POLAND

POLAND magazine covers, courtesy of Jeremy Pettis. This was a magazine from the 60's and 70's that featured Polish writings, art, illustration and other various cultural articles. Visit his Flickr page for more of these and other great things.

KHUAN+KTRON

I quit! That's how these pieces by Belgian design film KHUAN+KTRON make me feel, with a little bit of profound inspiration thrown in there too. Seriously though -- how beautiful are these Weekend Knack magazine covers that Grain Edit posted yesterday? I'm just in awe. Scanning through their Flickr and their official portfolio, here are some more of my favorites. I would love to know which artists, between Ningtiendo Sehgah, Acidpluto, and Mikail Mitmalka, are responsible for these different images.

BIOGRAF

For fun, I've turned the ridiculously irrational task of listing my favorite movies of the past decade into a little design project. I've imagined a fictional European film magazine seemingly made just for me, featuring my favorite films on each cover. Although I'm not very skilled with the whole making something fake look real thing, a few people I've talked to actually believed this was a real magazine. I'm fully aware that dropping a film still into a template and slapping some type on it doesn't really count as sophisticated design, but as with last year's 2009 film stamp series, its just a fun way to celebrate these movies I love aesthetically as a change of pace from writing about them. More will be trickling in through my Flickr page over the coming weeks so check back.
