At the risk of flogging a dead horse, I do like the flair shown here by Laz Marquez in his reimagining of Hitchcock film artwork, particularly The Birds. (via Alex Seder)

Tribute poster design for Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill Volume 2 by Ibraheem Youssef. (via Dean Minifie)
Instructional poster designed by David Březina for his Skolar typeface (served by Typekit as the body text face for this blog). Love that lowercase “a”. (via Johno Boardley)

Whenever I’m feeling uninspired I like to make movie posters to get my creative juices going again.
Brooklyn-based illustrator, typographer and designer Jessica Hische has launched a store as part of her new site, where you can purchase her printed works including this type specimen sheet for the Daily Drop Cap project. Want!
Edit: Jessica also has one of the most in-depth Q&A pages I’ve ever seen, under the sweet title of “overshares”.
In Radiolab We Trust
A limited, affordable set of prints by five international artists, designers and illustrators — Jez Burrows, Frank Chimero, Nicholas Felton, Meg Hunt, and Impactist — all profits from the sale of which (after some scant printing and packaging costs are reclaimed) will go entirely to Radiolab and WNYC, New York Public Radio. (via Nicholas Felton)
“Know Your Weak Points!”, a poster designed by Olly Moss for episode five of A Life Well Wasted, “the internet radio show about video games and the people who love them”. I really dig Olly’s personal wordmark too, derived from four letters of the famous Hollywood sign. Clever. (via Tiny Cartridge)
Albert Exergian created this great set of minimalist film and television posters as a personal project. You’ll find these and many more on his blog, and his commercial portfolio is equally impressive (and much more ornate).
