fitz.

first of all...i really love this poster! the colors are great and they style totally fits the band. second of all...i am really digging this group lately...especially this song:

coffee stirrers.

this was designed by a student to help promote a radio station at the london jazz festival. the cups are nothing special....but what i love are the coffee stirrers! love the different shapes!

jason munn.

love these posters. especially since they are all posters for bands! these are all by jason munn and these are only a couple of my favorites...there are a ton more over on his website.

earbudeez.

this is very clever marketing and package design!

waveforms.

i found this the other day on a random design website (and i am not going to give you the actual website because they have a lot of good stuff and over time i will probably use more of it!) so anyway...this designer decided to label the songs on this cd by depicting a song in one in squares of waveform. this gives every song a completely distinct image. there is so much that you could do with this in designing cd covers and things like that. the layout for this cd is pretty dumb...i am not going to lie, but my guess is that they did it this was just so you can see what their idea was. it was designed by joshua distler.

pretty cool.

legos.

it has been a longgggggg week, so i thought i would end it with something entertaining. i have seen this many times before, but we watched it in class again today and i thought it would be fun to show. the music video is completely made out of legos which is pretty sick. i can't image how long this would have taken - though watching it again and now knowing what i know about animating, i am sure the majority of it was done on a computer - but the idea of it is great.

i remember when my bro and i used to play with legos...that was always so much fun! i especially liked the little police station that we built...hahaha oh man...that was a long time ago.

anyway - back to the subject. i like how simple the colors are and how they aren't showing too much detail (which would be difficult anyway), though if you know the white stripes (thats who this music video is for) this looks exactly like them.

"fell in love with girl" by the white stripes - unfortunately i forget who the director is and sorry the video isn't the best quality...but its still fun...enjoy!
