great spatial/typographic ‘ambigram’ from markus raetz

based on a ‘life magazine’ cover image from 1938 portraying a chinese soldier (by robert capa): mister joe black has created this incredible tactile illustration with spray-painted plastic (chinese made) toy soldiers… impressive stuff


visited yesterday with the family: the revamped and revitalised stedelijk museum
finally back (on the original site) after 10 years absence; it’s been too long… but it looks amazing and if you ask me now that the new (& much criticised) identity by mevis en van deursen has been implemented and started to come to life around the museum i think that it actually works really well (i had decided to not join the flood of negative comment on the logo until seeing the whole story)

simple but effective poster (i have no idea who made it)
