There are two things that you should know about Daniel Peter. Number one, he’s a pretty exceptional graphic designer and number two, he’s quite a dab hand when it comes to designing posters. Living and working in Switzerland, Daniel’s portfolio is bursting with creativity and flair and, with his use of wonderfully inventive typography and bold block colours, you can’t help but go all giddy at the fruits of his talents as a graphic designer.

Designing posters right across the board from trendy-yet-sleek music posters (who would know that the words “Dollhouse Bitch Queens” could be made so beautiful?!), to Star-Trek like designs, Daniel somehow manages to do it all beautifully – and with his portfolio containing literally hundreds of examples of different work it seems that his talent really does have no bounds.

A graphic poster featuring a grid of colourful, rounded organic shapes in red, pink, brown, yellow and blue. Text across the shapes reads “10 Jahre Kulturwerk 118 Sursee” and lists a series of events from March 2008, including “Art Brut” and “Die Party”.

A black and white typographic poster reads “HEY! TONAL CAST SPELLS”. The letters are constructed from fragmented, geometric shapes that create a 3D effect. Header text at the top reads “SÜDPOL” and “DO 25.02.10”, with smaller details about a math-jazz-rock concert.

A graphic poster for a concert at “Südpol” on 26 June 2010. Bold black text reads “My heart belongs to Cecilia Winter” over a large orange triangle and a black-and-white photo of a person.

A black and white typographic poster for “Gaswerk!” featuring a series of event dates and names. The text is presented in 3D blocks that create a sense of depth against a background of lunar landscapes and space imagery.

A graphic poster for a music event at “Südpol” on “FR 16.04.10”. A hand holds a white object, surrounded by abstract yellow shapes, red stairs, and black-and-white textures. Bold text at the bottom reads “Black Cracker”, with “Joy Frempong, CH” and “DJ Captain Zachov” listed as performers.

Daniel Peter: Oy, Black Cracke

A bold red and white poster featuring the word “Japanik” repeated in large, heavy typography. A thick black diagonal line cuts through the centre of the composition. Small black text at the top reads “Südpol” and “21.01.10”, followed by event details.
