What better way to kick of the week than with some fun food truck graphics? Great colors, fun type, entertaining messages, and useful (I hope) QR codes all add up to a great reason to skip the restaurant and hit the streets.

These are beautifully textural images from the title sequence of the latest Sherlock Holmes film. I've yet to see the film, but the first one was certainly a visual treat, so I expect nothing less of the sequel.
Click the link to Graphic-Exchange above for many more images and an interview with the designer, Prologue.
Gorgeous work by gifted designers!

The 2012 Sundance Film Festival features graphics designed by Pentagram. As with most events of this type, the design standards were used for everything from print materials to environmental graphics to merchandise.
I appreciate the way in which the 'motif' (for lack of a better word) was effectively used in the film catalog - incorporating the fragmented aesthetic into limited areas of the book. And, I think the overall concept made for some interesting design opportunities throughout the different media.

I recently (and finally) watched the film Waiting for Superman - a film about the educational system in the United States and the woefully inadequate way it serves too many of our children.
The film was eye-opening to say the least.
With the impact of the movie still fresh in my mind, I was pleased to come across this post in my RSS feed. Once again, the power of design has revealed itself to me.
The well-presented concept of teachers "connecting the dots" for students, inspiring their dreams, and nurturing their potential - along with a happy orange-y yellow color scheme - gave me back a bit of the hope that was drained by my movie selection.
Just as there are designers who care deeply about their craft and strive to express authentic meaning in their work, there are certainly educators who approach their profession in the same way. Perhaps, these are the same teachers who would appreciate this design effort and use the bright imagery to remind them of the amazing legacy they leave with each student who passes through their classrooms.

I have never seen anything quite like these colorful dimensional graphics, created by Moscow's Sicksystems.
The pieces of each composition is carved with a scroll saw, then hand-painted. The result is reminiscent of a cross between totem pole art and something that could be found in a Transformers movie.
The image of the sneaker piece above was one that I found particularly creative. But, click the link to Core 77 for lots of other examples. Great stuff.

The execution of black business cards can be a challenge - how to create interest without the use of multiple colors? In this case, stark white foil printing with a strong embossed emblem.

Designed to reference penalty cards from the world's favorite game (soccer/football), these cards were printed with tonal inks that provide subtle - and beautiful - contrast to the papers selected.
It's often challenging to create a card that stands out from the usual fare, but these do a nice job of doing just that.
