John Nack on Adobe : Vintage Sunday

September 14, 2008

"Dyna Moe" has produced the excellent series Mad Men illustrated. (Yes, I resisted watching that show for a long time, then gave up. You should, too.) Love Peggy, Sal, and Joan, but Don looks too generic & happy. Useful bonus: Sally Draper’s Cocktail Cheat Sheet. [Via]
Veerle rounds up numerous classic movie title sequences. The premium-blend mentholated Thank You For Smoking would fit right in on Mad Men.
Gene Gable’s posted a great collection of letterheads.
Motortype: Adam Polselli rounds up a set of lovely vintage car logos.

Re: Mad Men – love that opening b&w graphic with the white collar and cuff, black jacket/hair. Thanks for the link – hadn’t bothered to look around. Are you still with ‘Breaking Bad’? :-)

When seeing that list of excellent title sequences, I thought: what about “Sphere?” The second commenter there had the same thought, here’s a low-res: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttauOsR1-us
[I remember Kyle Cooper showing that piece during a lecture I saw 10 years ago. The great titles made me want to see the movie--a terrible, terrible mistake. ;-) --J.]
