This month <a href="http://theposterboys.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">my design podcast The Poster Boys</a> will pore over the history of Penguin book cover design. Every day this month <a href="http://samsmyth.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">on my Tumblr</a>, I'll be posting a cover I love by one of the many great designers and art directors that contributed to the company's aesthetic history--- please follow along. <br />
<br />
Polish artist Romek Marber, after fleeing a Bochnia ghetto as a teenager, made his way to Britain, earned an education scholarship, then studied art at St. Martin's School of Art and the Royal College of Art before beginning his professional career designing covers of The Economist, among other editorial work.<br />

Around 1961, after designing a few covers for Penguin Books, Marber pitched to the company's new art director Germano Facetti a winning re-brand for Penguin Books' Crime series (I am quite curious to see the other two designers' submissions). Based on the now-famous Marber Grid, these designs retained Penguin's signature brand reliability while moving a new modern aesthetic direction; Penguin's traditional Gil Sans type moved out of the way for a sans-serif Groestk face (note quite Helvetica, which came later) which, in the Crime series, was allowed to not even follow strict capitalization rules. With the branding, title, and author all situated handsomely atop the board, Marber left the remaining negative space for bold, abstract, psychological visual interpretations of the moody stories within.<br />
<br />

<br />
Marber designed over 70 of these covers himself, and called up top British designers David Birdsall, John Sewell, Alan Fletcher, George Mayhew, Ursula Noerbel, and a dozen others to cover additional titles, none of which I've shown here as they deserve their own posts.<br />

In a great example of Penguin's ongoing effort to brand certain authors within their overall brand, Marber hid a white cutout body on each Dorothy L. Sayers cover-- I love this.<br />

I imagine that Penguin-- and their fans-- loved these covers as much then as we do today. No surprise, then, that Facetti wanted to try out Marber's solution in other series outside of Crime. In Fiction, where orange was Penguin's famous identifying color, Marber tried some illustrated Simenon covers, and after that it was a go. As it turned out, a two-color design looked just as great in blue or orange as it did in green.<br />

The Marber grid stuck, first more strictly in the Pelican and Fiction series, and then only in spirit; When the formal lines of Marber's grid needed to have some flexibility, they moved, and when the Marber grid eventually went away, the Marber style and influence remained stronger than ever in Penguin's cover type and composition.<br />

Marber's work under Facetti remains iconic as ever. Other folks have written about this period more eloquently than I have, and I encourage fans to check out <u>Penguin by Design</u>, and The Penguin Collector's Society's <u>Penguin by Designers</u> which transcribes one of Marber's recent talks (he was hired to create a new cover for Penguin's 70th birthday celebration). You'll find more designs in Postcards from Penguin, and with any luck we'll see more gallery shows devoted to Marber's great work.<br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #b45f06;">P.S. You know how great a designer is when you see how many imitations crop up years later. I'm only issuing one coupon for Marber imitators, and it goes to the same guy who got my only coupon for Saul Bass (Anatomy of a Burger anyone?).... Olly Moss. It doesn't hurt that he made waves for this early on, seeming to have been the first to riff on Marber with a clever mash-up-- here of some classic video games. I remember being filled with ecstatic jealousy when I first saw these. But remember, he gets my only coupon!</span><br />

<span style="text-align: start;">Artist and illustrator <b>Geoff McFetridge</b> knows how to pull on my heartstrings. From time to time, to commemorate his daughter's school plays, he has designed and printed these posters. I love them, and not just because I cut my poster design teeth with my own school play posters back in high school. In their composition and their imagination, they really inspire me. I would love to see them at a larger size; these images come from Geoff's </span><a href="https://instagram.com/mcfetridge" style="text-align: start;" target="_blank">Instagram</a><span style="text-align: start;"> feed where he has posted them without great fanfare, as side projects made for the love of it.</span></div>

<b>Paul Rand</b>, the topic of this month's upcoming episode of The Poster Boys, didn't design quite as many posters as he did book jackets, corporate logos, and magazine covers. But he did design some, and they caught my eye when I first started learning about graphic design. Here are my favorites; Visit <a href="http://theposterboys.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">The Poster Boys</a> for more on Rand coming soon. </div>

This week on the <a href="http://theposterboys.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">brand new episode</a> of our design podcast <b>The Poster Boys</b>, Brandon and I discuss the work of one of our very favorite poster artists, German designer <b>Hans Hillmann</b>. I first posted some of Hillmann's posters a while back (<a href="http://samsmyth.blogspot.com/2010/07/hans-hillmann_22.html" target="_blank">see those here</a>), and this week we've been loading up the Poster Boys site with all of our favorite Hillmann designs (<a href="http://theposterboys.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">see those here</a>). But here I wanted to post a few of Hillmann's early posters, where he enjoyed rendering his subjects in black painted illustrations on bold colorful backgrounds-- a trick for cost saving during the silkscreen process back in the early days working with film distributor Neue Filmkunst. Later, his work evolved to display a masterful mixture and back-and-forth between illustrative and photographic styles; Look for another post of more of my favorite designs this week. </div>

In catching up on blog updates, I realized I hadn't yet announced the start of my new design podcast with my colleague Brandon Schaefer, <b>The Poster Boys</b>. We're four episodes into a series of long and casual conversations about important poster artists, designers, and movements in graphic design history. The hub for The Poster Boys is our Tumblr page,<a href="http://theposterboys.tumblr.com/" target="_blank"> <b>theposterboys.tumblr.com</b></a>, where we attempt to solve the problem of making a visual topic aurally stimulating by showing you the images and posters we're talking about, all in one tidy and chronological spot. <a href="http://theposterboys.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Check it out and follow us</a>.</div>

As Brandon and I both design movie posters, our conversations naturally veer into this area as we discuss the challenges and rewards of working in that particular industry. Brandon and I met designing movie posters online for fun and have remained friends since as we both moved into the world of professional design. You can see his great work at <a href="http://seekandspeak.com/">seekandspeak.com</a>.</div>

Our first topic was an obvious choice: <b>Saul Bass</b>, legendary designer of movie posters, title sequences, and short films. Such a towering figure of design that we had to take two full episodes to stretch out the conversation (hear <a href="http://theposterboys.tumblr.com/post/105415877663/episode-1-saul-bass-part-1" target="_blank">Part One here</a>, and <a href="http://theposterboys.tumblr.com/post/108255746390/episode-2-saul-bass-part-2" target="_blank">Part Two here)</a>. We discuss his work with logos and corporate branding, his film icons and posters, his industrial films, his artistic collaborators, and his philosophy about what makes good design.</div>

Anyone of my generation knows Struzan's work from a variety of 80's and 90's adventure posters that adorned the theater halls of their childhood, including his iconic work on the Back to the Future, Indiana Jones, and Star Wars films (we saved Star Wars for a special "galaxy far far away" episode coming later this year).</div>

Gill outlines a concise, refreshing, and potentially game-changing philosophy of design problem solving in his various books and talks, and we celebrate his rules and vocabulary in this episode. Each episode we also open up "The Flat File" to look at the posters for a particular film that were produced by different designers and artists around the world for various purposes, and here we have a particularly interesting and sobering example of the artist's eternal struggle with the marketing machine.</div>

Which brings us to Episode Five, coming later this month, on <b>the Polish Poster School</b>. It's a mammoth topic, and I'm sure we'll only just scratch the surface of this influential movement in design, where Polish artists and designers of the 40's and 50's worked through the post-war social realist era and gave birth to an entirely new and daring language of film poster design. I'll be sure to post again when this episode is up, and you can click around on my blog here (or use the Categories section on the right) to find a whole slew of Polish poster posts.</div>

An art book devoted to the pages of Polish magazine <b>Ty i Ja</b> would make for an interesting look at Polish culture in the 60's, and a companion to the newfound micro-academia surrounding the poster art of the Polish poster school. Founded in 1959, the monthly magazine celebrated all facets of culture from poetry and literature to theatre and film. Legendary poster designers like Roman Cieslewicz and Eryk Lipinski contributed cover and interior designs regularly, and Cieslewicz served as art director there for its first three years.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This month, my new design podcast with Brandon Schaefer, <b><a href="http://theposterboys.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">The Poster Boys</a></b>, will dig into the art and politics of the Polish poster school. Until we record, I'm basking in as much research as possible, and couldn't forget to share these Ty i Ja covers, several of which come respectfully from Savanah Design.</div>

I'm very proud to share the art and announcement of<b> Joe Pisapia</b>'s new record <i><b>Nightvision</b></i>, the follow-up to the Nashville producer/songwriter/musician's 2000 record <i>Daydreams</i>. I co-produced the album with Joe and will also be playing with the Pisapia band every Thursday evening this month at <a href="http://samsmyth.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-pisapia-love-in.html" target="_blank">the Pisapia Love-In</a>. Beginning March 19th, CDs will be available at the Love-In through <a href="http://joepisapia.bandcamp.com/" style="font-weight: bold;">joepisapia.bandcamp.com</a>, where you can also stream, download, and pay what you want for the album. There you will also find three singles Joe has released from <i>Nightvision.</i></div>

Nashvillians know Joe as the bandleader of Joe, Marc's Brother; others know him as the producer and collaborator for Guster, k.d. lang and the Siss Boom Bang, and Ben Folds Five. Joe's music has always meant so much to me, and it was an honor to collaborate on this project which I believe is the culmination of his musical life and work thus far. Have a listen to the singles and please enjoy Nightvision from this March 19th!</div>

Nashville music lovers: <b>The Pisapia Love-In</b> continues each Thursday in March at the 5 Spot. Featuring the music of Joe Pisapia and Joe, Marc's Brother. In addition to providing the poster art, I'll be playing some percussion and singing in the Pisapia band which features some of the town's finest musicians. As part of the residency, Joe will release his new solo record "<b>Nightvision</b>" on Thursday March 19th (see the link for more on the album and its artwork). Come on out and feel the love vibration.</div>

Some of my first poster designs were created for the halls of USN, my former high school. 15 years later things have come full circle and I'm back on their walls again with this poster for <a href="http://www.usn.org/page/Alumni/Movie-Night-at-the-Belcourt---April-21-2015-new" target="_blank">USN Movie Night</a>, an evening of alumni film work. 18x24" limited edition screenprints will be available at this event at the Belcourt Theatre (rescheduled for April 21st). It's always a pleasure to be part of the USN family, and I thank them for this fun opportunity to celebrate their 100th birthday!</div>

Copies of my DVD package design for <b>LOW DOWN</b> just came in. I did a one-sheet for Oscilloscope Laboratories last year, and got to play around with a more jazz-inspired look for this release. Check out this beautiful film about pianist Joe Albany if you have the chance. </div>

Founding member of Tangerine Dream, <b>Edgar Froese</b>, passed away this week. As a lover of ambient and electronic music, I have spent some time over the past few years digging through the vast Tangerine Dream catalog and picking out what I consider to be the peak moments in Froese's career, mostly falling during the early-to-middle era of the Dream, of which Froese has been the only consistent member through the years. A primer, if you will. <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/bmhrp8dyi194pmt/Pinnacles%20-%20An%20Edgar%20Froese%20Primer.mp3?dl=0" target="_blank">Download and listen here</a>.<br />

In addition to Tangerine Dream's well-known film scores for SORCERER, THE KEEP, and many other films, Froese composed perhaps his finest soundtrack for the obscure German cyberpunk thriller KAMIKAZE 89, which I will link to in full below. Also below for further viewing: Tangerine Dream live at Coventry Cathedral in 1975, and a video of Froese doing his thing on a garden patio for German television in 1981.<br />

<br />
Of all the weird ways that I've processed and revealed my favorite films of the year, this one has perhaps been the most unexpected; While exploring a new character illustration style, I needed some subjects, and decided to take a crack at the heroes of my Top Ten Movies of 2014. I illustrated characters from 9 out of my 10 (shown above), and <a href="http://samsmyth.wazala.com/" target="_blank">even put prints of them up in my shop</a> if you're crazy enough to want one or more.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
As for the ranked list, here it is.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. BOYHOOD</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. UNDER THE SKIN</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. GONE GIRL</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4. THE TALE OF PRINCESS KAGUYA<br />
5. IDA</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
</div>
6. BIRDMAN</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
7. THE ZERO THEOREM<br />
8. MOOD INDIGO</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9. CITIZENFOUR</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
10. THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL</div>
<br />
It was a year in which I loved far fewer movies than in years past. I can't even say I truly loved all ten of the above choices. Even still, I must give a few honorable mentions to FORCE MAJEURE, THE KINGDOM OF DREAMS AND MADNESS, SELMA, THE CONGRESS, DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, NIGHT MOVES, A MOST WANTED MAN, 20000 DAYS ON EARTH, MISTAKEN FOR STRANGERS, and THE STRANGE COLOR OF YOUR BODY'S TEARS.<br />

<br />
Neil Kellerhouse's UNDER THE SKIN tops my list of movie poster designs of the year, but it's practically a tie with THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL which, along with every prop and printed material in the film itself, was designed by Annie Atkins. Some other favorites can be seen below-- outstanding beacons of hope in a wasteland of 2014 theatrical poster design.<br />
<br />
Adrian Curry also has a nice list, as always, <a href="https://mubi.com/notebook/posts/the-best-movie-posters-of-2014" target="_blank">at Movie Poster of the Week</a>.<br />

And as "alternative" movie posters by Mondo and the like continue to soar leaps and bounds above where theatrical posters are often allowed to go, I have to also give honorable mention to two of my favorites this year, We Buy Your Kids' THE FLY and Martin Ansin's tribute to the 1966 BATMAN.<br />

I'm happy to share this new theatrical poster I designed and illustrated for the release of Christophe Honoré's new film <b>MÉTAMORPHOSES</b>. Below is another snap of the poster, just sent to me by Christophe, in an alternate wide version for French theatres and subways. Look for the film in France and around the world this year.</div>

Before selecting <a href="http://www.criterion.com/films/28547-a-hard-day-s-night" target="_blank">Rodrigo Corral's explosive cover design</a> for the newly restored A HARD DAY'S NIGHT, Criterion had me throw a few quick ideas onto the pile. Following suit after checking out <a href="http://fron-miller.blogspot.com/2014/07/yeah-yeah-yeah_8.html" target="_blank">F. Ron Miller's designs</a> the other day, I thought I'd post my favorite design I submitted. The 1964 Beatles classic is now playing at the Belcourt Theatre in Nashville and in other fine theatres across the world.
