Ingenius ‘Back to the Future’ Trilogy Posters

Three things I love about these posters: They can be displayed separately or together. Each one has as its background pivotal locations from each movie. The minimalistic yet still completely recognizable figures of Marty McFly at the bottom of each poster. These screen-printed posters were printed on a limited edition run of 420 (haha) and […]

The “Memento” Timeline, Visualized

Friday Brain Dump (Basketball Edition)

Notice that the tweet is “live,” meaning that all the links (such as the “Follow” button) clickable and functional. So they’re watching Knicks in Taipei but I can’t get the game.#iliveheredammit — Jerry Seinfeld (@JerrySeinfeld) February 16, 2012 […]

Movie Poster Clichés

I do not pay too much attention to movie posters, so it comes as no surprise that I have never noticed these clichés before. I guess that the movie advertising business is similar to other design-related fields in that they know what works, and/or are fresh out of original ideas. Between the legs: Black and […]

Panem’s 13 Districts Visualized [More “Hunger Games” Pr0n]

A fanatical Hunger Games fan by the name of V. Arrow has thoughtfully and carefully put together a map of Panem’s 13 districts, taking into account all historical accounts from the books, and merging what has been revealed about each district with the typography and natural resources of North America.
