This splendid poster was designed and printed by Revenge Is Sweet, a Franco-Australian duo who live and work in London.

I stumbled across it while perusing the site of London screen printing facility Print Club, a print shop that I would very much like to get my hands dirty at.

The 'Kill Me Softly' series numbers three in total, and I've chosen number three as my favourite, but have a look at one and two and make up your own mind.

All three posters are available to buy from the Print Club shop. There is also some other magnificent work on the Revenge Is Sweet site, none more so than the 'Love & Hate' poster.

Photoshop Gets Real



This is fantastic, a real life version of Photoshop.

The advertisement was put together by Bates 141. See how they made it here.



I'm a sucker for post-apocalyptic films. I realise they are a bit shit, but every time I see a trailer for the latest end of the world epic I know there is no point in resisting, even though the feeling of disappointment that I felt after watching the last effort from the genre will undoubtedly not have worn off.

Anyhow, Denis Oliver's 'Dreamspace Reloaded #39' puts me in mind of The Day After Tomorrow, post New York being hit by the huge tsunami. The lack of colour lends an immediacy to the image, as though the only way of documenting the demise of NYC was to reproduce and distribute the information using a Xerox machine.

The Art Of Obama



The race for the White House comes to its conclusion tomorrow with polling stations opening across America. If Barack Obama doesn't make it in as the forty-fourth president it wont be through any lack of effort on the graphic design front.

Above is Ron English's amazing 'Abraham Obama' portrait. And below we have Shepard Fairey's 'Hope' poster. This was available from the official Obama store and has reached an almost iconic status, which has seen the design reinterperated dozens of times.



Another couple of Fairey's efforts.



The poster below was designed by Scott Hansen, the man behind ISO50 and this, like Fairey's 'Hope' poster, was also created as an official part of the Obama campaign. Follow Scott's process of producing the print here.



'Fields Of Hope' and 'Obeyma' both by Felix Sockwell, which can be found at designforobama.org along with an abundance of other designs promoting the Democrat candidate.

And if that isn't enough for you, you can even support him while eating your breakfast!



I like this water colour a lot! See more of Chris Appelhans work at his site and buy a print of Bad Unicorn here.
