I’m loving this brand new app that has just been released by Mimoa

“Get the worldwide architecture guide on your iPhone. Discover all modern architecture around you while traveling, or go and explore your own city.”

The MIMOA app features:
>> locating Modern Architecture near you based on your current location
>> change your location to find Modern Architecture anywhere else
>> detailed information about any project
>> search through the database by category
>> filter search results by type, function, country, city, public or not public
>> switch between list view and map view
>> all data (except images and maps) is stored locally for offline use
>> notify another architecture lover about the MIMOA app and share a project

and the best part? its free!

Or at least the first 1,000 downloads are, so get yourself over there now!

Eduardo Prox is following the trend with these examples, love the use of colour in these ones.

This is an interesting series, described by the author as “an ongoing experiment to abstract and/or reduce film posters. Some famous, some not so famous but all cool in their own way.”

They are from the appropriately named blog, Filmtheblanks.com

and finally the last for this post, and the series is this set, is an amazing use of simple colour and GOOD typography. They were created by creative director Mehmet Gozelik oh, and the set is for sale via Antreposhop.com
