Gravity alternative fan-made posters.
I saw Gravity over the weekend and found it equally visually stunning and frightening. No space travel for me!
I saw a bunch of fan-made posters bumping around the internet this week and really like these three in particular.

There’s so much beauty to look at in this complex poster (kind of like the film itself!) The illustration style is a surreal mix of realism with graphic undertones. The clever division of space and image not only creates an interesting and arresting image, but also speaks to the general plot arc of the film (without 100% spoiling anything…kind of…) The minimalist/distressed typography is great, too.

Another instance of great illustration and powerful visual imagery to convey the film’s chaotic and disorienting subject matter. I love the way the typography recedes into the poster.

Super simple, clever, and powerful. The little touch of the arm at the top is perfect.

Inspiration: Vintage French Typography
I’m working on a friend’s Save the Date (and eventually wedding invitations) and have been researching vintage French typography, labels, flourishes, and style in general.
A friend of mine at work sent me this link today, and I decided to have some fun.
Can’t get much better than fried eggs, typography, and some unlikely inspiration.
My two loves: food & typography.
I was feeling like I’ve been in a design rut for a while, so I challenged myself to do a quick, five-minute type exercise.
Enjoy!

Google Doodle, May 8, 2013 - Saul Bass
I’m a huge Saul Bass fan. My interest in his ground-breaking movie title design piqued during college, when I was taking a Graphic Design history course, focusing on the 20th century.
I ended up writing a research paper on Bass’ work with noted directors like Hitchcock and Preminger and how Bass’’ unique style and vision revolutionized the film and design world.
I love and admire his bold use of line, shape, and concept in a design field that before him, was almost non-existent.
Happy Birthday, Saul.

So I’m finally getting around to looking through / editing some of my 3,000 photos from when I studied abroad in London in 2010 (better late than never, right?) Here are a few of my favorites from time spent travelling to other cities on the weekends.
