I wrote about Neue a long while back on the previous version of my blog but they have since put a lot more work on their site and it is all just absolutely brilliant.

Thank you for the reminder, Formfiftyfive.

Faces of Evil

Comments Off on Faces of EvilArt

facesofevil.jpg

“Using digital technology, graphic designer Hans Weishäupl has carefully reconstructed portraits of 13 dictators over the past 100 years. However, the photo montages, which measure 1.8 m x 2.3 m do not contain a single piece of original picture material, but are made of countless tiny, specially shot portraits of the citizens of the country the dictator ruled over. Christian Lechelt and Hans Weishäupl photographed over 350 people between November 2007 and March 2008, in Hamburg, Munich, Vienna, Dresden, Frankfurt, Berlin, Amsterdam, Moscow, Belgrade, London, Barcelona, Paris and Milan.

The portrait of Hitler is made up of 37 people. His nose belongs to an estate agent from Berlin, his upper lip is from a locksmiths in Dresden, and so on. Each wrinkle, each mole, each eyebrow was reconstructed to resemble the original.”

Wow.

Eightysix Era

Comments Off on Eightysix EraTypography

“I was born in 1986 in a small town called Zelenograd (‘green-town‘) somewhere near Moscow, USSR. During my childhood I was taught the drawing basics by my father — that’s how it all started. I can clearly remember myself drawing on almost all surfaces later in school and then, spending free time at the university between the lectures, I started drawing letters.”

“Hello! I’m Eric Carl, a web/graphic designer and illustrator residing in Los Angeles. I currently work at the Gnomon School of Visual Effects as a web designer and instructor. I have a passion for art and design, its the truth. I have a certain affection for vintage illustration and advertising, particularly from the ’60s and ’70s when things got weird.”

I feel exactly the same way about the whole 60s and 70s thing.

Ctt for the Hot Iqs

Comments Off on Ctt for the Hot IqsCtt News

ctt_hotiqs_posters.jpg

I was recently asked by the lead singer of the local Denver band (and a really good band in my humble opinion) to design a two screen poster to announce the release of their latest 7 inch EP. I hadn’t designed a rock poster in a long long time so I jumped at the chance. Although it wasn’t really needed and the budget in no way called for it, I really went to town and kind of went nuts working up different ideas. I rarely get to sink my teeth into something music related so I felt like I had to get as much out of my system as possible. You can see all 7 versions of the poster now in the print section of the site. The band likes the giraffe mandala poster so that is the one which will most likely be printed. I’ll let you know when and where they will be playing if you would like to pick one up.

For more information about the Hot Iqs, you can visit their website.

Ctt for Poolga

Comments Off on Ctt for PoolgaTechnology

I had almost forgotten entirely that I sent a couple images to Poolga a long long time ago for their ongoing free iPhone wallpaper project until I saw the above image posted on someone’s blog. If you haven’t yet visited Poolga, please do because aside from being just a really cool project offering up a nice bag of freebies, it is also a great source of inspiration for design, art and illustration as it now features a pretty impressive list of some really great artists, illustrators and designers.
