Creative Spotlight: Episode #143 – Tomer Hanuka | Japan Cinema. Full Review If you’re unfamiliar with what Tomer Hanuka is all about, you’ve been doing your eyes a great disservice. From his excellent Mondo film posters, to his fantastic ability to apply his comic-inspired style which have enabled his work to reach all kinds of audiences. The next step is to share him with mine. He has created book jacket images for Penguin, Random House, Scholastic, Tor and others, and a raft of periodicals including Playboy, Rolling Stone, Business Week, Time, The New York Times and Der Spiegel have all been graced with his imagery. Do you only do movie prints for films that personally resonate with you and you can choose your projects with Mondo?
Tomer: They will send over a query, just to feel out where the wind is blowing. Could you give us an update on Hard Apple? Tomer: A short pilot is in late production stages. You’ve done work for an ecclectic variety of clients. Thumbing through your book, your illustrations are highly imaginative. T. HANUKA. Meet The Accidental Designer Of The GitHub And Twitter Logos.
Simon Oxley was drinking beer and watching TV on his couch (like any good freelancer) when he noticed that a hot new startup called Twitter was using his art as a logo. At first, he thought he was drunk. “I checked the label on the beer I was drinking and called my wife to come see,” he says. “It was a total, surreal surprise.” Oxley, who is British-born and Tokyo-based, was (and is) a freelance contributor to iStockphoto, one of the web’s most popular resources for stock photos and illustrations. He originally joined the service because Adobe Creative Suite came with a free membership.
But since then, he’s become a power user, uploading almost 10,000 images and selling 100,000. He was even asked to design iStockphoto’s own logo, in 2009. His biggest sales, though, have been from startups like Twitter, who paid “a relatively small amount of money” for a library of images including the bird and the robot, which still appears when you visit a broken link. Author Quote Posters - Design. Being around a successful author would surely be exhausting and inspiring in equal amounts. As well as all that wisdom they put into their books, their thought-provoking one-liners would literally be falling out here, there and everywhere.
So while you'd beat yourself up for not possessing even a smidgen of that kind of talent, you'd also be maniacally scribbling it all down for dinner party quoting. The rather smart Evan Robertson has created a set of posters that combine iconic author quotes with genius design work. If you don't want at least two of these hanging on your wall then we need to have a serious chat. Tags: books, Design, Posters. 75 Mysteries Of Science, Gorgeously Illustrated. I think we all have a certain nostalgia for our old science textbooks, even if most were pretty hideous on the inside. I swear that from grades 2 to 12, I had a biology book where every illustration was colored with some variation of coral, so this dull, pink fleshiness is how I imagine everything from ribosomes to ganglia. The Where, the Why, and the How is a new hardcover published by Chronicle Books that answers some of science’s most fun questions--like “Why do we blush?”
Or “What existed before the Big Bang?” The best parts, however, may be the contributions from 75 artists--free-form illustrations that riff on the scientific essays with as much literality or imagination as the artist chose. The result of this collaboration is like a science book published by The New Yorker. Images range from 1980s textbooks homages (coral!) To dinosaur watercolors to Escherian mind-benders to straight-up trippy, surrealist work that would be at home on an album cover. Why do we blush? Buy it here. Our Work - Post Typography.
