One of the most anticipated summer movies of 2010 and this is the best they can come up with for the final poster? How long did take the designer slap this together? If it was more than fifteen seconds, he took too long.
I shouldn’t be too hard on the designer. It’s more than likely he had about 15 other more vibrant, exciting, fresh and creative ideas that were all shot down by some Hollywood Exec who has become less about new and more about rehashing the old. Movie exec: “We need a new poster. Bobby, churn out some floating heads on a bland background for the new Summer Blockbuster.” “sure thing, boss.”
Ugh.

This poster is near the top on my recent favorites list. I love the logo and the way it spills out of the guitar. Sketchy fonts and notebooky design is “in” right now, but this works better than most and doesn’t come off cliché.
I haven’t read the books yet, but my girlfriend is a fan (the most understated use of the word fan in the history of the word fan), so she keeps me well-informed. It looks like from the trailer the movie is going to be an effin’ carnival ride. And i’m psyched for it.
Sidenote: There is no way that jobless canuck could afford that guitar!

Finally, IE will have HTML5 and CSS3 support. Windows interneters using IE can finally experience web pages as the designers intended. Seriously, this is a time for celebration. IE8 was a good start but with all the features IE9 seems to support, Microsoft is creeping into the discussion regarding web standards. I’m looking forward to testing it out.
