WWF Legends

I've been doing a terrible job at updating (obviously). But I'm trying to be better! I was just having a discussion about how obsessed I use to be with wrestling and came across these awesome WWF Legends minimalist posters. I seriously need to take up watching wrestling again. These bring back some great memories. Enjoy! And snap into a slim jim!

Hulk Hogan (Duh!)

Andre the Giant

The Macho Man Randy Savage

Ravishing Rick Rude

Minimalist Marvel Posters

So as an ubber all things Marvel geek, this made me completely giddy! (Especially after seeing the Avengers and Spiderman trailers at Hunger Games!)  I can appreciate good minimal art when I can relate. It was fun trying to guess what it was without reading it. Here's a couple of my favorites. Enjoy Marvel Maniacs.

Packaging

I have a confession.... I have a secret love for packaging. I sometimes buy stuff because of the packaging. I critique a menu design before I even realize I haven't figured out what to order. What can I say...it's the design snob in me. The picture above for the VH1 Greatest Hip Hop Artist is so GENIUS. I love stuff like that.

Art Works

So this is super neat. I think all artisit need to participate!

Local Inspiration - Design For Good

Great morning inspiration. And it's local for once, which was even more inspiring. People using their design and creativity powers for good. So here's to you Mr. Hawkins. You rock:

On my way back from my usual trek to the kitchen every morning for a double fisted cup of coffee and a cup of water, I saw on the table a copy for the new RSVP Magazine. The cover caught my eye because it was so clean and...fresh. Yeah, fresh.

Anyway, I stopped and started flipping through it and came across The List, a list of about 10 young professionals they feature each issue, and of course I saw the word Graphic Designer. Hooked from then on.

Featured was Winfred Hawkins, a Junior Graphic Designer at my old stomping grounds Auburn University Montgomery. Point one scored.

He uses his art for the power of good. Outside of the Rosa Parks Musuem are 10 drawings that he did starting in high school. 2 more points to you.

Plays bass for the local Montgomery band Hellakoptka of Love. 3 more points.

And finally, he is a contributor to Helicity, a local non-profit organization that is dedicated to creating postive change in Montgomery. 10 points to Gryffindor.

Read the write up in RSVP magazine here.

Anyway, it's always nice to see something about how Graphic Designers are making their impact. Are you using your powers for good? I know I'm going to strive to. =)
