These are pieces from an AAU grad school design project for a hypothetical Wes Anderson film festival. See more of the project here. Read more about it here, at ISO50. Tilt-shift, tilt-shift. Everything here is gorgeous. The only thing that's wrong is that it's not real. And that's not a design flaw, it's a cosmic one.

AND....while we're on the subject...

Check out this hilarious video of sketch group The Land Line spoofing Hollywood directors' would-be McCain attack ads. The Wes Anderson is the b-e-est. I've got to say that Bowie plus the suits with slow-mo sequence and jogging attire in a primary color pretty much = sum of Mr. Anderson's style.
