Kick that holiday cheer with the undead.

I love zom­bie movies, or in some cases I take it that true hor­ror buffs wouldn’t con­sider some of them zom­bie films, but more of an epi­demic or ill­ness rather than being (un)dead. Nonethe­less, the films have just the right …

Happy 50th, Museum of Modern Art Oxford

In honor of their upcom­ing 50th anniver­sary, the Mod­ern Art Oxford is dis­play­ing 50 exhi­bi­tion posters from their archive to the pub­lic. Stuff like this makes me really appre­ci­ate the sim­plis­tic design sen­si­bil­i­ties of so many design­ers from the UK. Check …

IBM Smarter Planet

IBM Smarter Planet

Being a huge fan of Herb Lubalin and pretty much every­thing that came out of that man’s brain, I love these posters that intel­li­gently incor­po­rate his ITC Lubalin Graph type­face. To me, this type­face speaks to all things techy with …

New Print from Scott Hansen

New Print from Scott Hansen

Scott Hansen, aka ISO50, just released a new print for pur­chase. As usual, it is quite gor­geous. The style is sim­i­lar to a lot of his recent work with very min­i­mal yet strik­ing graphic work with super sub­dued typog­ra­phy. The …
