A beautiful self-initiated series of posters for popular TV shows by designer Albert Exergian. Described as a “A HUMOROUS VIEW ON TV CULTURE”, these posters are less humorous and more just stunning in their simplistic, boiled down view of each show. If you think that they would make great posters, you are in luck! They are now for sale over at Blanka.
All this talk of the new year. Obama’s second year in office. The continuing “war on terror.” The (hopefully) upward-turning economy. New music releases. The Oscars. So much comes with the new year. So let’s pause for a second and talk about something truly important for this new year.
Color.
I’m sure most of you never think about what kind of color the year will be. And you know what, that’s ok. You don’t have to. The fabulous people at Pantone, “an X-Rite company and the global authority on color and provider of professional color standards for the design industries” (phew that was a mouth full!) have come up with the color of 2010 for us. In fact they have been doing this for a few years now.
For 2010, Pantone has named Turquoise as the color of the year. Turquoise? Not some fancy name like Sea breeze or Ocean spray? Ah well, at least we all know what the color Turquoise is by name. So why Turquoise? According to Pantone:
“Combining the serene qualities of blue and the invigorating aspects of green, Turquoise inspires thoughts of soothing, tropical waters and a comforting escape from the everyday troubles of the world, while at the same time restoring our sense of wellbeing.”
Well I wouldn’t have thought Turquoise when thinking about this coming year, but when they put it like that, it sounds pretty spot on. 2009 was pretty rough for all of us and a sense of wellbeing and feeling of escape from the everyday troubles would be great right about now. So I’m on board with this color for 2010. Now, will I be using it willy nilly in my design work? Probably not. It’s not a color to be thrown around lightly. But perhaps a little accent here or there would be nice. What does everyone else think about this color choice? Put your thoughts in the comments below.
Without a doubt, one of my favorite blogs out there is The Hype Machine. Unfortunately, it’s not always easy to find time in the day to visit every blog on your list — never mind mining one with such deep, many-posts-an-hour content.
Another decade has come and gone, leaving a slew of “Best/Worst of the Decade” lists in its wake (a few are, um, listed below) along with all the arguments they inspire. One interesting side of this decade in review is that it’s our first to be completely covered (and probably largely defined) by the hyper-media that is the internet. Not only have we had a full ten years of constantly updated news and entertainment as well as goods and services at our fingertips, but the advent of a generation whose collective and individual identities are documented, if not cultivated, online.
