Cinematics – An Illustrated Collection of Classic Films and Characters
Posted on May 11, 2014 at 12:11 pm
As an experimental personal project, Brazilian graphic designer Pier Paolo has recently created what he calls ‘a timeline of classic films and characters’ entitled Cinematics. Designed in his own unique style, Cinematics is an illustrated collection of characters (and short animated movie) from some of those movie moments we all fondly remember. You will find such diverse characters as Charlie Chaplin, the Bride from Kill Bill, Darth Vader & Luke, Don Lockwood from Singin’ in the Rain, Carl from Up, Freddy & Jason, and many more.
Scroll down for the movie.

The Client is Always Right Poster Series
Posted on May 1, 2014 at 12:11 pm
No matter what type of business you are in, hearing the words ‘the client is always right’ will make you cringe. In design, those words will not only make you cringe, they can also make you feel devastated at the prospect of a ruined project. Sometimes though, they can be really funny.
With that in mind, Jonathan Quintin, founder and creative director at STUDIOJQ, has created a funny series of posters that feature some of the more ‘interesting’ things he has been asked by his clients. If you have heard things like ‘I want you to use a better font, how about Comic Sans?’, or ‘we don’t have much of a budget, but there will be plenty of work coming your way’, then we are sure you will love these posters…
The Client is Always Right Posters
We don’t have much budget…
I don’t like it…
I want you to use a better font…
On the phone…
I am just calling…
Can’t you just…
I am just sending you the high res logo…
We don’t have much budget…
Can’t you just…
Client is Always Right… by Jonathan Quintin
