five a day

Daily recommended intake of design goodness.

My dump bin for storing design work, inspiration and ideas. And possibly some other shit too...
‘8-Bit Movie Series’ by US graphic designer Eric Palmer.  I’m a bit obsessed with looking at poster designs at the moment due to a project I’m working on. There’s a lot of reinterpretations of movie posters out there but these stood out to me. The retro video game look works well as a poster, it’s immediately understandable and creates a nostalgia for the viewer. The Oompa Loompas from Charlie and the Chocolate factory particularly look like realistic video game characters that would torment you like crazy. Here’s a few others from the series I like: [via Design Taxi]

Chip Kidd: Designing books is no laughing matter. Ok, it is.

This guy knows how to keep an audience interested and entertained. 

Leo Burnett’s unique representation of their classic logo constructed from 6325 recycled computer keys. The 9ft x 3ft artwork is located at their New York offices and is there to greet visitors and clients. I think it’s stunning and I’m sure to see something of that stature as you walk into their offices would be mind blowing. The individual pieces are there to symbolize the agency’s philosophy of combining ideas and craft, with the evolution of technology. And a nice little touch is the addition of hidden messages within the keys that tell the story of the Leo Burnett brand. Nice. [via Ads of the World]

Don't 'Read' All About It

London based graphic designer Stephen McCarthy reimagines what tabloids would like in purely pictographic form. An interesting concept with a comical approach, I particularly like the picto page 3 model.

Worth checking out his portfolio site there’s some great work to be seen.
