I've always wanted a big yellow poster!

August 8, 2005 8:18 PM

I would give a lot to have a nice big poster of this leaflet for Jan Tschichold's Die Neue Typographie. I don't think anyone sells prints of it; can anyone help me come up with a Plan B?

For example, are there specialty houses for prints of design classics? Or is my best bet to get the largest hard copy I can and ... well, how would I go about getting it blown up? Or does someone have a brilliant idea I haven't thought of?

Couldn't you just set the type for this yourself?

www.rasterbator.com for getting it blown up, cheap.

If you can find a higher resolution image, zazzle.com makes some mighty nice posters, and they'll enlarge the image for you.

Contact Oaklander Books in Manhattan if you'd like to try to find an original of it. Won't be cheap, though.

Scan it in at about 2400dpi, and locate a local large-format inkjet output house. With that hi-res an original scan, you should have no trouble getting a decent looking 30x40 poster.

They might give you crap about copyright; remind them that it's not for commercial use, and the original is your own property.

Or try another shop; most decent sized metros should have a few.
