These posters were born from an accident and blossomed into a fundraiser.
“This project was born from a small home accident,” said Civaschi, executive creative director and senior designer at H-57 Creative Station, a boutique advertising agency and design studio based in Milan, Italy. “My cat ‘Rommel’ was playing in the library and made my Darth Vader mask fall. When I picked it up, the mask was upside down, and I started examining all its elements. Looking at the upside down mouth, which is made in a shape of a pyramid with some slits, I realized that it formed a ‘W.’ From that point, I had the idea to recreate Darth Vader’s face using only typography.”
Take a look at these beauties:
Lucasfilm employee and Star Wars collector and author Steve Sansweet contacted the agency to learn the story behind the posters, and a discussion began about how it might be possible to satisfy fans’ desires, since the posters couldn’t be sold directly without a license. Now, H-57 is organizing an online sale of a limited number of the Star Wars typeface posters to benefit Make-a-Wish Italy, part of the worldwide group of organizations that raise money to grant wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions.
The proceeds from the sale of these awesome posters go towards the Make-A-Wish Foundation Italy.
