The Lost Art of Hand Lettering, work by Chris Yoon, a design student from Atlanta, Ga. Unlike many other Tumblrs, I actually credit the artist instead of blindly reblogging, thank you very much.

The Internet Movie Poster Awards site is a trove of visual inspiration. Above is the winner of the 2010 contest for best poster, for Rabbit Hole. Calling it equally beautiful and disturbing, the judges wrote:  A good poster usually tells a story with a single image. This one uses nine snippets of images to tell its story of the emotional ups and downs of two people. At either side of the design the characters are alone, in darkness, and in pain. In the center they are together, their world is brighter, and they are happy. One can read the order of emotions either way. Do they begin in happiness and end in despair or is it the other way around? The poster was designed by Ignition Print.

Fabulous work: In Caffeine We Trust: Infographic Print For Tracking Your Coffee Consumption Data by Column Five. “150 of our clients, and 50 of our partners received a limited edition print of this interactive coffee poster, which provides a canvas to track consumption data over the course of a month. The instructions outline a few calculations to analyze personal consumption trends. Once monthly tracking is complete, the drinker can use their coffee (or a stronger version thereof) to ‘paint’ their data onto the poster to complete the visualization.”   Quote and lead from lovedesignlife

Thanks to Dribbble and Twitter, I just discovered the work of this illustrator, Michael Newhouse. Not only does he do work I envy, he writes an irreverently witty description of himself, his work, his business and life in Bozeman, Montana*. *Example: Is -22 degrees so cold? It’s a dry cold.

In my life outside design (yes, I have one!), I’ve been working on the 2012 Arthouse Coop Sketchbook Project, with the theme “Forks and Spoons.” Above is some hand-lettering I did for one of the pages, using markers and colored pencils. You can see all the pages completed to date over on my Flickr photostream.
