I just finished reading a really nice article in the New York Times about spacesuits. The article was written in reference to a traveling exhibition of full-size photographs and X-ray images organized by the Smithsonian, set to launch next Spring. Shown here are some of the suits, x-ray images and explanations of each image. These are such a huge source of inspiration for designers, the details and functions are endless.

I have yet to see Black Swan, but after seeing these posters, I feel a greater urgency to make it to the theater asap. This series of promo adverts were created by London based design studio, LaBoca.

I really wish billboards could be infiltrated with this caliber of work to promote movies nowadays.
