Moving Pictures / "Inlingua: War made of Words"


O, something to take your minds off this week's super sensationalised piece of chika.

I'm not one to get excited over things with war themes (movies, games, etc) but team it up with type? Where do I sign up?

Art & Design / Movie Posters: Yes Man, Catch Me If You Can and Oldies but Goodies Posters of Yestercenturyear

I saw this poster in the paper two weeks ago I think. Love at first sight. Especially the type/font. I still love my serif fonts (cause it's only recently that I started liking serif fonts..even Times New Roman!) but I have also developed a liking towards thin (light) fonts and bold (heavy) fonts. Serifs+Sans Serif mode.

Anyway. About posters. Karumal wrote an entry about great movie posters of our lolo's times. He thinks there are no more cool posters today. Well, it's quite true. But there are still a few movies with great posters. Yes Man is one. Catch Me If You Can's poster is nice too.

catch me if you can poster

But back in the times when iPods and DVDs were unheard of, movie companies produced better looking posters worth hanging/collecting. From Karumal's blog, here are some of the posters I loved. Click here to see the rest.

Type-tastic again!! Very cool graphics too. Lovit. A video about how "we can save the environment by organizing the way we spend our money".

PS (esp to type junkies and the extra observant)—I tried to identify the origins of the cut-out letters. M and I are from Miu Miu, no? How about the other letters?
