Scroll down through the link and you will see some of the most creative, original, and compositionally sound posters I have ever seen. Most of the posters are inspired by movies such as Wall-E and Indiana Jones or TV shows such as Lost. Maybe one reason these posters stand out to me is because I can relate to all of them. Another thing that stands out is the block style of which each poster is unified by contrast. Movement is also a profound design element that the artist uses to his/her advantage. Information hierarchy is a very basic design principle yet this artist uses it to a great extent. To top it all off the seemingly 50's-ish style catches everyone's eye. Perfection.

PowerMat
http://www.powermat.com/us/home/?SID=bu61eim0213o9tr2r6eedjgl04
I am sure most have came across this by now. Not only is it all over the web but its already found its way into stores. Right out from under our noises, the PowerMat WIRELESS CHARGER (no typo there), has made its way into Best Buys and Targets everywhere. We all knew this day would come, or did we? Can you even comprihend a wireless charger? Imagine just plugging in one chord. ONE CHORD! This chord charges a mat. You get special cases or covers or adapters for up to 3 portable devices and BOOM! you have power!
This invention is absolutely a step in the right direction. Next thing you know, we won't need those special cases, covers, or adapters. We'll just throw our portables onto our "new coffee table wireless charger" and it will charge everything. Incredible.

Micro Chip Art
http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/13/silicon-art-on-a-microchip/
Today in lecture, Prof. Manheimer mentioned something about micro chip art. I googled it. It is extraordinary how small someone can engrave or carve a picture. Sure, it may be done by machine but even then its is mind boggling. I like today's lecture about time and scale. It is crazy how we can have art so large and so small. Amazing.
