Philly’s award-winning design studio, The Heads of State, is a two man operation run by Jason Kernevich and Dustin Summers. After learning their design chops creating posters for Philly bands and music venues, the team has garnered such diverse clients as Starbucks, NPR and Modest Mouse.
I’m a big fan of their Travel Series. The art deco-ish group of city posters pays homage to America’s great cities and historical landmarks with spare graphics that draw inspiration from historical prints and tourism campaigns without being overtly retro pieces.
