So Much Pileup


Mike Davis, a designer and DJ from Minneapolis has started a great new blog So Much Pileup, that showcases graphic design and illustration from the 1960s through the early 80s. Lots of visual inspiration for all you designers I strongly suggest you check it out,

Mike’s motivation for creating a catalogue of vintage design:

Any designer’s studio or home is filled with books, stickers, posters, postcards, and other pieces of history. I started this blog to share some of the work from my collection that’s inspired me as a designer, primarily from the late 1960s through the early 1980s. I’ll be posting logos, postage stamps, motion graphics, packaging and promotional design from the time I consider to be the golden era of graphic design, just before computers took over and anyone with a copy of Photoshop and 10 fonts started calling themselves designers.

Favela Chic


This really got my visual taste buds going, French photographer and street artist JR has produced another inspiring public art project in Rio. Known for his massive scale black and white portraits, JR recently covered a hill side shanty town with his trademark imagery. The photos make the houses almost seem alive with the intricate emotional details of his subject’s faces popping out. This latest project is part of a series called “Women Are Heros”.

Fashion in the Mirror: Self-Reflection in Fashion Photography


This piece is currently on view in the Fashion in the Mirror: Self-Reflection in Fashion Photography exhibition at the Photographer's Gallery in London.

William Klein (born 1928) is an American fashion photographer and filmmaker based in France.

Once considered photography's bad boy, Klein is one of the formative voices in street and fashion photography. His work has been called chaotic, disorganized, threatening and abrasive, as well as explosive, evocative and playful.
