Movie and television posters by Matt Needle
Taking a sort of ‘infographically simple, abstract design’ medley approach to designing prints, Matt Needle takes the foundational elements of storylines to some of the best shows and movies and gives them the equivalent of a Saul Bass-esque makeover.
Abstract but logical at the same time, this Welsh graphic designer and illustrator ingeniously integrates vectors, photography and killer typographical screen credits to make hot visual representations of the essence of what’s on screen.

Aqueous Fluoreau photo series by Mark Mawson
If Puff the Magic Dragon actually existed, I’m sure his lair would be filled with hypercoloured fumes like these. Inspired by graffiti, vibrant colours, and watching milk being poured into coffee, British photographer Mark Mawson has created a punky mystical ambience where fluid formations of colour have their own breath of life. His Aqueous Fluoreau series was shot in the South of France using coloured paints, a water tank and strobe lighting.
Just when you thought a particular social network couldn’t dominate your life any further than it already has, think again. It’s now set to invade more than just your headspace as it moves from pixels to reality. Interior geek chic just went 2.0 with the invention of the Facebook Shower Curtain. While it’s definitely not Martha Stewart endorsed, we’re looking forward to a possible full range of soft furnishings to boot. Perhaps a Foursquare bedspread announcing that we’re the new Mayor of Nookieville? The Facebook Shower curtain is available from February.

History is the story of the winners, and western dominated culture recounts few triumphs from the east. Mongol is an effort to correct this balance, and the eastern influence is evident in much more than just the storyline. It is more like a fairy tale or legend handed down through generations, than based on fact, with mythical elements playing a major part, and the character’s motivations remaining simple. Read more
