Famous Movie Cars Get The Minimal Poster Treatment From Designer Jesús Prudencio.

above: Can you guess which movies the above vehicles came from? The answer to each is shown in this post

Thanks to Fubiz, I have been introduced to Jesús Prudencio, a graphic artist, web designer and illustrator from Badajoz, currently living in Seville, Spain. A fan of both films and cars, he took it upon himself to create these minimalist posters representing movies by the iconic vehicles within them.

Little white lies turned into sixteen different minimalist graphic art posters by Justin Barber.

"This humorous poster series takes some of the most common, everyday lies we tell ourselves and hear from others, and bluntly translates them into the unequivocal truth. By visually representing the difference in what we often say but secretly mean, Truth and Lies uncovers the inane conversational nuances that reveal paradoxical dichotomies in our otherwise ordinary life. In other words, this is what you say, but (this is what you mean) - and we all know it." - Justin Barber

About the artist:
Justin Barber was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan - but is currently located in Savannah, Georgia. Justin Barber is a freelance graphic designer who specializes in branding and identity. His work has been recognized by Apple, Behance and International Designers Network, among others.

Classic Chairs As Alphabet. Tim Fishlock's Limited Edition Typeseat Screen Print and Chair Alphabet Prints From Blue Ant Studio.

I love chairs. And typography, So both Tim Fishlock's and Blue Ant Studio's beautiful prints are right up my alley/in my wheelhouse/my cup of tea... you get the picture.

Typeseat by Tim Fishlock
First, Fishlock's Typeseat is a limited edition screenprint featuring classic chairs as the letters of the alphabet.

Here Tim explains some background to the edition:
“A lot of my work explores symbols and the idea of pictorial shorthand. I’m fascinated by the alphabet, how most of the letters began as pictures, icons from another era. Social and cultural change and aesthetic trends have been reflected in the Roman alphabet as it’s been refined over the centuries. Few objects reflect this cultural change as distinctly as the chair. An Eames lounger or a Panton chair are effective shorthand for the aesthetic trends of the day.

Typeseat is my attempt at creating a pictorial alphabet made up of some of the most iconic chairs of the twentieth century.”

Exhibition Posters and TV Spot For Star Wars Identities Exhibit by Bleublancrouge.

For thirty-five years, audiences around the world have followed the adventures of Luke and Anakin Skywalker, the Jedi heroes of a galaxy far, far away. And now, a new exciting exhibition comes to our own galaxy with Star Wars Identities, a redefined modern exhibition experience in which we will rediscover the unforgettable characters of Star Wars in a whole new way.

Canadian agency Bleublancrouge has done a very nice job with promoting the exhibit. Their six illustrated exhibition posters, video teaser and now, a new tv spot are all nicely done (and all shown in this post).

First, the latest promotional tv spot for the exhibit, directed by Simon Olivier Fecteau:

Canadian ad agency Bleublancrouge also created the inkblot Vader image and video teaser for the exhibit:

The exhibit’s marquee image – the inkblot Darth Vader – quickly captivated the StarWars.com readers when it was first revealed last November (shown above), accompanied by this teaser spot for the exhibit:

Bleublancrouge is also one of three companies that make up X3 Productions (the exhibit’s licensee), has created several new character portraits for the campaign, which are showcased below.

The illustrations were inspired by the individuality of each character, by what makes them who they are; Yoda, Darth Vader, Amidala, C-3PO, Boba Fett and a Stormtrooper:

This new innovative exhibition with interactive displays, original costumes, props and concept art, was made possible by Lucasfilm Ltd. and produced by Montreal's X3 Productions. It makes use of an extensive collection from the Lucasfilm Archives to explore the sciences of identity through the characters of Star Wars.
