Beautiful Book Covers

Lately, I’ve been busy doing a lot of publication covers for some clients and I’m a bit worn out. So today, I thought I’d check online for some inspiration.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This one is really cute

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love minimalist covers

Just some Documentary Posters

Just a quick break from my work to share some of these beautiful posters :)

Music from the Big House. Love this poster! So clever. The film is about a recording artist who discovers the musical talents of the inmates of the Louisiana Penitentiary, the birthplace of the blues. Interesting. Will have to watch this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another cool poster from the same documentary

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Outrage. About the secret lives of closeted gay politicians.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Food Inc.  About the US food industry and how our food is made. I like the poster but I don’t think I can watch this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Imposter. I like how they played with the title type here.

Man on Wire. Another really simple poster but really beautiful.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Helvetica.  How else can you make this poster? :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Senna. If the bottom of this was just all yellow, it would be perfect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Leh Wi Tok (Let Us Talk). When radio gives voice to the voiceless. Love, love, love this poster. It’s by NAIL

Ok that’s it! Back to work again for me. . . .

Interesting Rooms: Justin

I loooove visiting people’s houses. Even more so their bedrooms :) I love looking at the little trinkets they collect, the books they read, and other oddities that they like. I also get  ideas for my own house.

A couple of months ago, I got to visit my nephews room. His name is Justin and he loves drawing and collecting strange things.

His room is really tiny but I like how he laid it out. It  has this unfinished look to it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looking at his cute  toy collection, you wouldn’t imagine that he’s this really tall, well built guy :) hehehe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After I saw that Unicorn Meat can, I just had to search for it online. Inside is a dismembered stuffed unicorn :)  You can purchase it here: ThinkGeek

Love this stapler :) And check out the heads at the back. hihihi

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

His future grave marker

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When my kids are older, I want to install a ledge like this in our hallway for their little toy figurines :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But the real gem of his room,  is the view from his bed. . . .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sure it’s just a wig, blanket and a pillow, but its still super creepy . hehehe

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Too bad we were in a hurry so I wasn’t able to take more photos.

Another Use for Scotch Tape

I don’t really understand why I like this series, but i do :) There’s just something about it that’s really . . . fun. hahaha

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s a series that photographer Wes Naman calls Scotch Tape :) There’s an article about it here

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wish he’d also take a video of them putting it on and taking it off too. hehehe
