Just bumped into a nice poster which Jakub posted on the ISO50 blog in their ‘Images from where and who?’ series. It belongs to Horacio Lorente who has been designing several prints for the Ushuaia Shh festivals (a festival about mountains & art – how can this not give for amazing artwork!) the past years. The first poster you see here is the 2009 edition, followed by the one for 2008. But the endless amount of drafts he’s produced are also worth showing here. Also, have a look at his site to see the making of the 2009 poster and some more shots and other deisgns. Must say we recognize quite some of the elements and styles such as the dotted circles, paper linear burn, rays and borders. But hey, I’ll be the last one saying he’s mimicking ISO50 (see here to know why).
Very clever use of ‘pixelation’ by Mark Brooks which reminds me of some Soulwax posters I saw a few years back (for those who don’t see it – look at these images from a few feet distance). I’ve always wanted to have a look at the old printing process of newspapers when photos were still very pixelated black & white renderings (halftones), made up of hundreds of little dots still visible to the naked eye (as you can nowadays only find in smaller and low-budget papers such as my old university’s monthly). Love the catch phrase ‘distance yourself from the stars’ btw.
Some great drawing skills by Marius Bauer (via Graphic Exchange) reminding me of Si Scott‘s work although I must say this is no simple style copying. The clever outlines combined with simple gradients works very well. It’s definitely worth browsing through more of his work even though his prints seem rather amateur with the unbalanced white borders. Can’t wait to see more of his work.
PS: Also have a look at his iDesk – a cool idea for Maconites.
