Wallpaper

I was looking at wallpapers as there is some fantastic illustrations, and I came across this one that I really like...

A Beautifully Creative Marriage Proposal...

All it takes is four words and a ring to seal the deal, but it's really amazing (and quite beautiful!) to see the amount of thought and careful planning that some guys go through to make the moment all that more special. I never get tired of hearing romantic proposal stories, especially when they're as creative as this one...

Guy proposed to his now fiancée on her birthday in Bali. He illustrated a series of individual images that when folded together in a bridge formed the hidden message, "Will you marry me?". I can only imagine the precise calculation that went into perfecting that and making sure all the words aligned into a legible sentence.

Typography

I found this typography really interesting I like the combination on text and imagery. It comes from the creative agency Ars Thanea. 

Film Posters

Personally I think film posters are one of the best ways graphic designers skills are truly shown, there are hundreds of fantastic posters displaying a huge range of different graphic techniques. Here are a few that caught my eye...

I love how lighting has been used in the photograph to accentuate only the outline of the face, it gives the poster a real sinister feel.

The use of the Polaroid's to create the skull creates such a powerful image, I think this poster is outstanding.

Both of these posters create an eery feel by having the subject emerging into the foreground. Then the typography on top creates 2 fantastic posters, that clear, easy to read. 

Surreal Photographs

I can across this designer Eugene Soloview. I love how with his photographs he manipulates them to give them a surreal feel. He's a 20 year old from Russia and is completely self thought. Hopefully I will get chance to use my new camera soon and Soloview's work is definitely fantastic inspiration.

Wondering around Manchetser

I saw this building when I was wondering Manchester I loved how the stick men added something interesting to a building for office space!
