Hi All, apologies for not sharing a FSF last week. So, to make up for our clumsiness we are offering free shipping on all our products in the store! That’s right, everything will be shipped for free if purchased in the next 24 hours.

This week we’re going to shift our focus over to a poster. Our very own beloved Patrick Corrigan has whipped up some nocturnal goodness to keep track of your Werewolf activities.

The first poster in a continuing series exploring lunar cycles. This poster highlights lunar cycles for 2010 and maps each cycle accordingly with a calendar and visual representation of that cycle.

I cannot stress the quality of this product. Not only has the design been carefully crafted, but it has been painstakingly printed with archival inks on a heavy cotton rag. Patrick wasn’t messing around on this one, and neither are we as we present it to you all. So, be one of thirty proud people to own this quality piece. TGIF.

A while back I stumbled upon the work of Sandy Karman. This young Indonesian designer is well on his way to becoming Indonesia’s first AGI member. Nice1.

The last issue of NewWork Magazine brought to my attention the work of Werner Jeker. We, as graphic designers, often times are confronted with an argument of “laziness”. This particularly comes when a designer seems to rely too heavily upon a photographer’s merits. However, I ask the critics “is a conductor of an orchestra lazy?” Werner Jeker is a true master of photographic image and cropping like his contemporary Bruno.

“He is my favorite and strongest counter example whenever I run into some narrow minded “expert” that tries to convince me that a particular poster is no good because the designer “just used a photograph” instead of drawing a picture himself.”

Swiss.

This is old news, but a recent find. The Chicago International Poster Biennial kicked off last year with an amazing show of international entries. It’s amazing how this flew under the radar seeing that this country needs a whole lot more exposure to the rich world of posters. The winning posters are a bit dubious, but I’m super excited for next year’s show. Enjoy Friday.
