English National Ballet Design Competition
So there isn't long left on this (just under 2 weeks) but if you are into ballet and like to draw, design, paint, crosstitch, photograph etc. etc. etc. then it could be for you.
The globally renowned English National Ballet is inviting artists to get creative and design the visual identity for ‘My First Sleeping Beauty’, the first in a series of classic ballets for children. The selected artwork will be displayed at the world premiere of ‘My First Sleeping Beauty’ in April 2012 and on marketing and promotional materials in the United Kingdom.
Participants may submit one design in JPEG or PNG format but must retain their original artwork should they be chosen as the winner. Designs submitted must incorporate the following:
• Title ‘My First Sleeping Beauty’
• Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) with dark hair
• A strong reference to ballet
The selected artwork will be produced and featured on 500,000 marketing and promotional materials, press advertisements in the United Kingdom and theatre websites for the ‘My First’ tour.
The winner will receive $2000 and will earn global exposure by having their artwork featured on English National Ballet’s website, their social media platforms and on CultureCritic.co.uk. The winner will also have the opportunity to design the visual identity for future ballets in the ‘My First’ series.
The winner (and one guest) will be invited to the world premiere of ‘My First Sleeping Beauty’ at the London Peacock Theatre in April 2012 (travel and accommodation in London are the responsibility of the winner).
Three runners up (as selected by English National Ballet and Gerald Scarfe) in addition to the highest voted artist will receive:

Travis Hopkins - Art Direction
This video created by Travis Hopkins for Buck 65 is comprised of over 60 fictional movie title cards which spell out the lyrics from the first verse of 'Superstars Don't Love'.
It works so brilliantly because the title design is spot on and the attention to detail is perfect. I particularly love the sequel titles for any line that repeats and the tracking at the beginning that took me right back to being a kid and having a VHS player

Tim Walker, Tati Cotliar, Julia Saner & Shona Heath for Mulberry
More from Tim Walker and Mulbery in their Autumn 2011 campaign 'Foxes, Feathers and Fantasy'. This time I am mainly interested in the set design from Shona Heath although models Tati Cotliar and Julia Saner are looking pretty hot too.

Nicos Livesey - Artist
I just saw these trippy plasticine, stop-motion animations from London based Nicos Livesey and was immediately reminded of the sort of dreams I have when I've eaten too much cheese. The best kind of dreams.

Hattie Newman - Artist
Hattie Newman is an illustrator and set maker working in London. Inspired by all things charming and strange, she makes three dimensional works from paper, card and other materials.
I love how she manages to create such painstakingly creative, fairytale scenarios -that draw you in and spark your imagination- from what is essentially just a sheet of card and a bit of Pritt Stick.

Vintage Book Cover Art Inspiration
I have been thinking about designing something based around some vintage cover art. I have seen it done before and when done well it really looks good.
I have posted lots of similar film posters before here, but this time I thought I would concentrate of book cover art. I got a bit carried away and I could have ended up posting a lot more, maybe I will do another post sometime soon if everyone enjoys it.
Some of these are now real collectors items and can fetch upwards of £500 at auction. I seems like reading was a lot more glamorous back in the day!
