Do You Rock Rock Posters at Home?
In general, I prefer original artwork to posters and prints, but there is something about a well-designed rock silkscreen that gets me going. For example, the colors of this Feist poster by Vahalla Studios are downright magnifying. I love its leafy, teardrop pattern and that slender typography.
Nice and New: Blanca Gomez at Velocity
Prints by Madrid-based graphic designer and illustrator Blanca Gomez are now available at Velocity Art and Design, and I'm totally adoring them. Gomez's designs feature classically styled messieurs and mesdames accompanied by colorful balloons, raindrops, and other cheerful, child-like imagery. There's a near-stick-figure simplicity to her figures that evokes 1960s art; it's utterly charming.
Crave Worthy: French Blow-Up Poster
OK, I may have had an irrational love for the 1966 Michelangelo Antonioni film Blow-Up (starring Vanessa Redgrave, Sarah Miles, and David Hemmings) since I was in the womb, but I am not alone in my love for the mod Brit film's killer poster. It often tops lists of the world's greatest and most iconic posters (see here and here), written by cinephiles and design fiends alike, and for good reason. The original 1966 Italian design is the one most fawned over, but there are actually several variations, almost all featuring a sexy model and her photographer.
Nice and New: Saul Bass Posters at MoMA Store
I always struggle when faced with filling out personal questionnaires (they're lame), except when it comes to the "who I'd like to meet" field. My response to this question is always Saul Bass, undisputedly one of the greatest graphic designers of the mid-20th century. Bass's vision has given a face to long-standing brands like Minolta, AT&T, and United Airlines, and he was also a master of film title sequence and poster design, collaborating with the likes of Alfred Hitchcock, Otto Preminger, and Martin Scorsese.
Cool Idea: Growing Works
London-based production designer Óscar Díaz dreamed up a novel printing technique whereby a specific type of paper absorbs ink gradually. The technique allowed for him to create self-printing designs, where numbers on a calendar, letters on a card, or leaves on a botanical (etc.) are revealed bit by bit, so they are "growing works." Quite appropriately, his calendar design showed under the "Gradual" category at the 2007 London Design Festival.
Would You Send Wedding Poster Invites?
Unless Someone Like You, who designs and sells wedding poster invites like this one, says, "For my wedding I wanted something really different, so we sent out 11x17 posters in tubes instead of an invitation." She suggests you "frame and mat the poster with no glass, and set it out at the reception for friends and family to sign the mat with their blessings and best wishes." What do you think of this idea?
Love It or Hate It? Keep Calm Poster
The Keep Calm and Carry On Poster ($35), which was originally posted around Britain during World War II, has been making its rounds in the blog world for months now. It is available in nearly every color imaginable, and its message has even made its way to key chains and doll apparel! Although it first yielded a subtle power over me, it now seems as if I've seen this poster on every blogosphere house tour.
