stile industria
arguably one of the most important (if perhaps less recognised) nations when it comes to the ‘modernism’ movement in graphic design during the 20th century is italy, better known examples are probably, the work of ‘max huber’ for such clients as ‘pirelli’ and ‘borsalino’ amongst others
another less well-known example is the short-lived late 50s/early 60s design magazine ‘stile industria’ whose covers bear an unmistakeably modernist, eclectic style from such names as ‘max huber’, ‘bruno munari’, (dutchman) ‘bob noorda’ and ‘enzo mari’… see this great collection of the resulting covers…
translated from an original post i wrote for ‘fontanel’ this week…
make your own adventure
a really smart, animated (unofficial) title-sequence for the ‘adventures of titntin’ movie, and proof that you can create your own adventures
although it was made for ‘fun’ this particular trailer was recently shown to none other than steven spielberg, who promptly hired the maker for his next film… congratulations you deserve it… (via fontanel)
sync
some more wonderful, retina-zapping graphics from mister ‘max hattler’, not recommended for those prone to epilepsy…
crayonettes
if you have ever attempted to make drawings in a ‘naive’ style, you will probably know just how difficult it actually is to do it well, like for example french illustrator damien florébert cuypers does, i particularly like his ‘crayonettes’ and the portraits of art world celebrities such as ‘tracy emin’ and ‘jeff koons’
