Aural Impact Show Flyer for DNB Radio

Came across this somewhere on the internet for a DNB Radio show.

Free Moral Agents Show Flyer by Pedro Martinez

We haven't posted one of those random-show-flyers-we-come-across-that-are-actually-cool in a long while, but here's a pretty nicely done one for the Free Moral Agents playing at The Blue Cafe in Long Beach.  While some people might get all nit picky over certain details in this flyer, I think it works as what it is: disposable art that is used to get attention and produced in a quick and efficient manner.

Mad Men Season 4 Premiere Poster + The Graphic Art of Mad Men

Here's the poster that was released to promote the new season of Mad Men on July 25 on AMC.
via Entertainment Weekly

The Season Three poster is a bit more dramatic and intense, although the water flooding the office is very metaphorical and unexpected, I don't know how I feel about how well its aesthetic reflects the clean, clear and straightforward style of the show.

But nonetheless, Mad Men Season Three's poster is well done.  You can watch this "Making of" video on the Season 3 poster below to see the whole process of how it was produced:

For additional reference, here is the Season 2 Premiere poster for Mad Men.

The DVD cover art is really clean too.  Season 3 and Season 2 are really well executed:

Now for some fan art:

Check out these Mad Men posters by Christina Perry.  Available as a Giclee print, more details at her website here.

Apparently each of the main characters in Mad Men have not only a unique suit, but also unique pocket squares.  I was never aware of that when watching the show, but Christina Perry definitely has a great eye for detail.  Roger Sterling's pocket square definitely suits his vibrant energy, while Don Draper's pocket square is definitely much more subtle, simple and clean-cut.

There's a lot of Mad Men fan art out there, but I really like this one by Stanley Chow.  He does a bunch of great illustrations in general, you can check them out on his website here.

And because Flyer Goodness is a flyer and poster art blog, don't think we copped out completely with this post.  I wouldn't consider this RJD2 gig poster by Mark Malazarte a parody, but it definitely tilts its hat at the Mad Men opening title sequence.  See the original post here.

Gulf Charity Poster by The Heads of State

The Heads of State designed this poster available for $40 on their website:

"As oil continues to leak in the Gulf of Mexico and the powers that be continue to seem, well, powerless, we all wait impatiently wishing we could do something—anything—to lend a hand.

We know this poster won't save the world, but we're hoping, with your help, it can make a small impact on the growing devastation.

We're donating half of the sale price of each Oil Drop poster sold (that's $20 per poster) to Oceana, the largest organization solely focused on protecting the world's oceans. Oceana has been awarded the exceptional rating of 4 stars by Charity Navigator, which means you can feel good knowing your money is having a direct impact."

Hard Summer 2010, Hard LA and Hard NYC flyers

Flyer for the 2010 HARD Summer music festival in Los Angeles

Flyer for the recent HARD NYC

Poster for the HARD LA event with MIA

Not sure who the artist is for all the HARD events, but their posters and flyers have become more polished in their designs lately.  The 3d effect in the first one for HARD Summer is enough to stand out, but isn't too much.  The MIA poster above is unusually clean for something to come out of HARD, and you can tell that HARD NYC's poster this year is getting a little bit better than last year's.  Also check out HARD Haunted Mansion's flyer from last year.

Ross Berens

Graphic design on the internet seems to have quite a thing for astronomy lately, and the poster designs of Ross Berens proves just how science is not only cool again, but can look pretty damn good too.

Together, Lorenzo Mason and Marco Camparado form Tankboys, a powerhouse for simply attractive designs in Venice, Italy.  Their posters and flyers tend to have clean and cool typography, keeping a really minimal style but with a powerful combination of lettering and colors popping your eyes out.

Kirsty Hole

 

 

 

 

Hailing from Brighton, Kirsy Hole is another talented art school student with a penchant for good design.  The last four pieces are a clever graphical representation of Vivaldi's Four Seasons.

Livia Foldes

Some very crisp, very clean posters designed by Livia Foldes. Her eye for layout and typography is amazing, and is able to say so much, so interestingly, with so little.

EDIT: Livia Foldes worked with the MINE team in San Francisco to turn out the beauftiful Mill Valley Film Festival poster below.

Vasco Pais - Splash White Party

Another neat flyer by Vasco Pais. Design with the appeal of simplicity.
