Ambient, isn’t it lovely? Especially when it’s really simple and a bit satirical. In Berlin, some artists decided to deface posters and thus uncover the real truth behind their production. Photoshopped posters anyone ? Rather nice!

I caught this online after it had been broadcast (I’m not going to admit to watching BB) but it put a smile on my face and I’ve been to Liverpool Street enough times that it’s familiar to me. Here’s some more information from Brand Republic.
Nicholas Felton has released his latest annual masterpiece that documents his life over the last year. The poster versions have sold out already, but there are still some folded versions left if you hurry. $10 including shipping to the UK.
I couldn’t exist on this blog if I didn’t have at least one car related post. The Mini is 50 this year and I thought I’d tell everyone, who hasn’t already read ‘The Times’.
This is ‘Winnie’ by the way.
Mmm cars and women, especially when the car is a BMW. So I was in a showroom the other day waiting for a tyre quote.
The BMW art car book was out, which can I say is very well griddled and uber modernist with Sans serif faces everywhere.
I was flicking through and it came to the posters section, and this appeared…
Its a poster to promote BMW’s second hand market that the showrooms run. The caption is awesome.
If you can’t see it, it says, “You know you’re not the first”, and a picture of a beautiful (subject to opinion) girl.
I like it, and the book it was in.
Muiz Anwar is someone I found whilst looking for examples of arabic typography on flickr (for a possible idea for my final project). He’s done some amazing contemporary typography and he must be quite good as hes interning for Font Shop International.
DixonBaxi were responsible for the new(ish) Five branding and they’ve put a lot of their work up on their Flickr site. They also did all the TV infographics for Formula 1.
A really nice Flash website that shows people’s responses to a weekly question.
I’ve discovered Harmonie intérieure; a French company that specialises in ‘wall decals’s is how I’d best describe them. But what I really liked was the small selection of posters they also sell.
As a grid/map nerd these caught my eye immediately. I couldn’t make my mind up between the Tokyo and the Seoul one so I got both. One came with a mini pocket version of the map that was equally well designed. There’s an amazing attention to detail even down to the outer cardboard box which has the Zero Per Zero logo cut into the opening flap. I’m not sure I could bare using it as an actual calendar and cover it up with my scruffy scribblings. Fairly cheap and really quick postage to the UK too.
