More Mondo Posters

Dracula

Over a year ago, I posted some movie posters from Mondo Tees. They get a lot of requests for special release posters and the results are fantastic. Their illustrations are wonderfully textural, detailed, and elegant and the typography can get pretty interesting as well. For instance, I love the shapes of the letters in the above Dracula poster. Below is more of their recent work since last year's post. 

Melancholia

The Avengers (Black Widow)

The Dark Knight Rises

ParaNorman

Looper

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (Treebeard)

Eric Seitz's ABCinema

Here's more ABCs animation work from Eric Seitz. This series's theme is movies and each one arranges the films using different categories: alphabetical order, references to color, geographical references, and numerals. All the animations and transitions are expertly done, and, like the Alphagames video, a lot of fun. Can you figure out all the films included (Cheat sheet after the jump)?

More from Studio On Fire

Last month I posted about a promotional piece by Studio On Fire, a design and letterpress studio in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Their work is phenomenal and often has a nice layering effect thanks to their 18 Heidelberg letterpresses. There is also a fantastic tactile quality to their works in their choices of paper and card stock and the interactive nature of designs such as the ones I've posted here.

Dana Tanamachi

Dana Tanamachi is a chalk lettering artist based in the Brooklyn, NY area. She has done work for Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren, Google, and O Magazine among others. Her fantastic pieces feature a great combination of elegant typography and granular texture. There is something nice about the letter forms' delicacy being emphasized by the ephemeral nature of chalk.

Tanamachi's precise detailing and use of lines for accentuation and playfulness make these pieces well worth a look.

StoryCorps

StoryCorps is a fantastic organization that aims to give every American the chance to record their personal stories. So far, their archive includes over 40,000 interviews and can be heard on NPR's Morning Edition, as well as their website.

I've enjoyed their work for a while, but just thought to post about them now because they have just released one of their animated stories on Youtube. These animated visualizations of these people's stories add a lot of depth and are extremely moving to watch. Here is their most recent video as well as a couple of my favorites. If you get the chance, though, all of the videos on their Youtube are heartwarming and absolutely worth watching.

StoryCorps encourages people to take part in the National Day of Listening on November 23rd by either recording a story of your own or listening to some they have already.

Alphagames: Video Game Typography

Here's a very cool video by Eric Seitz of video game ABCs (aka Alphagames). Above is B for my favorite game, Bioshock. It's a lot of fun figuring out how many you can recognize while also seeing all the different ways the letterforms are created.

Photo Booth That Makes a Mini 3D You

Above are a couple results courtesy of Tokyo's Omote 3D, a "photo booth" that creates 3D printed figurines instead of a strip of film. Users step into a small studio where they are required to stand still for 15 minutes while they are scanned. While I imagine those 15 minutes get pretty uncomfortable, the final product looks to be worth it... of course, it will still cost you more than just a few moments of your time. 10cm figurines go for $265 and 20cm figurines go for $530. Definitely a cool gift or conversation starter. Just make sure to remember where you put your little you.
