FREE WILL

 

Shepherd Fairey dig aside, I’m not sure this image makes much sense, but with the current dearth of memorable OWS images, here’s one that sticks in the mind, at least..

FILM ROMANCE

 

 

An invitation to a photography event held by the Australian Commercial and Media Photographers.

MAKING LIGHT

A line drawing of the U.S. flag makes for a delicately sublime print from Print-Process.

IN THE GAME

 

One, in a series of 2012 Olympic stamps commissioned by England’s Royal Mail, and designed by Studio David Hillman.

CONNECTING

 

 

An ingenious 2008 Sony Walkman print ad campaign from Saatchi & Saatchi Sydney, featuring the subway maps of New York, London, and Sydney.

BAR ASSOCIATION

 

 

For their Branding issue in March 2010, Grafik magazine chose a two-color bar code illustration to striking effect.

HEARTACHE

I love Pentagram’s simple, even poignant, visual identity for Heart Center, a clinic for cardiological disorders.

EXCLAMATORY

 

 

This illustration by Ben Wiseman accompanies an editorial addressing the issue of disproportionate, misplaced public outrage. It could just as easily be a perfect allusion to our disproportionately misplaced propensity for wielding the exclamation mark!

SEWING CLASS

 

The original logo for the Council of  Fashion Designers of America (a mark which, inexplicably, was forsaken for something forgettable), is featured in the recently-released book of logos, Symbols.

DISPLAY TACTIC

A perfect inducement to put pencil (or pen, or marker) to paper would be this exquisitely balanced, meticulously executed illustration by Alice May Du.
