Fundamentals

A couple of posters from this Fundamentals night in Detroit which I have a feeling is run by Kyle Hall, not sure who's done the posters but they have a nice playful style which I quite enjoy. particularly the 'Fundamentals' type, I did something a little similar for a friend of mine a while back.......not a copy of course....just inspired....

Arcade Graphics

Found these from http://artofthearcade.com/ , a decent blog kind of thing that displays quite a few old pieces of art and design relating to old arcade machines and stuff like that. Haven't looked at a lot of design in a while but I'm well drawn to these bold colours and stylings.

cheers mate

thought i'd put this up as it's another ten year thing...nice quirky bit of type, interesting choice of font and all that. Not sure who designed it but it's always nice to see something with a bit of originality...I like the two birds on either side of Oi Polloi..

Popular Mechanics 110th

Some nice lettering by Jordan Metcalf from South Africa. I suppose it's nothing overly original or whatnot but it looks absolutely crisp nonetheless...works well for the anniversary of a magazine kinda thing.

Skullz

A packaging design by Emmanuel Cook; features a wicked idea for folding. The fold houses each vinyl/cd in its own little compartment with a sort of index along the bottom. It looks a bit dark for what I want to do but I am aiming to try and make a fold as interesting as this.

"The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" Soundtrack

Unique packaging for the soundtrack to the fairly recent film...not the original of course...the re-make. It's cool how presenting a soundtrack in this way allows it to become a piece of art in its own right, still connected to the film, but something that can be appreciated on its own. I particularly like the translucent packaging used to contain all the components, it reflects the coldness of the film fairly well. This was created by Neil Kellerhouse, Jean-Baptiste Mondino, Rob Sheridan, Anders Linden, and Baldur Bragason.
