Inspired Infographic

I'm working on a new infographic and I cam across one from Portugal designer Rodrigo Machado. I love his interpretation of the movie Adaptation. I just watched this show a few days ago and I could see how an infographic would work perfectly for depicting the storyline and character personalities.
Rodrigo's infographic is beautifully executed and very thought out...check out those notes!

Paris vs. New York

These are fun illustrations by Vahram Muratyan. He's comparing the two cities cultural differnces in a series of posters. Clever and cute! You can see more of the posters here.

New Portfolio builder by KROP

KROP is now offering a free hosted portfolio and resume builder. "Designed for creatives with impossibly high standards, and built to the specification of creative recruiters at companies that already use Krop to find talent. (including Apple, Gucci, Nike, Mtv, etc.)"

I like the simple design platform. As I sometimes teach a design portfolio class at Portland State,  this is something I will definitely share. Unless your trying to highlight your web building skills this is a nice alternative that showcases your work nicely.

Paula Scher designs new environmental graphics

New at Pentagram

With a little paint and some bold typography, a school designed to change the life of its students has undergone a transformation of its own. For the Achievement First Endeavor Middle School, a charter school for grades 5 through 8 in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, Paula Scher has created a program of environmental graphics that help the school interiors become a vibrant space for learning. The project was completed in collaboration with Rogers Marvel Architects, who designed the school as a refurbishment and expansion of an existing building.

I love the bold, fresh colors and strong friendly typography.
