Hey y’all! Have been on a bit of a hiatus from blogging due to work commitments BUT, if you’ve been following me on Twitter then you’ll know I’ve been raving about SXSW 2011 for the past week or two (lol). I ran into this video on YouTube, it’s a film trailer/bumper for a movie called “Mario” – it’s about everyone’s favourite Koopa-stomping plumber and his bid to save his girlfriend Peach. The cool thing about it is how the video game’s plot has been juxtaposed in the real world in this film. I think it ROCKS and if Joe Nicolosi goes ahead with it, I’ll be sure to watch it! Check out the rest of Nicolosi’s film bumpers here.

Gotta love CopyCat (in the Barbican Centre right beside Cannonball Cafe); their sense of humour rocks! I wonder if the designer who made THIS flyer could’ve benefited from this advice…

Ran into this great post online from Fastcodesign about Vinh Pho’s AutoZone packaging. Normally, keeping your car clean, maintaining it and doing engine work is associated with some amount of dirt and general ick. For me, as a woman – that’s actually okay, because I love cars. But, for some, they don’t find anything remotely appealing about cars or anything associated with them. Enter Vinh Pho!

Take a minute and just soak it all in. I ran into this post on Design Magazine with a collection of some of the most beautiful portraits composed using typography. This portrait of Reggae King, Bob Marley, “My Redemption Song” was created by Jonas Fleuraime. I’m clearly partial to it because of the portrait’s subject – but even more so because of the life, energy and epicness captured. He writes, of the portrait, Probably the most famous singer who ever lived. Bob Marley is known for his easygoing attitude and amazing musical ability. Marley preached love, peace, and the Rastafarian way. Without Marley’s influence an entire genre of music would never have gained the mass love that it now has.
