Manipulated Text in Show Posters as hommage to xerox DIY posters

These first show poster is done by Daniel Pellesier (Disruptive Patterns) and used the xerox machine with the images to slightly warp the images and orientation of the text, however still readable. This is done in a san serif (helvetica) and replicates a poster that is entirely done on the xerox machine as a sort of fetishization of DIY and punk culture.  

The second poster is done by Jesse Osborne Lanthier. Here he cut up the list of tour dates and repositioned them so that it has a collage effect over the main image of the poster. The font is a mix of a san serif (helvetica perhaps) and a very modern font which has been stretched across the poster and is seen as some of the numbers. This is inspiring to see the mix of two fonts in the tour date section as a contact point between the title and the text of the poster. 

These are both inspiring manipulation of texts because they don't accept the original form of the typeface, and distort and stray away from the grid symmetry that we find comfortable.
