Reader Submission of the Week: Aleksi Ahjopalo

This week's Reader SOW: Aleksi Ahjopalo--a Finnish graphic designer and illustrator with some pretty damn stylish typography skills and grunge feels and vintage textures. With his big bold lettering and catchy illustration work, Aleski is top notch.

Remember that we are welcome to any and all submissions at Flyergoodness@gmail.com!

Reader S.O.W -- Pablo Stanley

Pablo Stanley from San Diego, CA is this week's reader submission of the week.  Really digging some of his abstracts and illustration.  His octopus and buddy akai posters remind me of Martijn van Dam's work.

Don't forget to send in whatever designs you've got to us at Flyergoodness@gmail.com

Vintage Houdini Posters

Caught this excellent post by the good folks over at Beautiful Decay that featured some rather unusual pieces that you don't see everyday.  They posted some really nice old school posters based on houdinis from the late 1800s in line with a current gallery exhibition going on over at the Skirball Cultural Center (which I should probably go to).  Some of them are odd, yes, but I am really liking the different ways the word "houdini" is created in these with outlines, serifs, curves, italics, and kerning.

Cool poster for this year's Newport Beach Film Festival in Southern California.

New Poster Designs from Allan Peters

Here's a ton of fantastic new work by a senior art director from BBDO Minneapolis, Allan Peters.  I never knew that he was such a great logo designer, or that he was capable of making such beautiful screen prints.   Check out his website or his blog for more.

Also, check out our older post on Allan Peters and his internet-famous "Poster on a Stick" series, which looks as awesome as it sounds.
