Hu2 is a London-based company comprised of four crazy dudes (and one dudette!). They have some simply awesome ideas when it comes to creative uses of vinyl. Flicking through their online catalogue, I’m reminded of some of Banksy’s pieces, which I really dig!

Vinyl wall decals are often overlooked but they’re a really simple and creative solution to playing up a boring wall. Why not try trading in the paint and wallpaper and get your hand on some of these fun decals. They can be used on any smooth flat surface and are completely removable, leaving no mark or residue behind. Take a look at the collection we gathered for you here today and get inspired to do something fun with your walls!

In this post I will present you a showcase of 60 creative movie posters. I came across many sites and found very useful information and gathered all here. So, almost everything has a different colors, style, genre and graphical approach. Basically a film poster is a poster used to advertise a film. There may be several versions for one film, with variations in regards to size, content and country of production of the poster. It usually contains an image with text, though this has evolved over time from image-free bill posters through to the highly visual digital productions of today.

Nowadays there are many posters, but most of them do not attract people. So clearly, the poster design is one of the most important things in advertising films, but nothing outweighs their ingenuity and creativity that attracts many people.

How designers get influenced by music is an informative article about the combination of music and design. Eleven designers talk about their experiences and views on music among them like Alex Beltechi, Pete Harrison and Rik Ooestenbroek. It is totally worth to check out.

This time I also have some different views on the same topic. I’d love to discuss everything with you guys more, so just leave a comment. My question is:

“How does music inspire you and what music do you listen to, while designing?”

I love music second to I love art, sometimes even more, in my opinion music is the most amazing thing people can give to this world, it’s magical, inspirational, sentimental, healing…it’s everything.I always dreamed of being a musician, or a singer performing on the stage, I think it’s the most precious and desirable gift people can have, since I’m not good enough to do that, I transform my feelings while hearing the music to my artworks, hence it become a very special and inspiring process for me.Music can be art , and art can be music.

My favorite genre is rock, new wave, post punk, shoegaze, dreampop, downtempo…there are too many, my top musicians are The Cure ,The Flaming lips, Robin Guthrie…I’m also a chill-out radio fan, love listening to belowzero and anji bee’s chillcast.

“Music is an integral, interwoven, intangible yet indispensable part of my creative process. I tend to save listening to my favourite albums for times where I need to produce my best creative work – I will often watch movies when drumming out less inspired work, but find that my imagination really fires up when the tunes kick in. I have no set genre or band that I listen to when I create – I just listen to whatever album it is that I have on rotation and see where it takes me. Lately I’ve been listening to The XX, Led Zeppelin and Bloc Party – it’s made for some really wonderful creative sessions.”

I came across Basilio Silva’s portfolio the other day and was instantly drawn to his super edgy style. His fashion work is a sublime mixture of bright colors and sharp angles that really leaves me wanting more. I found virtually no information about him except that he’s based in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Sometimes I wonder if artists remain elusive on purpose just to create this mystery about them and their work. Perhaps elusive isn’t the best word…anonymous maybe? I think I really like not knowing anything about him and leaving the rest up to my imagination. Maybe it’s best to just let the work do the talking. I think that’s the true essence of being an artist–communicating and showing yourself through your work without this obscure necessity of words that we hold so much value on. Visual rather than verbal communication is what it’s all about.

Anyway, I’m being hypocritical right now by rambling on about this so I’m just gonna leave you with this collection of Basilio’s work instead. Check out the rest here and, actually, I’d really like to hear your opinion on this whole elusive-artist thing (for lack of better word). Consider the topic officially open for debate. Tweet your take on it to me – @amlight.
