typo/graphic posters

interesting collection of posters, it does what it says on the box: they are typo and graphic… the samples shown are from, paula scher, peter saville, alex trochut and alvin chan, although for the rest they are largely all by unknown names, which makes it more interesting as a collection if you ask me…

pentawards 2009

here are some interesting package designs… all winners from the 2009 pentawards competition

surprising that the overall winner is the ‘kleenex’ stuff, i think it’s probably the least interesting of all of the entrants and… it also looks very, very similar to some japanese fruit drink packaging i saw a while ago (the name escapes me just now… i’ll see if i can find it somewhere)

nice technique used in this video… shame about the god-awful squealing racket of a song…

the magnum archives

"…Penguin has often used Magnum photographs on their covers, ensuring that the same audience gets to see great images from the archive. Magnum is proud to continue this tradition with this latest set of books, where Penguin’s choice of images range from the quirky to the classic; these are photographs that truly represents the history and great diversity of Magnum Photos."

lovely set of book covers featuring images from magnum, and they’re all really good books too… especially the mailer and hunter thompson ones…

superieure d’arse

my dad lives in burgundy france, so he gets to see a lot of good wine, this bottle however will probably remain closed, not the best of names if you intend to import your wine to the english speaking world…
