Syd Mead saw the Future (and it was good)
A portfolio of futurist renderings by the legendary Syd Mead. Dig on the weird tiger/lynx creature! Check out the Imperial Walkers with tyre feet! Groove on the freaky street signage! There are some serious illustration stylings waiting to happen here.
Muonics / Theodore Watson
I dig Funky Forest so much (see Hotness v1.2) that I’ve been digging around on ‘who done it?’. Here is the site for Muonics/Theodore Watson. Have a look and be inspired - this is where we need to move interaction - away from computer screens and out into the world.
Water-Drop Typography | Julius Popp

Saul Bass-styled Star Wars Titles
One of my favourite comics of the 1980’s was Marvel’s What If? One of my all time favourite designers is Saul Bass. One of favourite movies is Star Wars.
