Ty Mattson constructed an alternate show intro for the Showtime series Dexter that is reminiscent of Saul Bass’ movie titles from the ’60s. Groovy! The video is based on a series of posters Mattson created, which you can see at his site. Link -Thanks, Ty!

There’s a set of 54 beautifully designed minimalist movie posters over at NewsRadio 1290 WJNO, including Jaws, The Dark Knight, and Star Wars, though my favorites have to be The Fly and Psycho. It’s wonderful how the essence of a film can be conveyed so simply. In a world where more is better, these posters are definitely refreshing.

Want more? Check out these minimalist posters based on Stephen King books, and these awesome Star Wars planet posters.

Artist Nick Tassone created way cool minimalist posters of some of Stephen King’s literary works. You can probably guess what book movie each represents without looking at the title!

Justin Van Genderen designed a series of five posters of places in the Star Wars universe. They remind me of vintage travel agency posters. See posters featuring Tatooine, Hoth, the Degobah System, and Bespin as well as Endor at Gigantor. Link -via Buzzfeed

Is it a bracelet or a watch … or both? Here’s a minimalist wristwatch by Hiranao Tsuboi of 100%:

The eye-catching watch uses LED digits built into the elegant black brushed-metal wristband, negating the need for a traditional watch face altogether.

Tsuboi’s watch also has no name – it’s a one of a kind exercise made especially for Tokyo Design Week 2008.

That may not be the case for long, though… reaction to the watch has been overwhelmingly positive and it’s likely one of Japan’s specialty retailers will introduce a version of the faceless watch sometime soon. One might say, it’s only a matter of time.
