How to tell a Nat Damm poster apart from the rest: (1) Classic balance. Nat tends to go symmetrical, big central images, type sandwiched above and below. This is a tried-and-true poster composition that dates back to the dawn of time. (2) Attention to texture. Nat won't slap some awful modern typeface over a lino-cut or a dirty drawing. He integrates the look of the letterforms with the look of the lines. (3) Same font throughout. Nat tends to stick to one typeface, which I think is a bit limiting, but it's safe, and better than poor type combinations. You can catch his show at Bazr Gallery through September 30.
