Retro-Futuristic Star Wars Travel Posters by Steve Thomas

So apparently graphic designer Steve Thomas has been holding out on all of us and was holding back Star Wars travel posters from the omniscient eyes of the world wide web, biding his time like a true Jedi while everyone else put out their Star Wars art mash-ups.  

Based just north of the Twin-Cities (TIL Twin-Cities = Minneapolis & Saint Paul), Steve has a liking for retro-futuristic mid-20th century  design inspiration, as is evident in his works.  Theres just so much gung-ho-ness in these posters that I think I'm going to go to Tosche Station to pick up some power converters for my B-Wing to fly out and travel to these places.

Minimalist Beatles Posters from Matt Chase

I remembered seeing this pretty awesome inspiring United States Postal Service re-branding floating around the Twitterverse a while back from D.C based graphic designer Matt Chase, and through some kind of omen I felt the need to check up on his work where I was nowhere near disappointed.

Hes got a lot of good stuff, and though I wanted to post up some more of his other fine work, I thought that it would take away from this set of Beatles posters that deserve your undivided attention.  He really makes the black and white work, and comes up with some really nice visuals for some of their tracks.

Avant-Garde Bauhaus by Herbert Bayer

As one of the more recognized designers from the Bauhaus Institution, Herbert Bayer was a teacher, art director, and architect originally from Austria who contributed a great deal of influence to the Bauhaus movement during 1919-1933.  His work represents the essence of Bauhaus design in its geometrical minimalism and style.  Really love the elemental simplicity and shape-shifting going on in these pieces here, very pleasing to the eye.

He's also made some nice fonts as well, with Universal being my favorite from him.
