I was looking some Rand's book on a Brazilian bookstore site (Saraiva) and saw this artwork (04/23 is the world book day). I have seen this kind of art everywhere for the last years. It is a pretty nice idea of mixing words and shapes to create an image, in this case a world map. As we can see, the idea is using different writers' name for each country and shape it. 

When I saw this advertisement I immediately thought about the poster by Greg Baeuchamp, who made the United States heart map and because that I assume this is a contemporary design.  

Design in food

This I found on internet on one of this popup that bothered us. These packings were made by a Russian agency. I would say here we see a contemporary style of making design. We see a clean background, lack of details and overall a simple design. I am pretty sure that the ideia here is promote the product, in this case pasta, by using creativity in showing the different women's hair styles. It funny how they had the ideia of using the paste shapes to make and show the different kind of hairs. And I assume it was a great idea to sell because when people see that, the first thing is have some fun...and graphic design is also fun!

Poster for a concert

I saw this on a rock page in my facebook page. This is a poster to promote a concert in São Paulo city. This concert show from a North American band happened on the last month. We can see that the concept of this poster was influenced by psychedelic era. The font used on the name of the band is a clear reference to psychedelic style. The chosen colors and the imanges overlapping each other is also a psychedelic philosophy, and although the band be relatively recent (2007) its music style has a lot influence from music made in 60' and 70'. A very nice poster bringing back a past era on graphic design and showing that we still can make a new design based on the past.
