John Nack on Adobe : Saturday Illustrations: From subways to space

July 04, 2009

Happy Fourth:
- Crackerpacks.com wraps an enormous set of fireworks packaging art in some eye-wateringly ghetto “vintage” Web design.
- Rosemarie Fiore creates drawings by containing and controlling firework explosions.
These Tokyo “subway manner posters”, designed by Bunpei Yorifuji, manage to inform & entertain without condescension. [Via]
Brushes & patterns:
- If you think Illustrator can do only crisp vectors, look again. Think Design has shared 15 paintstroke Illustrator paint brushes. I’ve taken them for a spin & found them quite nice.
- Handy when the moment arises: Susan Libertiny has created a free set of passport stamp & postmark Photoshop brushes. [Via]
- YouWorkForThem is selling sets of intricate line patterns of the sort that appear on currency.
Wipe your feet on this great, nerdy doormat. [Via]
Mischa McLachlan has created a slick 2001: A Space Odyssey icon set. [Via]

The subway posters… most are valid points… but some? Why does that creepy bespectacled chap get bothered by the lady putting on her makeup. Crotchy old buzzard.
