A promotional poster for a contemporary film festival hosted at Cinematheque-Passion, a cultural venue in Macau dedicated to the appreciation of film culture, the minimalistic yet playful design highlights a series of eye-catching illustrations symbolizing the focus on cinematic vision and storytelling.
This piece stuns viewers with an eye-warping sense of movement and delight. It does a lot with a little—a monochrome format and a repetitive pattern drives forward an exciting illusion.
The elegant layout of this piece, juxtaposed with bold lemon yellow type, immediately caught our eye. Made to commemorate the “Everyone is a master!” exhibition at Tokyo’s Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum, featuring a select 75 works from the Phillips Collection by Gauguin, Picasso, and more.
This stencil reminds us of childhood days spent doodling with gel pens and dreaming of the next time we’d get to go to the Japanese stationery store. The labels under each stencil are utilitarian and make us love the Hobonichi Techo notebook even more.
Two curiously shaped characters make up the entirety of this poster by Tokyo-based graphic design studio Ayond. It’s a simple composition but from the bulbous shapes to the strikingly vacant expressions, the characters’ oddly humorous features keep the eyes engaged.
