Eye Candy Friday: Posters

| | Comments (4)

This week's Eye Candy Friday is a trio of posters I found while cleaning out my art things. Wow, I thought I'd thrown these away. They're keepers!

This commemmorated the last Seinfeld episode and was part of a paper promo I received when I worked full-time in a design studio. If you recognize the style of design, it's because it's by Charles S. Anderson Design, who does a lot of paper promos and great posters. This is still on their website, as the 5th grey bar in their poster design subnav.

Ed Viesturs has since climbed all 14 8,000m peaks, but when I saw him speak he still had two to go. He and partner Veikka Gustafson have taken some absolutely breathtaking pictures at high altitude. I'd show you the ones of Lynn Hill and Dave Graham, but it's just people on rocks, and I have a multi-track mind!

My absolute favorite: Gary Baseman. Back in my college days, our class would invite notable designers or agencies, illustrators, and photographers to talk to our VisComm department. A classmate happened to work with Mr. Baseman and got him not only to speak and show slides, but to create a custom poster for the event. *And* we got to take him out to dinner. He was a funny, absolutely down-to-earth guy.

Have a wonderful weekend!

I love the Ed Viesturs one. It is funny because I just started the book "3 Cups of Tea" and it starts with a failed K2 climb.

Oh, good, I found you again! I'm the person who wants the Gedifra. I didn't really drop off the face of the earth--my husband changed our email server, but neglected to mention it to me in advance. I lost all my saved email AND my entire address book. Aargh! Anyway, I'm still interested, and I figured out the PayPal thing, so please let me know how to proceed. Thanks!
