“Brandversations” is an interesting project by Romania-based graphic designer Stefan Asafti. He switched the logos and slogans of the brands amongst themselves, ironically representing their rivalry.

“It is surprising how logos can influence other logos. The truth is that each pair of rivals has something in common, that something which has helped them to build one identity upon the other, this way becoming the biggest brands.” - Stefan Asafti

“What happens when you take a classic movie and remove just one letter? The results turn out to be very entertaining and the perfect subject for some great movie poster remixes. Cape Fear gets a primitive reworking, Jurassic Park goes biblical and Dawn of the Dead goes absolutely fatherly… and all it takes is one missing letter.

A project from the excellent and growing Tumblr blog, ReMovies, each poster features a monochromatic color theme, textured background and a new catch phrase which plays on the clever graphics based on the remixed name of the movie.”

These are all so funny. Perhaps my favourite set of posters I’ve posted so far.

What’s your Pantone Skin colour? Humanae is a very lovely art work by Angelica Dass, who matches people with their pantone colour.

Loving photographer David Eger’s “Cloned Photos” project, with historical photographs, movie posters, and imagery recreated using Clone Troopers and other Star Wars figures. While this could be a fantastic mundane Monday cure, brilliant pop culture creations of this sort are welcome any day.

John Jay is a designer.

John Jay is an art director.

John Jay is a restaurateur.

John Jay is teacher, and a Portlander, and a Rolodex of artists, photographers and illustrators.

He doesn’t have time to get comfortable.

He is constantly inspired.

He is still trying to figure out what he wants to do when he grows up.

And he dresses like a goddamn pirate sea captain.

In short, John Jay is a creative evil genius (the good kind) and a total badass.

He invited 12 over today to introduce himself, feed us lunch, and to show us some of the amazing stuff Studio J is working on. It was a perfectly sunny day to be in his workspace, which is half windows, and looks out over Chinatown. It’s filled with art and knickknacks and keepsakes along with the evidence of the various projects he has in the works. We saw soap and blueprints, a strange model airplane and art from his friend Shepherd Fairey.

Before John shared with us a presentation that catalogued some of his best work from over the years, he dropped on us a bowling ball of wisdom that went a little something like this “you have to get good at something before you can do everything”. In other words: be amazing at one thing, it will give you the freedom to try new things and once you start trying new things, DO NOT FUCKING STOP.

Thanks John. It was an inspiring afternoon.

Today was a good day.
