From one of my favorite design agency, – I gotta work there someday – Pentagram. Celebrating their 40th anniversary with 40 posters:

Pentagram was founded 40 years ago today, on June 12, 1972, in London by the designers Alan Fletcher, Colin Forbes, Theo Crosby, Kenneth Grange and Mervyn Kurlansky. The company was formed when Pentagram’s predecessor, Crosby Fletcher Forbes, added two new partners, Grange and Kurlansky, expanding the multi-disciplinary partnership to five.

For the anniversary the 19 current Pentagram partners, under the creative direction of Harry Pearce, have designed a series of posters for the 40 years since Pentagram’s birth. Each partner created posters for two or three different years, and the only parameters for the series were the use of black, white and red.

Great source of inspiration.

Phantom City Creative know how to put together a good movie poster.

No argument there.

Twin French posters for Amour or Love, an upcoming film directed by Michael Haneke. The couple’s expressions were perfect. Looking forward to see this one because of this poster, yeah it’s a dumb reason, I know, but it just won the Palm d’Or.

Designers share wisdom with first-year students in poster series. I love all of them. Great idea, great execution, also a viable business too.

Unpacking the secrets of happiness and creativity one poster at a time.

i’ve been thinking of doing this for a while now. after i saw this floating around, i wanted to make my own version to hang on my wall. and knowing me, well, i had to make it all ~shnazzy~ so i made this 11x17 poster. i made it so you can download yourself one too, if you like. it’s a nice PDF file so you can take that to Kinko’s and blow it up and hang it nicely in your room or whateva.

It’s ok.

I’m weak for design process story like this, it’s like porn.
