YouTuber, comedian and graphic design enthusiast Elliot Ulm sits down to deliver his most controversial design verdicts: every Australian state as a font, which typefaces deserve to be banned forever, and why one of the most famous fonts in the world has a very dark history.
Along the way he judges movie posters (Pearl, Marty Supreme, Everything Everywhere All At Once), explains minimalism vs maximalism, settles the great CMYK vs RGB debate, and attempts a full poster design in just 10 minutes.
