I said what?

Have you said the most ridiculous things to your kids? Here are some hilarious posters by the superbly talented Nathan Ripperger. Enjoy:

I saw these on Design Mom and I immediately made plans to make some for myself. One of mine will say "Please don't draw on the fridge with cheese!"

book posters

Take a look at these divine, minimalist, posters based on children's stories. I think they are so beautiful and just the tiniest bit creepy. In a good way.

I saw these on Ohdeedoh. They are designed by Christian Jackson and you can buy them at imagekind.

Awesome!

type poster

Check out this awesome poster from Typography Deconstructed. It's not only gorgeous, it's informative.

You should get one and learn all about typography. Or even better, buy one for a graphic designer that you know.

information is beautiful

These posters from Always With Honor just blow me away. Excellent information design is hard to come by and these guys are amazing. Can you imagine if the IRS hired them to help make tax forms easier to read/understand?

poster design

I've been working on a lot of trade show graphics recently - large-scale banners and stands. Design at that scale is quite different from the kinds of things I normally work on - small hand-held reports and brochures. It got me thinking about poster design. I've never had a client ask me to design a poster (the trade show graphics are as close as I get). In art school posters were not exactly my strong point but I knocked one out of the park in an early typography class. We had to design a type-only poster about a type designer.

Eric Gill, this one's for you: (see a full-size .pdf here)


I worked on this for a class in the fall of 2003. Not much of what I did then stands up now but I still adore this poster. If I could change one thing I would take out the hyphen. Not bad for some of my earliest design work!
