Best Vector Graphics Ever, and more
- Linkinn.com amasses a collection of the "Best Vector Graphics Ever." I'd call it more of a mixed bag, and some of the images sometimes don't load; even so, it's worth a visit.
- Mailer for Mayor: Michael Frumin posts the poster. Hey, let's hear it for that West Side Monorail! (See also the Capitol-shaped airplane flying in Federal cash.) [Via]
- If political posters are your bag (tube?), see also this collection of posters from the Spanish Civil War, as well as Gene Gable's collection of Labor Day imagery. [Via]
- On another politically-themed note, The New Republic sticks it to the new US passport design. "The cover may say United States, but the design taste is pure red states."
- I love this vintage US Navy instructional artwork. [Via]
- GelaSkins offers cool stick-on designs for laptops, phones, and more. [Via Zorana Gee, who's rocking Nanami Cowdroy's Kintoto Blot on her MacBook.]
- Wake up to whimsy: Susie Ghahremani makes "tiny matchbox-size paintings of little forest creatures."
Comments
Apparently Michael Currie Schaffer in The New Republic considers it red-state to be proud of the U.S. The implicit corollary is that blue-staters believe the opposite. That's simply a slander. One has to ask: why is The New Republic questioning the blue staters' patriotism?
[They're not. They're questioning the flag-wrapped, screaming-eagle kind of imagery that Stephen Colbert satirizes (most especially through his opening montage). This country is seen by many around the world as tasteless, brazen, and given to excess. I think TNR is asking whether those are impressions we want to validate through rah-rah graphic design. --J.]
Love the GelaSkins, anyone seen them somewhere in a store? Would like to see them live.
[I'll take you by Z's office on Monday to see them. :-) --J.]
