Jason Munn Concert Posters

[notnotmichaelpaul]

Jason Munn is one of my personal favorite designers. The style that he has brought to the music scene is pretty amazing. Even something so simple can't be copied.

This would be really awesome to see as wrapping paper. I feel like I want to try and create a pattern like this soon. Maybe not sea creatures, but maybe vinyl record covers I like? Oh man, that would make bank on etsy.

Look at that oh so wonderful use of pink. Pink is such a wonderful design color. It's so difficult to pull off, but when it works, it's a magical things.

60 Logos in 60 days | Karoline Tynes

[notnotmichaelpaul]

This challenge seems like a really cool idea. Some of these logos are even better than ones that some designers have spent weeks developing. Some great talent here. Crazy how unpredictable inspiration can be.

Grete Stern’s Interpretation of Dreams - The New Yorker

The photographer Grete Stern interpreted the dreams of women’s-magazine readers with startling invention and not a little feminist verve.

Now on view: From Bauhaus to Buenos Aires: Grete Stern and Horacio Coppola is the first major exhibition to focus on these two leading figures of avant-garde photography.

These are fantastic.

Oh my goodness, look at that use of black and orange. It’s like neon, but it’s not. I’m always a big fan of small zine like books or prints that highlight typefaces. 

I’m assuming they are called Specimen books? Regardless, it always goes back to what i’ve been told, “There’s a time and place for every font”. Maybe not all fonts are beautiful, but with the right love and appropriate use, they could be made beautiful. 

Except maybe, Bleeding Cowboy?
