I stumbled across the above tasty retro posters created by Simon Page. Apparently what started as a personal (play) project got noticed and ultimately picked up for use by the IYA2009.

Good stuff.

A nice project continuing Leo Burnett’s House of Cards campaign for Shelter.

A pack of unique cards, each card a piece of art by the likes of Alexander McQueen, Neville Brody, Kyle Cooper, and fellow Goldsmith’s Alumni Gillian Wearing. Also shown top is a very nice brochure for the exhibit designed by Dominic Lippa of Pentagram.

Click here to see the not too shabby (either) campaign site, and maybe purchase a pack of said limited edition cards.

If you have never had the pleasure of seeing the previous Radiohead tv ad earlier in the campaign, click here.

Lovely packaging courtesy of the ever excellent Swede’s BVD. The campaign site created by demodern, is worth a look too.

Michigan-based filmmaker Charlie McCarthy shot 156 photographs of insects flying around a street light, each at a four second exposure.

Nice.

Just had the pleasure of coming across these French designers, directors. A very impressive body of work, including a rather good video for Groove Armada, which I apologise if you have seen already. Here.

This project apparently took “six months from start to finish… about four of them full-time”.

Nice.

Just came across this site for Swiss Designers Norm. Not sure what to think, the multi windows is maybe a tad too much / annoying, but above anything else, and why I am posting it here, is that it is certainly quite original, and got my attention. Really, really nice work within also…

Really, really nice clean and elegant work from Marko Puclin and his Studio MoaMoa. Think the website and its simplicity in using nice big pictures is tops too.

Stumbled across this talented bunch all the way from Santa Fe, thanks to the Luigi Bormioli site, which they of course designed. A really nice site, with some damn fine work.
