Absolutely amazing.








Misprinted Type

Really nice collage stuff with old style imagery and type and typeface available for download...







Tsunami Relief Poster Project

I have seen loads of these and though I should blog... I think it is amazing how they are all set out in a similar way. I guess it shows what we all see as a suitable way for charitable advertising and appealing for donations and help.
