Usually, when designing something, you’re faced with a whole load of constraints and limitations. But it’s not always the case when you’re designing a gig poster – those constraints are often lifted and you’re allowed to be much more creative and expressive with your art.
“We Are Not Time Travellers” Retro Posters
by Callum Chapman on November 21, 2011 in Inspiration
I stumbled upon this wonderful set of poster designs by Alex Varanese today, and I just had to share them in case you haven’t seen them before! The idea behind the series of posters was in response to a question: “What would you do if you could travel back in time?”. The designers response was recreate all the modern technology we have now in 2011, but restyle it so it fit in with technology style back in the 70′s. I hope you enjoy looking at these as much as I did!
Awesome Snowboard Design Inspiration
by David Abling on November 21, 2011 in Inspiration
As a former avid snowboarder, I used to love tearing up the mountains all over the West Coast when I lived in Seattle. I’d take my K2 Fat Bob and travel all the way from Whistler, British Columbia down to the beautiful mountains in California and Utah just for the thrill of grinding powder. Now that I live in the south, fat chance that I get to snowboard at all, let alone see great powder to board on. If you’ve never been snowboarding or skiing before, I definitely recommend it, get learning how to ski now, you won’t regret it. There’s no better way to get away from the computer screen!

Nature Inspired iPhone & iPad App Icons
by Callum Chapman on March 28, 2011 in Design Process, Inspiration
I’ve recently landed a project for a user interface design of an iPhone application. I can’t say too much about it at the moment, but have started the project off with some research on some nature inspired iPhone/iPad icons.
Using one of my favourite sites, Dribbble, I found the following icons. One or two of them aren’t actually icons, but are still serving as some awesome inspiration. Enjoy!
