“Historically Hardcore” is a poster campaign done by two advertising students - very funny.
Set against monochrome backgrounds, painter Edward del Rosario’s fairytale-like scenes depict people counterposed with nature in charmingly unsettling ways. The Brooklyn-based artist has been exploring the subject for the past eight years, each piece adding to a larger meta-narrative that explores the “aftermath of a post-colonial world.” His latest installment of curious paintings will show at L.A.’s Richard Heller gallery in the upcoming exhibition simply titled “Fable.”

Michael Myers designs these smart and simple vintage style super hero posters. The stylized illustrations and digitally aged paper combine for a very cool effect.

“Flyer Design Goodness” is a blog dedicated to flyer and poster art. In their own words: “Flyer Goodness is a flyer design blog dedicated to highlighting disposable art — masterpieces that are thrown in the garbage, rained on, and plastered over in less than a week.”

In the international bun fight that is the augmented reality trend, the simple ol’ QR Code seems to have been all but forgotten. For those of you who aren’t familiar with QR, you simply take a picture of the code with your camera phone. This will cause the phone’s browser to launch and redirect you to the programmed URL. In this case, the poster QR code takes you to the mobile site where you can find lots of movie related stuff.

Swiss posters designed by Wolfgang Weingart for Kunstgewerbeschule Basle in 1974. These, and a number of other Swiss poster designs, are at The Swiss Poster Collection at Carnegie Melon University. Go have a history lesson. Very interesting.
