Visual designer Kyle Tezak successfully summed up a series of blockbuster movies into four simple (and wonderfully executed) icons each. Not an easy task. Prints of The Four Icon Challenge are available for $16.
My favorite is The Big Lebowski. The thumb icon just makes me smile.

Designer Albert Exergian, created this absolutely stunning series of TV posters as a personal project. He uses a minimal, modernist style to illustrate iconic TV shows, old and new. Exergian does an impressive job of capturing the essence of each show in a couple of simple shapes. The posters are humorous, smart, visual perfection. Search for your favorite show, I don't think you will be disappointed. The series is available through Blanka as A1 prints.

It is one of my favorite times of the year... time for Nicholas Feltron's Annual Report.
Most designers will be well aware of Feltron's tradition, as his reports are an annual source of graphic and information design inspiration. If you have not heard of them, the Annual Reports are a summary of graphic designer, Nicholas Feltron's year. They cover the places he has been, the foods he has eaten, the fluctuations in his mood, etc, etc. They are not only ridiculously pleasant to look at, but amusing to read. If you are interested in collecting your own annual data, check out one of Feltron's other projects, Daytum.
