Who are 'G.F Smith Paper'?

Before I start to design my poster I thought I needed to find out more information on the company so had a look on their website.

G.F Smith are paper merchants based in Hull. They develop, manufacture and source paper specifically for the graphic design industry and have been trading for the past 100 years.

Below are some poster designs previously used by the company to advertise their paper. All the posters are using the same simple sans-serif typeface running across the page giving a very clean aesthetic.

In this touring exhibition poster designed by SEA I like the way that they have overlapped the text, drawing the eye to the center of the poster.
