Django App

We’re big Quentin Tarantino fans, so we were extremely excited to have an opportunity to work on the app for his latest movie, Django Unchained. Our friends over at Envoy asked us to design titles for the characters in the film. Super fun project. You can download the app now in the app store.

Homeland Vintage Jazz Record Covers

 

Last night was the finale of the second season of Homeland. To say that I am a huge fan would be an understatement! As a personal project, I set out to create a series of designs to celebrate the award-winning show. Playing off of the subtle theme of jazz that appears the storyline, I designed 12 vintage record covers inspired by the TV series. Let me know what you think.

Just love it! I only have seaso Season 1 but I can relate to the style since I love 60′s jazz.

- gyula németh + 12.17.12 | 4:07 pm

This season drove me off the cliff and I may not return for Season 3 — but those covers are flat out gorgeous. Bravo.

Really nice designs, but to all of the people demanding to buy prints… you should know that selling these designs in any way would be highly illegal and would land M.C. with some colossal copyright infringement lawsuits.
So… just keep that in mind whenever you see unlicensed art that’s based on tv/movies/music, etc.

I’ve enjoyed your other posters of the Dexter series and am happy that you did one for this past season. Nice job! You really pulled out the key elements of the season. I love everything about it….the style, the color pallet, the composition. Too bad there is only going to be one more season.

CBS Prints

A while back I posted about the poster series that CBS commissioned me to do for their corporate office in LA. Well, the prints are now installed and they look great! Below are some images of the artwork on the walls.

It’s hard to get a sense of how big these are in person. All of the prints are silkscreened and several of them are 55″ x 40″. The Big Bang Theory poster is 100 inches long! Each piece is 3 colors – red, black and metallic silver – and represents a classic CBS television show. Below is the entire series.

Gilligan’s Island, I Love Lucy, The Twilight Zone, CSI:, Magnum P.I., Mary Tyler Moore, MASH, & Lost in Space.
