Excellent use of strong type and simple design by Tom Crawshaw, a Britain-based designer (picked up from AisleOne, one of my favorite design sites).
There’s a lot to be said for simplicity. Generally speaking, if a project’s design elements are well-developed (type, paper, color, spacing), the resulting design will reap the benefits. Tom proved it here with a sophisticated, yet modern design.

Here are some quick poster concepts I did for an upcoming Hart-Boillot/AIGA event. Originally, the event was scheduled around tax time – hence, the tax reference. When the date changed, I did a more general layout targeted at the design community.
