149 Sci-Fi Icons on One Poster by Chopshopstore
149 well-known celebrated robots, aliens and sci-fi vehicles extracted from film, television, video games, cartoons, children’s books, rock music and more. Fantastic idea, great concept, green color, something that we all need, great inspiration. One of nine poster from gkboey’s “Batman – Joker Graffiti Posters” series with very interesting graffiti color combination. 6m long poster designed for a clothing store in Merksplas, Belgium filled with joy, vivid colors and great details,very nice and impressive work. B-Society is a real Danish institution, created with the intention of raising awareness and providing support for B-Type people. Basically a B-Type individual is someone whose sleep pattern is dramatically different to the recognised ‘norm.’ This is something they are unable to change, and so forcing them to work within a rigid 9-5 culture has a negative effect on their wellbeing and work output. B-Types are generally artists, designers and writers. Very cool and clean style, inverted colors, great show of capoeira movements. Fantastic Design vs. Music poster created for dj/vj-sets at the Insomnia Festival in Tromsø. Here we have a typographic based poster design based on one of author favourite quotes. Advertising campaign for Ikebana, a beach resort and wellness centre. Genesis – great idea, amazing detail and composition, beautiful 3d illusion. It was used for the promotion of the “The East Asian Seas Congress 2009″. Excellent idea and very nice poster. Look! Graphics design is visual manipulation.It consists of manipulated visual stuff that is used in turn to manipulate you in some way for some reason: for your own good and / or for that of those who manipulate you. Do you agree? Author’s hometown Jeju – beautiful island filled with harmony of love, happiness and enjoyment. Series of four poster designs for classic Hitchcock films — Psycho, The Birds, Vertigo and Rear Window — that look like they’d fit right in with each movie’s original material campaign. Amazing! Mosaic portrait made for the Swedish Summer and Autumn campaign of IKEA. Great idea, with very nice concept and execution. The key word – Diversity! This poster illustration was done for the 10th annual imagineNATIVE film festival in Toronto, Canada. Nice illustration.Good details. It feels like she is slowly flowing under water. Everything is done with few colors, contrast and tone. Beautiful concept, beautifully executed. New poster done as experiment, added old JAT logo, fits the shape better. Good concept! This project is based on nearly extinct animals. Authors wanted to make a piece per every endangered species but the amount of the endangered or extinct animals were enormously big.Here we have one example – ocelot. Wonderful smooth structure, great scenes and colors. A poster designed for a movie score for a non-existent ‘space opera’ called mirror mirror. soon to be printed and featured on NYmoon.com, where you can also listen to the score composed. Good execution. Minimalistic and clean outlook. Evoking typography. Very nice and simple “feel good” posters with dose of inspiration and motivation.

Amazing artwork with great typo and illustration. Fantastically bright and strikingly beautiful posters from Tavis Coburn for the BAFTA’s filled with so much color and drama. He did a great job and all five posters are pure pieces of art. Here we have one of this, extremely detailed Avatar image which has red and blue around the edges, as a reference to the film being in 3D. This is from author’s personal project. He create posters for some of his favorite movies. Posters are made from vector portraits of actors. Absolutely wonderful work, very organic, phenomenal details, incredible colors, sharp illustrations, pitch perfect typography, beautiful compositions and portraiture. Amazing! We decide to show you The Deer Hunter poster. The form of every object in its natural functions and presuppositions by systematically experimenting in theory and practice. This one is my favorite. And here is the author explanation: This is a Typography Graphic Design Poster designed for Uprinting contest. These posters by Ross Berens are beautiful. They’re of all nine of the planets and their moons we knew before 2006, with various details of their atmospheres, orbits and other features displayed using a range of infographic styles. We choose to show you Jupiter – the largest planet. Lovely things!

MTD Advertising Poster by c0redump

And a few sentence from author:
“As part of the digital photography module, we had to design a poster that advertises the BSc (Hons) Multimedia Technology & Design degree at the University of Kent, Canterbury. I came up with the idea of using squares after thinking about how we look through a window. I wanted an abstract feel, which would tie in with the “and design” aspect of the degree programme. The point of the whole abstract approach to this was to let the viewer know that you have to use your brain and fill in the blank gaps yourself; in the way you feel they should be filled in. You travel the journey through the three years, but how you do it, and what you do, are up to you. The text “imagine, visualise, design, construct, create” at the bottom that I created sum up the whole journey; and at the end of that journey, that there isn’t really any end, it’s just more black blank gaps for you to do your own thing and be creative”.Posters by Justin Black

The Form Posters by automatte

The Looking Glass by James White

“I wanted to switch up the style a bit with this one, so I took some time to adjust my shapes adding more rounded edges. Makes for a softer style and a little bit art deco.
The Looking Glass is influenced by Polaroid package and identity design from the 60s and 70s with it’s simplistic lines and bold colors.”
It’s very simple, for me, this is the real masterpiece.Typography Graphic Design Poster by Alex H

Great concept, excellent photo treatment, nice color and cool typography.Under the Milky Way by Ross Berens

World Day of Design Poster by Daniel Kohan

And authors says:
“We came up with the idea that diversity is fundamental to the design of humanity, as shown by the diversity of our fingerprints. Well, it’s hard to explain, but when you blow up a bunch of thumbprints really big it looks cool”

May 27, 2010I think all of them are damn good collection. Color, detail, shading and shadowing, all seems perfect. Although some of posters are confusing for me. The most impressive change that looks good I think is the “MTD Advertising Poster by c0redump”.
