This poster is beautiful but I wish it didn't take so long to figure out what it said.

'T' Shirts by Masashi Kawamura

A totally awesome concept from Masashi Kawamura. Combining typography and fashion into these clever "T" Shirts:

‘T’ shirts are T shirts that was designed to have the silhouette of 5 famous typefaces; Helvetica, Caslon, Baskerville, Courier, and Cooper Black.

In the world of typography, terms such as typeface, character, body, etc are used to describe the form of a letter. The reason why they use expressions closely related to a human body, is perhaps because each different letter has a distinct quality and personality, in a similar way that us humans are all unique.

In the designing process of these shirts, I aimed to capture the character of each typeface and tried to give them a unique look and presence once worn. By collaborating with Itaru Yonenaga, I feel we were able to produce a collection of shirts that is not only conceptual, but wearable as real clothes. I hope you will find your favorite shirt/typeface.

The Helvetica one is definitely my favorite, besides the obvious reasons. It's hip, minimal, and kinda androgynous. These will be available for purchase in January, but I must warn you, they're incredibly expensive (Helvetica is the cheapest at $230). I don't think I'd be able to justify buying one right now. When I have the money, though, you just wait...

Hello Couture

via WANKEN: "Stumbled upon this elegant project by Ryan Atkinson on Behance. The project was a mini poster series that brought design, typography and a bit of fashion together as a collaboration."

I'm dying from the sexiness.

More on Behance. (It's so worth it)

"True Grit" movie poster

I like the western style [I actually made something simliar a couple years ago. It's nice to see mine isn't necessarily worse than this one above (though the background texture could use work)]. I also like the bullet wound. Movie posters should be more bold like this. It's eye-catching and interesting. Reminds me somehow of working at a movie theater and seeing all the new posters come in and choosing which ones to put up. Memories.

"Agora"

The trailer for this bored me stiff, but I was so captivated by this title card at the end. Since I have no idea what the plot of the film is, I don't know if this is appropriate... But it's fricken beautiful and totally epic.. And now I've been looking at NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day all day.

Space is so beautiful and fascinating.
