Meet Pinky!

This is Pinky, the punk, skeleton, Lego man.

I like these posters!

I love both of these posters, there from a web site called keep calm gallery. Oh how I wish they where on my wall! Any one want to buy them for me?

the Rather Difficult Font Game

To continue the theme of my new found font wisdom I played the rather difficult font game. I didn't do too well, I got 15/34.

:: Studioaka ::

I found this studio last year and I pretty much love everything they do. My favourite piece is the lottery ad they did a few years ago though.

'A smile is something special, a ribbon is something rare. So I'll be special and I'll be rare, with a smile and a ribbon in my hair....'

Haas Grotesk v. Helvetica

I used to avoid typography like the plague. I was in a naive cloud of denial that I could be a graphic designer and not appreciate it but recently I've become strangely attracted to it. Maybe I'm just growing up. Any way, this poster was designed by a Graphic's student in Wales called Sam Mallet. While on work experience in Zürich Sam created these posters showing the subtle difference between the 1957 typeface Haas Grotesk and the 1960 typeface Helvetica. I bought one of the posters in red/blue, I see it as the cornerstone of my typography revelation.

Juno Titles

Juno is a brilliant, witty, hart warming, intelligent film with a fantastic soundtrack and the opening titles set it off really well. They were done by Shadowplay Studio who also created the titles for Thank You for Smoking (who had the same director as Juno). Check out their website and while your at it take a look at their Flikr page showing how they made the titles.

yU+Co.

This is the web site for Garson Yu's moving image company, yU+Co. Yu used to work with the genius Kyle Cooper at Imaginary Forces. I've been a fan of this studio for a few years now, not only for their work but also this amazing site, I love it!!!
