Poster of the Day

I'm feeling old school this week, so this week's Posters of the Day are brought to you by the extraordinary Polish poster designer Tadeusz Trepkowski.

Kompott

Loving these box systems created by Polish collective Kompott.

Opos Piko

Polish illustrator Opos Piko has a mysterious, ghostly style.

Balsam

I'm loving the work of Polish design firm Balsam Studio, especially the type in this book designed for the quarterly magazine Brulion.

Gabz

Polish designer/illustrator Grzegorz Domaradzki, aka Gabz, has his new portfolio site up and running, and it doesn't disappoint.

Jerzy Goliszewski

Warsaw artist Jerzy Goliszewski creates sculpture inspired by nature, recreating it with the simplest possible materials while still maintaining its complexity of form.

Want to See a Couple Hundred Great Posters?

I stumbled upon this great resource, a single page containing over 200 fantastic old movie posters from Poland, the Czech Republic and Cuba, as well as the U.S. I'm not exactly sure what it is, but apparently this page belongs to Robb and Jaime of agrayspace. Anyway, I'm glad they created it, so enjoy for yourselves!

Mysteries Abound!

Continuing the mystery of today's posts, I found the paintings of Pawel Susid online, but the only things I've been able to find about his/her work is this site, and the fact that they reside in Poland. Nonetheless, I love anything combining paint and type, and these paintings are fantastic. Keep up the good work, Pawel, wherever you are!

It's Poland Day at The Best Part!

It's completely unintentional, but all my posts for the day feature Polish design. I think I might even have some pierogi for dinner, just to round the day out the Polish way.

To begin this extravaganza of all things Poland, the Polish government's winner of the competition to design the Polish National Pavilion at the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai is this amazing building. Based on the designs of traditional Polish paper cuttings, architects wojciech kakowski, marcin mostafa and natalia paszkowska have created a design that plays with light and transparency in a very traditional yet modern way.
