make a difference by taking action.
