Kate Peters photography ‘Ask the Dust’ contains a great set of images worth a look through. In fact all of her projects and portfolio combined create a brilliant collection of work. On top of that she studied photography here in Falmouth. Good stuff. Check it here.

Maria Fischer (Graphic Designer based in Munich) has this lovely book project as part of her portfolio. The book (‘Thoughts on Dreams’), presents a collection of psychological, literary, and scientific commentary on dreams and dream theories. The format of the book itself creates its own commentary on the structure of dreams, and presents the reader with a variety of coloured threads, which lead them through the book, and vary the narrative depending on which they choose to follow. Check out more information and pictures, here.

Poster for James Gunn’s upcoming film ‘Super’, which seems geared up to be a darker superhero comedy along the lines of last year’s Kick-Ass. It’s been on my radar for a while and it has a great poster to bring a bit more hype. Riann Wilson and Ellen Page star alongside Liv Tyler and Kevin Bacon. /Film blog gave a review of the cut shown at the Toronto International Film Festival, and it looks like it’s going to be good fun. Read the review here, though note that the cut reviewed will be most probably different from the one coming out in theatres come release date. Poster designed by film poster studio Mojo.

Design Studio GrandPeople is becoming a constant encounter in my browser, and rightly so. A variety of projects which all enforce a great sense of identity and strengths in the areas of print and branding. Their website is a great example of presenting work well, making full use of screen size. I struggled with picking out a project, but pictured above is a record sleeve designed for Norwegian band The Alexandra Quartet. Read more about it as well as check out the rest of the work here.

Edward Burtynsky’s photography gives a fascinating visual commentary on the relationship betweens industry, landscape and people. The work reminded me of photography documentary Manufactured Landscapes, before then realising that was because he made the film. Burttynsky is well known, but if you haven’t taken a look through his work before it’s worth your time. Do it here.

Pearlfisher have created the new packaging designs for the Natural Confectionery Company sweets packaging. Simple presentation of the product but making great relation to the characters on the packaging as well as the function of the sweets I guess. See the rest of the series here.

Just came across this iPhone game Colorblind by Nonverbal. I don’t have an iPhone but judging by the videos showing off the impeccable design and great presentation it looks like it’s worth the dollar. The game asks the user to drag ribbon across their screen in order to match it to coloured dots and create patterns. One version if free, the full version will cost you $2. Check out more information here.

Illustrator Tom Whalen was commissioned by well known film-centric Mondo to create this beautiful poster for Steamboat Willie, the first Mickey Mouse cartoon and animated sound cartoon from Walt Disney Studios way back in 1928. Already sold out after being on sale for a few mere hours, but take a closer look here. Think I might find some nice paper and just print the thing out myself.

Spencer Murphy’s ‘Fallen Empire’ is a series of photographs taken within the infamous Chinese Theme/Model Village Park ‘Splendid China’ in Florida, USA. The 76 acre park cost over $100 million to erect including a hand laid Great Wall of China. The park was closed down due to lack of visitors and controversy surrounding the historical accuracy of the park. Spencer’s Murphy’s project focuses on what’s left in the now quite vandalised park. See more shots here.

Mash Creative were commissioned by Icon Magazine to rethink the brand identity for British Royal Mail, and have done an awesome job on it. Their approach was to look back at the genesis of the brand, and strip the current designs right back to reflect the original intent. Thankfully they didn’t just slap Helvetica next to the logo and instead created their own typeface and specific guidelines with using type and colour as well as their simplified logo designs. Read through more of the project here.
