Print Ad: Mutiny

Mutiny has had a great ad camping going over the past year that consisted of a perfect formula: great photography, simple typography, and a new little graphic element for each ad.

Heider Ismail is a photographer and designer whose work I first noticed after coming across outtakes from his solo photography show – You’re Standing On Our Streets sponsored by Carlsberg and Converse.

Really enjoyed this Garrett Reeves video posted on thecomeup a few days ago. Cool use of spots and fast, smooth lines. This is apparently leftover footage, wonder what his ‘real’ part will be like?

Tom Perry Edit

San Diego’s “Ohio” Tom Perry has a rad edit on the Odyssey site… He’s got some great clips throughout the edit, but the first manual to 180 has been stuck in my head for hours… Big thanks to Josh Hayes for the above photo, as well as the bonus pic after the jump.
