The American Poster
August 29th, 2010Not only does the movie seem like it’s going to be great, but the poster is really well done in my opinion. Designed by Mojo House, the design is reminiscent of the minimal style seen during the 60s, but with a modern touch. The paper is even distressed to give it an authentic feel.
Here’s a good write up on the poster, with some nice examples of original posters from the 60s.

Swiss Dots, the producers of the Helvetica documentary, have create this new limited-edition screenprint for the film. The print is inspired by a 1960’s design that has been seen on D. Stempel AG brochures, type specimens and posters — which has been making an appearance on the TV show, Mad Men.
The poster is hand screenprinted on archival 300gsm paper, A2 size (16 1/2″ x 23 1/2″) in a numbered edition of 100 copies, each signed by director Gary Hustwit. You can order one here for $150.

Graphical House
July 8th, 2010This poster by Glasgow studio Graphical House was created to promote Scottish artist Martin Boyce’s installment entitled “No Reflections”, at La Biennale di Venezia in 2009.
The poster is printed on 308gsm Hahnemuhle Photorag paper with Ultra Chrome K3 digital inks. It’s limited to only 20 prints, and you can grab one at Graphical House’s shop.
Also check out the complete identity they did for the project. I love the logotype and the use of Baskerville.

The International Office is Back
June 25th, 2010Well, not sure they went anywhere. Their site seemed to be down for a few months and I thought they closed up shop. Glad to see they’re still rockin’ it. They have a new site up with a bunch of great new work.
Be sure to head over to September Industry for some high-res images of their work.

Coast Modern Poster by Build
June 3rd, 2010I think it’s pretty clear that I’m a huge fan of Build’s work. Michael always produces top-notch work in an aesthetic that gets me to drool every time. So you can imagine my delight when I first saw this stunner.
It’s a limited edition poster for the documentary film, Coast Modern. Sized at 33 1/8″ x 23 7/16″ and printed on 100lb Topkote stock in Pantone 806, which is an eye-popping fluorescent color. The poster will be available soon from the Coast Modern site and only 100 prints will be made. Gotta grab one of these!

May 27th, 2010I really loved this poster for it’s International Typographic Style look, but then I quicklyrealized that it’s very similar to another poster that I love. Hmmm.
Anyway, design studio Jung + Wenig has a solid portfolio worth checking out.
