Star Wars Zombie Posters Are Crying Out For Zombie Films To Advertise

Kat Hannaford — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 06:50:48 EST

Official Star Wars artist Matt Busch has created six horrific zombified posters for the Star Wars films, with a mini zombie storyline running through them. See Obi Wan decay more with every new movie poster!

This has all come about because of the latest Clone Wars episode, titled 'Brain Invaders,' which sees several key characters becoming zombies.

Of course, now we're all crying out for zombified parodies of the original films to be uploaded to YouTube. Can we somehow convince Simon Pegg to take part, maybe decapitate a few with some vinyl? [CorePlanets via Geekologie]

My Favorite Educational Poster of the Day

Rosa Golijan — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 02:20:00 EST

I wish there was a closeup image of this poster so that I can actually read it, but I guess I'll have to get one to figure out what I need to know to prepare for my SpaceShipTwo trip.

Actually, I'm gonna get one of these posters simply because it feeds my fantasy of being a superhero spacegirl who goes wherever she spots the batsignal. But either way, looks like it's available for $10 and a heck of a lot of fun.

Ed. note: Plus, if you buy it, it benefits a very worthy charity that promotes literacy. For more geeky gifts whose proceeds go to great causes, have a look at this gift guide. [Greenwood Space Travel Supply via Datavis]

The image associated with this post is best viewed using a browser.BOOM. The Macintosh 128 has exploded all over this poster. Get it alone for $24 or bundled with two others for $46 shipped. Still, fervent Apple devotees go straight for the gluteal cleft tattoo. [Mac Poster Trilogy]

John Connor's Fate Looks More Uncertain in Russian

Jason Chen — Thu, 07 May 2009 18:00:00 EDT

The US Terminator posters feature the major players posed all action-y, but they don't match the gravitas of the Russian ones. A machine about to crush your head? Here's my $10. [io9]

Objectified's Wonderful Gadget-Filled Movie Poster

John Mahoney — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 14:01:00 EDT

Hot of the presses is forthcoming design documentary Objectified's awesome one-sheet poster by Build, which is a veritable visual history of industrial design. How many silhouettes can you name? Updated with high-res file

Since we only care about Apple products here at Gizmodo, I see a Mac Pro, a number of iPods, MacBook Pro, a clickwheel, iPhone, iPhone SIM ejector tool (!!) and an original iMac...

Oh we kid. There's some fine Dieter Rams Braun action in here, just about every important chair from the last century or so, a Wii, Kanye's favorite glasses, a Swatch...so much goodness. As an aviation junkie though, I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit I can't place that profile of a flying-wing-type glider. Anyone know what that is?

Update: The guys who designed the poster, Build, are playing a similar game of "identify the iconic design" over on their blog, and they've provided a great high-res JPG of the poster to help make the game more fun. They also point out, as many of you have, that the word "Objectified" is hidden in the sixth row, and everything in the last row was used to make the film itself. Awesome.

You can grab one for $20 here: [Objectified]

Retro-Future Poster Punches Retro-Futurism In the Face

Jason Chen — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 16:00:00 EDT

As seen on boingboing: this retro-futuristic poster combines everything we knew about the year 2000 back in the 1950s with everything we know about the year 2000 right now. Essential equipment for the "nerd room" in any gadget/tech/science fiction fan's house. $15 and ships August 15. [Topatoco via Boing Boing]

Vintage Time Travel Posters Shatter Space Time, Harken Back/Forward to Our Favorite Epochs

John Mahoney — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 17:10:49 EDT

Dave Eggers' temporally advanced Time Travel Mart in LA ("whenever you are, we're already then!") just released a fantastic poster set that takes on the look and feel of old Pan Am travel ads to hype several of the historical eras we'll all be hitting in our future DeLoreans—Pangaea to run with the dinos, Tokyo 2.0 where binary is the official language, and so on. LA Artist Amy Martin is responsible, and like everything else in Eggers's novelty shop empire (pirates and super heroes also have their own outlets), the $20 goes to writing workshops for kids. Me want. [826LA Online Shop]

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Posters, Trailer Are Mildly Sexy

Charlie White — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 13:45:00 EST

After years of production and planning, coming on January 13, 2008 is the TV version of the venerable Terminator series, entitled Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Depending on your point of view, it's either going to bring a fresh new Terminator into your home every week or completely ruin the entire franchise. Nevertheless, on the next page check out the trailer and arty new posters released by Fox to hype the series, featuring the tough babe cast as Sarah Connor, Brit actress Lena Headey. That gallery is SFW unless you're toiling your life away in the midst of the Amish (and Mennonite) community.

If we get to look at her every week, this show has potential.

Zune Guerrilla Marketer Arrested at SXSW

Travis Hudson — Wed, 14 Mar 2007 19:16:20 EDT

First the NYC stunt and now this? A man postering the hell out of Austin with gaudy Zune posters has been arrested. Besides the fact that the guy is putting GIANT posters up on seemingly small lightposts, it doesn't seem like that big of a deal, but there are probably laws in Texas against those kind of things. Wait, isn't Texas famous for capital punishment. Maybe they will execute the Zune as punishment—Whammy! (Just kidding, me love you long time, Zune) I wonder which Microsoft jockey will draw the short straw and have to apologize for this one? Jump to see a shot of the tatted up, postering goon in cuffs.
