The excellent design shop Almost Modern has added a bunch of juicy work to their site. A lot of drool-age going on right now. I do wish that they’d photography their work a little better.

Abel Martinez Foronda
I’m loving this poster series by Abel Martinez Foronda for Domestika. The one above is my favorite. I love the use of the geometric shapes and the italics. Very nice.
Vintage Maps
Here’s an awesome collection of vintage maps that Scott Hansen has compiled. I love this kind of stuff and I always scour eBay for these gems. The simplicity of these cover designs is fantastic. I wish they still looked this good. We now have to settle for this kind of crap.
Ruiz+Company
It’s not often that I fall in love with every single piece in a portfolio. That’s why I was so amazed by the work of Barcelona based studio, Ruiz+Company. Every piece in their portfolio is stunning and beautifully designed. Check out their new identity on the homepage. Stunning.
Type Factory
Fascinating branding work by University College Falmouth student, Huda Abdul Aziz. Type Factory is a full branding project for a fictional typographic museum in South Kensington. The project was awarded a merit by ISTD. I think this is a great example of how masking parts of the characters can create an interesting form, while not disturbing the legibility of the type.
Here’s more from the designer about the idea behind the project:
The concept revolves around the theme of deconstruction. The brand values of the Type Factory identity are informative, engaging and dynamic. The brand promise is about seeing type differently. The design solution includes the logo, a booklet to promote the venue, advertising and applications within the museum.
Anthologie de Musique Suisse Plakat
Check out this stunning poster by the legendary Josef Müller-Brockmann. I’ve never seen this poster design before so it’s gotten me really excited! I’ll have to check my Brockmann books to see if it’s in there, but I don’t recall ever seeing it.
The color palette and the use of a few circles to create the shape of a record make this design stunning. But my favorite part of it all is how the typography, even though staggered, still lines up to a sound grid system. Brilliant.
You can grab this poster on eBay for $300. I’m so tempted.
