Minimalist Movies
17 Friday May 2013
Posted in By Design
Today is brought to you by Joe of Monster Gallery, a self-described “one man sweat shop” based in Singapore. He’s carved out a niche in the world of retro-inspired prints with a pop culture flavor. His re-imagining of movie posters in a mid-century minimalist style are pretty darn awesome. The prints come in a number of different sizes (4×6, 12×16, 16×22) and range in price from $8 – $32 USD. (Or, for $99 bucks, you can get a set of 35 4×6 prints!) Click on any image to visit his shop.
Well Said, Marc.

I like featuring the work of indie designers from this neck of the woods, so I thought I’d share some beautiful stationery products by Madison-based designer Kristin Joiner of 622 Press. I suppose – technically – Madison is in a whole different state; but I figure if you can get there by car in 5 hours, that’s close enough to be considered a neighbor. (As always, click to shop!)

Vahram Muratyan is a French graphic designer with high-profile clients like Prada and Hermès, who still somehow finds time to indulge his creative energy through personal projects. Paris vs. New York is one of those labors of love. He describes the work as “A friendly visual match between two cities told by a lover of Paris wandering through NewYork. Details, clichés, contradictions.” I shared a few of these clever juxtapositions a couple of years ago, and couldn’t resist sharing some of his newer pieces – along with a great little video. Hope you enjoy!
Well Said, Augusten.

The design talent here in Minneapolis is – in a word – epic. Here’s just one example; an identity system created for Salon Modern by Studio Minneapolis, a local agency delivering fresh branding approaches with a distinctly metro aesthetic.

“I want sugar in my tea”. A simple and fitting self-description from a brilliantly unique artist. Austin-based Leah Duncan was a designer in the agency world as well as for silkscreening companies before deciding she wanted to make a living doing what she loved: surface design. Today, she sells her quirky, folk-meets-modern textiles in both her Etsy shop and retail boutiques, while also picking up coveted commissions from the likes of Target, Land of Nod and Urban Outfitters.

A Case for Curiosity

I dunno. On Fridays, I often just want a 2-minute distraction; something inspiring. Something that reminds me to keep asking questions – to keep exploring and imagining possibilities. Something that I hope is taken to heart by two infinitely extraordinary little women across the pond who recently started following my blog. Girls, nestle up in your Parisian flat; give this a look-see and let me know what you think. Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
Well Said, Peter.
