Space Shuttle poster / NASA Space Facts
So I saw the new JJ Abrams movie Super 8 last night. It was good fun overall.
But the most exciting part for me was the awesome Space Shuttle poster on Joe’s bedroom wall. I would love to own this! There’s a pretty good high-res scan on the Super 8 Tumblr which will have to do for now.
Oh yeah, one criticism. Nerd alert! The movie is set in 1979, but the poster clearly dates from after this, as it describes Columbia’s first mission in 1981.
Y’know, just saying.
Process Journal limited poster / Manual, 2010
Just discovered this achingly beautiful print by Tom Crabtree of SF-based Manual. Produced to accompany edition 3 of Process Journal, in response to the theme of ‘finding inspiration’. Edition of 100.
Lovely high-res images over at September Industry.
Flight of the Conchords tour poster / The Small Stakes, 2010
Another exquisite poster from Jason Munn AKA The Small Stakes. How he can capture so much personality in those two birds, with such minimal detail, truly shows a master of his craft.
There’s a good interview with Jason on Grain Edit.

Poster design / Anton Stankowski, 1957
Beautiful work by German designer Anton Stankowski. Born in 1906, Stankowski worked in Switzerland & Germany either side of WWII. He died in 1998, after receiving many honours for his remarkable body of work.
I’m surprised that his work is relatively unknown in the UK, considering the current renaissance of many of his colleagues such as Max Bill and Richard P Lohse. I’d never heard of him before. Thankfully there’s a good selection of his work to browse through here.
Another great discovery from ISO50.

Jump Studios promotional print / 2010
Seeing as I’m posting most of my design inspiration up on the Just Us blog these days, I thought I should update with some more of my own work on my personal blog. This is a little promotional piece I produced for Jump Studios (where I work), to showcase past projects, our clients & our design ethos.
Read more & see photos after the gap.

Tube poster for xx by The xx / 2010
That lovely identity work from Hunt the other day reminded me that I must post an image of the tube posters for the xx. Such a brilliantly bold piece of design, love it.

Wes Anderson Film Festival / Alex Cornell, 2009
Now that’s what I’m talking about! Glorious, glorious Futura, back where it belongs – advertising a (fictional) Wes Anderson Film Festival. Great work from American designer Alex Cornell. God I wish that festival were real…
