“The key when you’re putting across an idea is you have to understand the culture you’re dealing with first and foremost and put everything very much like the cultures used to and then put your idea, the essential elements of your idea out there so that it doesn’t get confused with things that might complicate the concept.”
Simple understated type and gorgeous photography make for some damn beautiful posters. New Zealand and Argentina are my favorites.
Norway just looks creepy.
My favorite part of this chart is that they call the 00’s the “Noughties”.

This just makes me smile, big.
An incredibly well converted 512k Mac. Seeing a floppy disk drive on OS X is just, well, weird.
Love this. The one of Robert Frost, Kennedy, Pablo Picaso are just incredible. Well, they’re all awesome.
Love. Old. Gyms. I’ve been wanting to do a whole series of photos of old gyms for some time now. I really just need to start doing it.
The next President of the United States.
Absolutely love this collection but when they start getting into the crazy molded heads, they start to lose something for me.
I love maps, and transmit maps are probably my favorite. And of transit maps, the London Underground is probably in my top 5. I haven’t found the time to watch this yet, but I’m looking forward to watching it when I finally do. From the 5 minutes I did watch, it looks fantastic.
A gorgeous collection of typewritter ribbon tins on Flickr. Great design inspiration here.
Happy Hangul Day! “Hangul’s characters are featural: their shapes are related to the sounds they symbolize, each representing a different position of the mouth and tongue.” I had no idea Korean was like this, but damn, that’s really cool.
