Cameron Moll’s Colosseo Typography Poster

Dumped in the Design and People and Type pile on March 23, 2010.

“What began as a 10-year wedding anniversary to Rome concluded a year later as an artistic endeavor to re-imagine the Coliseum with type.” Kudos for the dedication and excellence, Cameron. Now, where’s my credit card.

Justin Gallagher - Filmmaker

Dumped in the Ads and Film and People pile on February 25, 2010.

I recently came across this Shoe Biz/Asics spot by young filmmaker Justin Gallagher. I love the single-minded focus of TJ, the rider (a legit bike messenger), as he books down a quintessential San Fran street, showboating the bona fide durability of the Asics ‘66 Mexico style shoe on a fixie (of course). All sweet action. Cue the contrapuntal soundtrack by Doolan Roobenstein and you have a seriously fresh and straightforward package that delivers a noninvasive sell for the client. Heck, I even bought a pair—and fixies scare me to death.

Be sure to check other projects by Justin on his website/blog, http://gallagherfilms.blogspot.com. I also love the Adidas Celebration Commercial where Justin highlights power moves that remind me I never should have given up breakdancing (bitter sweet).

BOB PEAK: THE MODERN MOVIE POSTER & BEYOND

Dumped in the Art and Design and People pile on June 10, 2009.

Bob Peak (1927-1992) was an American commercial illustrator best known for innovative design in the development of the modern movie poster. He completely transformed the approach to movie advertising—sans-MacBook Pro. United Artist hired Peak in 1961 to help promote “West Side Story.” His innovative solution-painting characters and scenes into a single montage-became the first of over 100 such posters, among them “My Fair Lady,” “Camelot,” “Rollerball,” “Star Trek,” “Superman” and “Apocalypse Now.” His artwork has been used on the cover of Time magazine, TV Guide, and Sports Illustrated—not to mention numerous ads and postage stamps.

His imaginative, futuristic, colorful and whimsical style is still at work, influencing some of the most talented and creative designers of our day. You can see signs of Peak in the retro-modern works of designers like James White, Scott Hansen, and Joshua Davis. Peak was truly ahead of the game in his time and continues to be an icon and model of influence for ours.
