More brilliant posters...

Postercabaret.com is based in Austin, Texas and they have some cool film posters reworked by artists... Very cool.

Terrorvision....

We all like a bit of Horror here at Doghouse towers, well, ironically with the exception of me, actually. Cosmo can usually be spotted sporting a lovely Fright Rag tee most days of the week, so this post is really for him.

Andrew Lindstrom of wellmedicated.com has kindly compiled a visual list of some of the most fantastic horror movie posters. They're split into Part One and Part Two.

I read this little tip off in February's edition of Creative Review.... great find, even if it was discovered a few months after he posted.

In fact, Andrew seems to have lots of interesting poster compilations, but the Horror posters really caught my eye and remind me that movie poster design has changed so much - and in my opinion has become a bit lame. There are of course regular exceptions, but in the absence of an outstanding exception why not enjoy these wonderful posters of days gone by....

I Heart the Alphabet...

You can't beat a bit of reet good typography. No, you can't. Any of you who attempted the recentley posted Empire Quiz will know how iconic typography can be - that's whether it's on a poster or on the titles of a movie.

Anyway, I've been digging a hole on the internet and found a lovely article showcasing some great examples of wonderful typography based design over at Smashing Magazine. Now I may be a motion graphic artist (or whatever), but that doesn't mean I don't hanker after one, single, beautifully designed page of type to chew on.

It's kind of made me realise I've been neglecting typography in my moving image work, and there's some fantastic designs here that have inspired me to be a bit more thoughtful about our good friend Typography.

If only they made alphabetti-bonio for us pooches. Woof.
