Great British Humour Posters

Beginning life as a College Brief to create a series of "Typography only" posters for a campaign to advertise a new UKTV channel featuring the only the best in classic British comedies called "UKTV Gags". The focus was on the sarcastic, dark, daring, surreal and ridiculous sense of humour that gave us the likes on Spike Milligan, Tony Hancock, Chris Morris and The League of Gentlemen.
Inspired by British WWII and Transport Posters, I used a suitable weight of Gill Sans together with pastel shades reminiscent of seasides and cake shops (I sound like an Innocent Smoothie voice over!) The final posters were a play on old proverbs and also the shows they advertised:

Pleased with how they came out I have decided to produce some limited edition screen-prints of them under the Title: "A Beginner's Guide to Great British Humour Nos 1-4". I hope to get these done soon, watch this space.
