Love this illustration poster by Mike Vasilev. The retro look and colors are really great. The typography is cool and I like how the letters slightly overlap. I also find the different levels of transparency and solids visually interesting.

A Thing of Beauty (Endymion)

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its lovliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.
Therefore, on every morrow, are we wreathing
A flowery band to bind us to the earth,
Spite of despondence, of the inhuman dearth
Of noble natures, of the gloomy days,
Of all the unhealthy and o’er-darkn’d ways
Made for our searching: yes, in spite of all,
Some shape of beauty moves away the pall
From our dark spirits. Such the sun, the moon,
Trees old and young, sprouting a shady boon
For simple sheep; and such are daffodils
With the green world they live in; and clear rills
That for themselves a cooling covert make
‘Gainst the hot season; the mid-forest brake,
Rich with a sprinkling of fair musk-rose blooms:
And such too is the grandeur of the dooms
We have imagined for the mighty dead;
An endless fountain of immortal drink,
Pouring unto us from the heaven’s brink.

~ John Keats

I recently watched Bright Star and felt inspired by the bittersweet love story. Based on the Greek myth of Endymion, I think this is such a beautiful poem by John Keats. I hope you are all having a lovely Friday.

Can you say Ah-Mazing. The work of Graphic Designer Micah Burger is totally awesome. It’s full of cool quirky elements and all around fun. Love it!
