Blog Post (a little late, a little content)

Daft Punk Coke!

Saw these a while ago, meant to post something about it.  I guess Tron 2: Tron Harder reinvigorated people's interest in the band, so Coke figured it'd be cool to make special edition bottles in commemoration of them?  I thought it was interesting just because Coke has such consistent branding (what, with the coke red and the swish and all), and I can't recall a time when they deviated so starkly from it.  Now that March has come and gone, I woulda hoped I'd have seen these in stores, but I'm not too bothered about it.

Still waiting on Justice Mountain Dew though.

Poster comps

Just the images.  No text yet. The movies are part of a Terrence Malick festival






This one's The Thin Red Line.  It's a war movie.




This is Days of Heaven.  It's about sharecroppers and Richard Gere. Locust make a cameo too.
















This is for Badlands.  It's about young lovers who go on a killing spree.  Martin Sheen combs his hair like James Dean.

Movie Poster Research







The first two links are a poster series by designer Olly Moss.  Link one has a bunch of posters he did for a recent event where movies were screened in the cities they were filmed (eg Detroit for Robocop and Philly for Rocky) and the second link are the poster designs he did that got him in the spotlight.  I've always liked these, but for breadth's sake, I'm posting other posters too.

This is a blog post about orange and blue

It’s becoming a rather noticeable trend in  key art, the orange and blue color scheme.  Not too surprising –it’s a good looking color combo, being complimentary and all– but once you notice it, it’s certainly interesting, if not a little cliché.
