Download now: Hi-res Space Helmet Reflections Poster

And here it is, the high resolution version of 3 Tons Gallery amazing Space Helmet Reflections. A million thanks to everybody who helped to collect the images!

The resolution of the Poster is allright for printing in A3, and perfect for A4. You still can print it in higher formats, but it might get pixely if you look at it from very close.

There are also the InDesign Files available, for the case you want to edit it. We did not find all of the images from the original poster, so I used different ones to replace them. And sometimes I did not zoom in as much as 3 Tons did, as this would have decreased the quality for printing.

Update2: Lets make a hi-res poster of Space Helmet Reflections

3Ton Gallery made a truly amazing collection of reflections in movie space helmets. There’s only a low-res version of it, but there are lots of requests for a high-res version. I agree with that and want to create one, but I need your help!

Post links to bigger versions of space helmet reflections in the comments here. Once we have collected enough of them, I’ll create a full resolution version and post it here!

Update: Excellent work everybody so far, this is what we have at the moment:

Update2: The poster is done! Download here

rebrand BP

Greenpeace UK are doing a competion changing the BP logo:

“BP has a really nice logo, but it doesn’t really suit their dirty business. To me, a shiny green logo doesn’t really suit a company that is responsible for the oil currently gushing into the Gulf of Mexico and onto the beaches of Louisiana, or the company that’s sanctioning environmental disaster by being poised to invest in the Canadian Tar Sands. “

They are calling for designers and everybody else to change the BP logo. The winner will get a Greepeace goodie pack, but it’s all about the good cause, right? You can see stuff already submitted here.
