Moon


After visiting London again this week for what seems like the 50th time this summer, I kept on seeing the film poster advert for a new film by Duncan James, I watched the trailer and thought the photography and imagery used was stunning. I'm not really into Space and all the Sci-fi genre but the film looks fantastic.

The Moon always looks great with a dark space like background, but on the poster instead of going for an obvious look they decided to use continuously decreasing circles to represent the Moon which really catches the eye. I think using an image of the Moon alone would have maybe made the film look more like a documentary. But this simple black and White image with a graphic Moon, really made me want to see the movie.

This week I have mostly been looking at...


Whilst using the excellent local library (otherwise known as Borders) I was flicking through some books and fond work by Klas Ernflo. What caught my eye at first was his simple graphics with some really great type. I checked out his homepage and found myself looking through all of his work and I don't think there was one thing I didn't like. I think it is his simplicity but also quirkiness. He is based in Barcelona, which I had no idea of until I checked out his site.
