In May 1st 2009 the "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" movie will be hitting movie theaters everywhere. Wolverine is for sure one of the most bad ass characters out there, and yep, he deserves his own post. So I've made a selection of cool Wolverine images and at the end of the post there is a sweet trailer from the movie. It totally rocks. I hope you all enjoy this! Cheers!

Today, the depthCORE.com Collective are delighted to release our 35th exhibition, an entirely black & white body of work entitled 'NOIR'. Consisting of over one hundred songs, photographs, illustrations and animations, 'NOIR' is a deep and immersive experience that is the result of an enthusiastic and considered response to an evocative theme from new and old artists alike. The months behind the scene spent creating the work that comprises this Chapter were some of the most artistically charged in our six year history; it is no stretch to say that this was an immensely enjoyable release to create. We consider this Chapter to be one of our better efforts, and (as always) hope you enjoy viewing it as much as we did producing it.

Absolut beauty

Source blog.snsdesigner »

I’ve always had a soft spot for Absolut ads. So simple and yet positively genius. According to Wikipedia, it’s the longest running ad campaign, ever. Not sure of the validity of this claim, but it’s certainly been a very long time. Based on the shape of the bottle, which is distinct among other vodkas, unlimited variations of the ad have been made. Over 1500, according to Wikipedia! I compiled some ads here to showcase the fact that each ad is completely unique, while maintaining the brand and making a statement. There is definitely something to learn here, this ad concept was first started around 1980, and it’s still running! Enjoy..

As far as insipiration goes, the work of James Rheem Davis is that rare breed of designer that adeptly captures the very essence of beauty in the dark and macabre. Flawlessly conveying the desired message with near nightmarish representations of a twisted take on the world around. With morbid and melancholy tones to match the images, Davis’ posters have a haunting effect on the viewer.

Some artists' work has an aura about it, that creates a tone which radiates from the piece and infects the environment around it. There are not many artists with a voice this vibrant and alive, but Chris Shaw is one of them, and a concert poster list would not be complete without giving this titan of artistic style and complex composition a nod.

60 Concert Posters From Ten Amazing Artists

Web Tips » Inspiration » September 28, 2008
Source smashingmagazine »

When scouring the design field, searching for stand-out artistic expression and fluid composition, one area that should always catch the eye, is poster design. Moreover, concert poster design, which has produced some truly revolutionary artists and works for generations now, should be paid particular attention to. Fluidity of design is especially key in poster layouts, as there is a finite space, and numerous points to capture and pass along within these confines. The designer must encapsulate not only the band’s attitude and tone with the work, but also impart the feel of the album or tour that the poster is announcing. And speaking of announcements, the posters must seamlessly incorporate the typography that tells the reader the names, dates, and places of import. All the while maintaining the impact of the piece, and not overworking or overfilling the area and detracting from it’s overall arrangement. So many shining examples of this exist in the art community, and in this episode of Monday Inspiration we present 60 inspiring concert poster designs from 10 amazing artists. The links at the bottom will take you to sites dedicated to showcasing other wonderful works from the concert poster genre.

40 most beautiful and inspirational website designs of 2008

Web Tips » Inspiration » September 28, 2008
Source crazyleafdesign »

2008 has brought some big changes in the design trends. One of the major ones was the end of the so called “glossy revolution“, the wrongful design interpretation of the web 2.0 current. You know what I am talking about : the glossy, vivid and colorful logos and website designs, the major usage of reflections and two tone colors. This style is used less and less, and some new design trends are starting to emerge (the vintage style seems to be catching on) The sites below are the most representative designs, collected by us for our CSS and Flash Web Gallery. Apart from the showcase we added a little description of each website so you can get an idea what’s it about.
