Featured illustrator: Gianmarco Magnani

I find these illustrations by Gianmarco Magnani interesting. Somehow though these is a very strong resemblance to North Kingdom I must say; if must be the word monarchy.

Beyond that parallel, it must be said that this is good work. The treatment of type and color is harmonious.

Solar Beat

It starts from the birth of the cosmic travel. Whenever the planets reach the same line they perform an artefact of a sound; as such the collective contribution is on a musical level. Very nicely done SolarBeat.

Typographic showcases

Elegant graphic layouts by typographic adventurer Aron Jansco. He has design a typeface named Ogaki, of which applied in the second poster here. I find it inspiring to discover so much great poster design lately. Besides his balanced graphical layouts I think what make his work his is his feel to colors as well; going through his portfolio you see a great development. I think we can expect to see more from Aron.

International Year of Astronomy posters

This is another curious case of great visual work by a British designer with a background in applied mathematics. I read from Simon Page´s blog that he has made a fastpaced entry into the design world, and appears to come out of frustration with Microsoft : “I first got in to design only a couple of year ago in 2007 – my first designs stem from creating corporate presentations in Microsoft Powerpoint and realising that it didn’t really offer enough flexibility. From this I soon went on to use Illustrator and InDesign to create much more impressive presentations – which is part of my full time job today which I love to do.”

I found two minimal but evocative, balanced posters that striked me as delightful clean design.
