Got wind of this group on Flickr called project 365. They ask you to take a photo a day for a year, so in an effort to flex my creative muscles, I decided to give it a whirl. Below are January’s photos, and I’m happy to say that so far, I haven’t missed a day. Only 11 more months to go.
What’s your favorite image from January? Leave your thoughts in the comment field below. (FYI – My personal favorite is 14/365, Paper Sisters.)
This months Poster showcase is for a film I was lucky enough to be involved with. THE ART OF THE STEAL is the latest documentary by Don Argott & 9.14 Pictures (Rock School, Two Days in April) that tells the story of Dr. Albert C. Barnes and struggle over his mult-billion dollar art collection housed at the Barnes Foundation in Philly. Back when I was on-staff at 9.14, I helped out on the production side of this project, and I’m so pleased at the way it turned out, as well as all the buzz it’s been getting over the last few months. I had a chance to check it out at last years NYFF and it blew me away. It’s being release in theaters on February 26th, so if you get the chance, go check it out. You can look up where it’s playing near you over at the Sundance Selects website.
Now, onto the poster. The one-sheet was designed by Neil Kellerhouse and Kellerhouse, Inc. (who’s probably best known for designing Criterion Collection art) and uses newspaper clippings to create a terrific film noir/caper style figure. Design has a very old-fashion, art deco quality to it, reminding me of the great master, Saul Bass. A great poster, for flick. (I may be a little biased)
A small set of High Res textures I come across on my way from the subway to my office in Fishtown, PA. You can check out the entire set over @ Flickr.
I just picked up a new Nikon D90 over the Holiday and broke it in @ the 2010 Mummers Parade held in Philly. With a ton of vibrant colors and amazing characters, it was the perfect venue to test out what the Digital SLR was made of. Although I’m extremely happy with the results, I can definitely see myself picking up a nice wide lens and a better (…and Crisper) zoom lens in 2010. But first things first…enjoy the pictures.
Not to be confused with the 1963 Bond film, todays poster is not a sequel or re-imagining of TO RUSSIA WITH LOVE, it’s from the new John Travolta action flick, FROM PARIS WITH LOVE. Designed by the team over at Ignition Print, the teaser poster is the one I’m the most taken with. The studio has since released a few (Sub-par) alternate designs, but they’re your typical looking one sheets.
This version keeps it simple and combines two elements to create a striking image. Surely intentional, it reminds me of some of the classic Bond posters from the 60s and 70s. The film centers on a young employee in the office of the US Ambassador hooks up with an American spy looking to stop a terrorist attack in the city. Not the most original concept in the book, but at least they have a killer looking teaser poster. The film does look to have a few silver linings: First, it’s based on a story by Luc Besson. Second, it’s directed by Pierre Morel (Taken) - so there may be hope for it yet. FROM PARIS WITH LOVE is due in theaters February 5, 2010.
Just in time for the Holidays, I went ahead and got myself an early present. Spent the last couple of weeks not only redesigning my logo (Featured above in my 2009 Holiday Card) and ID, but also building this fancy new site. Hope you have a chance to stay a while and have a look around. Also, wanted to wish everyone Happy Holidays. Hope you all have a magical December, a Holiday filled with friends, family and cheer and of course a happy New Year.
Todays Movie Poster showcase is brought to you by Andrew Lindstrom and his design site, Well Medicated. He’s pulled together 100 Illustrated Horror Film Posters, some of which are amazing illustrated posters and others that I just good fun. There are just too many amazing posters to spotlight, but some of my favorites are JAWS, FRIGHT NIGHT, THE THING, HOUSE and ROAD GAMES. He’s split the showcase into two-parts, with the 2nd post coming on October 31st. Enjoy. UPDATE: 2nd Part has been posted.
