What designers really do....



Oh, this is what we're suppose to be doing!

I am a HUGE Simpsons fan and this alphabet is the perfect design to me. The characters morph into the letter they are associated with and they bend and curve perfectly. If I ever had an alphabet in my house, this would be it. Can you name them all?

Pieces and pieces

I have been trying to post my artwork and design pieces but I'm always told the file is too large. As soon as I figure out what to do I will start to post my designs, past and present. I will accept constructive criticism and anything awesomely said :) I paint (oils) and I will post those pieces as well!

Memes as movie posters

Some designers have re-imagined popular memes as movie posters.
Here is one based on the diet coke and mentos craze from 2006. Each poster has the 'title' (whatever the meme is about) and the opening day (the time when the meme became popular). They are all pretty interesting. The transition from internet meme to movie poster is done cleanly. The posters are rather minimal in design but the image(s) and type say everything that need to be said. The slight vintage effect is pretty cool too.
