Some of the best ideas arise from unexpected contradictions: A series of posters celebrate Twitter alongside classic literature, a Costa Rican indie film revisits the past to understand the present, and a design book seeks answers to our evolving world by asking more questions.
 | Confessions of a designer For Frank Chimero, design isn’t just something you do for a living, but a way of approaching the chaotic world we live in through storytelling, improvisation, concept, and craft. After years of creating, writing about, and lecturing on design, he’s collecting his thoughts into a new book that explores less of the how and more of the why we make things. |
 | Kanye meets DickensCelebrating the (d)evolution of writing, NovelPoster employs five works of classic literature and five world-renowned celebrity Twitter feeds to create ten iconic posters. From Dickens' timeless narratives to Kanye's, er, universal truths, NovelPoster uses the full text to form sleek two-tone silhouettes, compacting the last couple-hundred years of literary work into art for the Information Age. |

The speedy outpouring has taken everyone by surprise, but a quick look at Jimenez's personal commentary and the trailer makes it clear there's a wonderfully charming film and back story to become a part of here. |
