Years back I was dazzled by the opening titles for the television program Big Apple (8 episodes, 2001). And when I found myself in a position to showcase motion graphics at an exhibition, title designer Jamie Caliri was at the top of our list.
‘Pablo is the story of outlaw filmmaker, countercultural icon, and world famous title designer Pablo Ferro.
‘The film blends animation, documentary footage and testimonials of illustrious filmmakers and artists who unravel the legendary life of Pablo Ferro and his legacy.’
More on Pablo The Movie here. Updated trailer (with animation) posted here.

Yves Peters over at The FontFeed gives their monthly roundup of movie poster typography.
I was almost a journalist. And love good newspaper design; and a few years back, got to adapt newspaper design to a magazine format. Dream gig for me.
The New York Times Magazine is a visual delight and I’d say sets the standard for what a weekly newspaper magazine can aspire to (Parade, are you listening?). At one of the schools where I teach, the library has a subscription and a nice stack of back issues. They also subscribe to the stylish spin off, T Magazine.
Yesterday, T Magazine posted the best of their 2009 covers on their daily blog. And the day before, they posted the best of 2008.
And their 5th Anniversary issue has just dropped. 5 different covers – by Frank Gehry, Jenny Holzer, Francesco Vezzoli, Jeff Koons and the Starn brothers – plus work by Karl Largerfeld, Marc Jacobs, Stefano Pilati, Alber Elbaz, Miuccia Prada and Nicolas Ghesquière, the latter 5 doing a makeover of actress Carey Mulligan.
