What type are you?

Posted By Alupa Creative
02.23.2010

Pentagram.com has released a handy instrument that can tell you which type of “Type” category that you fall into. Take the test here.

Through a series of questions, posed by a pseudo-psychiatric video moderator, you can determine if you are the happy go-lucky type, or the down to earth pragmatic type. Think of this as a simplified Myers-Briggs Type Indicator for all of those designers and typophiles out there.

It’s that time of the year… The time of year for starting paragraphs with the phrase “it’s that time of the year.”

…And because of this, Pantone has released the must-have color for 2010: Turquoise. Booyah.

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

New Bolle Shirt

Every year I do a shirt for Bolle to sell in their booth at the US Open. This year’s shirt is above.

Apparel has always been an important part of my creative framework. I enjoy the simplicity of the design limitations, the application of functional creativity and the chance to get down to some serious graphics work. A shirt’s image is more than just a straightforward graphic, it’s a chance to tie multiple layers of meaning into a single work.

Civil Defense Gallery

Ever wondered what to do in the event of an air strike on the US? In 1955? So did we.

We found this little gem at our friendly neighborhood resource for all things slightly pre-Apocalyptic, the antique mall. This, along with a dozen other equally disturbing (but amazingly informational) pamphlets were only a dollar a piece. You can’t find entertainment that good any more, we checked it out.

You can view the new gallery here.

I can Read movie series

Every now and again I stumble across something that makes me wish I had designed it. Something simply done, with a lot of style and clever use of photoshop. This is one of those times.

Presented clearly, these book covers are based on popular movies with a 60’s dime store literature thematic twist. Use of repetition, color and layouts are top notch, not to mention excellent choice in movies represented. Spacesick has some other great work on his portfolio site, but the full array of the “I Can Read Movie Series” can be seen on his Flickr account.

Rabid fans of the Coen Brother’s cult classic, The Big Lebowski have been gathering all over the US for years now, at a music and cinema festival simply known as “Lebowskifest.”
