Some examples are below:

Minimalist Film Posters
A quick plug for my friend Jamie Bolton who’s made a great series of ultra cut-down film posters that seem to be almost going viral at the moment (consultation commission fee please!).
Prints available from www.shoottheglass.bigcartel.com.

Kululua Air Livery
On a kind of an infographics theme, I saw this today which made me laugh. I think it could be classed as infographics as it does try to explain parts of the plane to an outsider, and its humourous to boot. Unfortunately they’ve only painted one plane this way, which they’ve named “Flying 101″.
Found from here.

BBC Appreciation Station pt.2
There has been a documentary on BBC4 over the last month called Berlin and it is about the history of the city and its dual identities. It’s surprisingly fascinating viewing and helped along by the usual BBC high production standards and a beautiful soundtrack scored specifically for the series. The show is part of the Open University and at the end of each episode prompts you to apply for a copy of the written accompanying guide. I wasn’t too bothered but curiously made me go back in my browser and click the link and it just gave me a simple page to put my name and address. I didn’t have to create an account or verify anything, and less than a week later I got my free guide through the post.

BBC Appreciation Station
I love the BBC – in fact I’d go as far as saying it’s one of the increasingly fewer things we can be proud about in this country. I have no problem at all paying the license fee for the extreme wealth of content they provide. The iPlayer service is brilliant in it’s simplicity. No extra charges, you can stream straight off the page, you don’t have to sign up or download a DRM laden player. It seems to be extremely popular too, based on the statistics they’ve released.

Piano Stairs
This is a video of a really nice idea. However I could imagine the novelty for some people wearing off, and anyone who worked within earshot gradually going insane.

Confessional
I’m feeling compelled to update this blog everyday now. Today I was waiting in Specsavers to get my glasses readjusted as theyre wearing holes in my nose and I came across Specsavers Magazine. Now every page and I mean EVERY page has one or multiple pictures of glasses on. I dunno why this would surprise me but flicking through it, I just felt visually assaulted by the tremendous quantity of fashionable eye-wear directed at my attention. Then I saw this one picture of some metal type that just screamed out to me.

SUMP
SUMP aka Zi Huai Shen is someone I found via the Flickr Infographics Pool and has produced some amazing, jealous rage-inspiring, book designs. Beautiful typography combined with what seems to be his trademark black and yellow inks seems to be a style he’s made his own.
