Inspirational Poster Design

Written by Peck Flamenco

I have been looking at a lot of poster design recently. I would like to share some of my favourite ones, that I have come across. They are not in any order of preference. I like them all for different reasons.

I love the color pallet of this poster. The way that the sky blends from light to dark. I like that it is a vector poster as I have a "thing" for vector. I also really like the position of the type. It's small but effective.

This poster speaks for itself. I love that the type is made out of what it is saying. I like how the "The" is not complete, since the birds that make it up, are flying away. It's such a cool concept. I also like the way the birds stand out from the red background.

I like the combination of minimal type, shapes and photo. It's simple but it grabs a lot of attention. Well at least it grabbed mine!

This poster is cool. I love the blue combined with the red lips. It's just amazing. I love the use of the real tongues, lips and teeth. I love how the page is ripped to see the type behind. I think this has to be one the best poster I have ever seen. It's a great inspiration.

It's all about PINTEREST!!!

Written by Briana Williams

Lately, we have been using a site called Pinterest to use as a virtual mood board between us. Pinterest lets you organize and share all the amazing things you find on the web and ʻPINʼ them for use at another time. People create boards to plan their weddings, decorate their homes, and like us create boards of inspiration for the projects we are currently working on.

One of the great things about Pinterest is you can browse boards created by other people and search friends from other social networks like Facebook and Twitter. Its a fun way to discover new things and get inspiration from people who share similar interests to you.
Pinterest also makes it really easy when browsing other boards, sorting out 33 different categories to search from! Which makes it really quick and simple to search exactly what you are looking for. People are generally Pinning every day, so there is always great new things to check out. I try and make it a daily habit to spend at least 20 minutes a day searching Pinterest for new ideas and inspiration. I am always finding great new things to Pin. If you get a chance you should follow the link and see what all the hype is about!!! Happy Pinning.
