These recent photos of Saturn and its system of moons could as easily be viewed as graphic compositions. Seems there must be somebody with a great feel for aesthetics at NASA.

Alex Varanese is not only someone who can create great retro graphics, but also has some weird imagination. He asked himself: What would have happened if the gadgets of today – mp3-players, mobile phones, laptops, etc. – would have been available in the seventies? And how would they have been marketed? The result is a series of 14 wonderful and interesting graphic posters full of warm orange/red tones, cool typography and heaps of clever ideas.

At informationarchitects.jp there is a very interesting conversation going on about the design of the WIRED magazine in the Apple's iPad. There is a lot to learn about designing for the iPad in general. What makes it even more interesting is not only the critique of Oliver Reichenstein (Information Architects), but the thoughtful reactions of Jonathan Hoefler (H&FJ type foundry) and Khoi Vinh (creative director of New York Times Online).

Noa Emberson took 25 of his favourite music albums and made 25 posters out of them. The titles, the lyrics, some layout lines and shapes, plus a big backdrop photography. Nothing special you might say. But Noa‘s feeling for juxtaposition, color palettes and typographic structure let me gasp in awe. So beautiful. My favourite is Iron & Wine‘s Our Endless Numbered Days (above).

Clean & sweet: Kyle Fletcher's site presents some great type works in a nicely layed-out package. Check out the rollover animations of the seemingly usual navigation on the top!

Excellent typographic treatment from Netherlands.

Nature, astronomy, science fiction, geometry, great color & texture combos. There's just no way for me to NOT like these graphic works by Atmostheory.
