 The video its self works so well. Everything slots in together to make this video that flows perfectly.

The lucky winner will receive full tuition for Langara College’s two-year Communication and Ideation (CID) program and an internship at Rethink..."- from the information underneath the video.  (follow link for video)   Rethink Canada 


Poster Design by "FruityCake". Unfortunately, no real name is given of the young female designer. I found this on 'designreviver.com' and the post is called "30 inspiring poster designs". I think its the worn, old look that this poster holds that draws me into it. I like the big typeface in the back with the low opacity and the stained colours of the background. designreviver.com. 30-inspiring-poster-designs


Obviously, this isn't a real t-shirt so I'm not to sure if it counts but lets imagine that it is! I love how the typography on the t-shirt makes it 3 dimentional. It makes a bland white t-shirt scream out a us. Its like its shouting out as us. Design done by Richard Roche. He is a Graphic Design student working on my BFA at Minnesota State University in Mankato. This t-shirt is based on Obama's victory speech.






The Stenberg Brothers. These are the guys who got me into graphic design. Their work is from 1919 onwards. They worked alot in many field of design but their name really excelled from their movie poster. The brothers were called Vladimir Stenberg (April 4 1899 – May 1, 1982) and Georgii Stenberg ( October 7 1900 – October 15, 1933) and were very much Soviet artists (Russian). The poster is so intersting. The colour used and how the 41 breaks up the poster. For their day they must have been  so inspirational. 




Graphic Design as Street Art. I love the typography and the illustration of this piece. i couldn't find the designer but I'm sure I will come across them soon. This work is fantastic. Follow this link and it is full of more work by the mystery designer. Street Art Typography by EME
