Japan and the Art of Subway Notifications

August 20th, 2010 by Julie Hill

If I had been alive and in Tokyo in 1978, I would have had many a smile at their reminder posters. Images ranging from Manga to Toulouse-Lautrec remind you to be considerate of others and, most importantly, not to forget your umbrella. See them all at Pink Tentacle.


Inconsiderate train monsters


No smoking


Remember your umbrella!

Small Stakes Book

July 26th, 2010 by Julie Hill

Attn: Gig poster enthusiasts: SMALL STAKES BOOK!

Known for clean design and lovely, gentle metaphor, The Small Stakes seems to be a favorite among most of the people I talk to about gigposter design. Bonus points for creating posters for some of my very favorite bands.

Listening to a woman singing in French while working on a project for an adventure travel company has got me feeling footloose. Travel with me through your imagination Reading Rainbow-style, won’t you?

First Stop:
Explore these great United States of America, From Sea to Shining Sea with the Heads of State poster series:

Seattle and Phoenix

Miami and Philly

Next Stop:
Check out a huge collection of vintage luggage stickers:

Pining for some of these.

Final Destination:
Pick up a Robot Travel Poster (benefiting youth literary/writing programs) from Liberty Street Robot Supply and Repair:

Aaaaaah. I feel better, don’t you?
