Screw You

Loving this response to the previously posted item. Although I agree with the pledge message of the first image, this one certainly adds another healthy dollop of wit and really outlines that fact that graphic design is all about breaking the rules. Think David Carson's Ray Gun Magazine Although, you have to learn the rules first before you can break them.

Great book for that purpose is Ten Commandments of Typography
by Paul Felton. Ch-ch-check it out.

Hobo Type

A great designer and friend of mine, Jeff Matz of Lure Design Inc. created this witty typographic poster which outlines what everyone should know about Comic Sans and Papyrus. Don't use them! They are awful, or as Jeff says, "hobo". They are often prolific in use among wannabe designers and desktop publishers who have never studied so much as one page of a typography book and who think 'sans serif' is that girl in the new Frank Miller film.

Lesson learned.

* I need to make an ammendment here...apparently Hobo is also a god awful typeface which I was until now not aware of. I have just looked it up and am quite thankful for this fact! Urgh!

Fabriclive Posters

I love these illustrations by Garry Milne for Fabric live (art direction by Village Green). The final posters were used for promotions between August & November 2008 for the Fabric live club nights in London.



Milne's collage style employs illustrations of fragments of the natural world which combine to create a larger more sinister image of an animal. His muted palettes are splashed with vibrant and deep colours which are striking and dramatic.
