Build and Blanka celebrate moon landing

Posted by Satara Achille, 21 July 2009, 15:53    Permalink    Comments (16)

To coincide with yesterday's 40th anniversary of the moon landing Blanka has released a new poster by Build. The poster is the sixth in Build's ongoing scale series - all of which depict a coloured circle representing different globular objects. Previous posters in the series include the sun, the earth, a carbon atom and the death star. "We originally came up with the idea 18 months ago," says Blam from Blanka, "and have been sitting on it for what seems like forever. When we came up with it we decided it would be nicer to save it for the 40th anniversary."

The posters are available in a black and a white version (both with phosphorescent - glow in the dark ink) but if you want them you better hurry because, Blam tells us, they're selling like hot cakes!

Yeaaahhh Alrightttt... the classic 'Blanka / Build' glow in the dark ink! Well at least it has some relevance to the subject matter this time.

I'm a sucker for big coloured circles in design.

I think i've been waiting nearly 18 months for this idea to come to print!

Brilliant idea and after buying the sun scale series poster a while back this is a great addition

Design/Moon enthusiasts should also check out Lou Dorfsmans book for CBS:

"10:56:20 PM EDT 7/20/69; the historic conquest of the moon as reported to the American people by CBS news over the CBS television network".

After 48 hours of the 'Scale Series - Moon' launch we only have 10 copies left which makes this a Blanka 'Personal Best' set by the very talented Mr Place. Thanks for all the kind words we received.

it's a joke... shallow and not so insightful as you thking it is... they're basing on their fame and brand to sell us crapy ideas that pretend to be revelatory.

I have several posters of a square available should anyone want one. I realise I'm not famous like Build, so I'm happy to accept £5 for each poster. I'll even chuck in some blu-tack.

After 6 months of hard work, I've just about nailed the triangle too. Reserve your copy to avoid disappointment.

I have an idea! Something (haven't decided what yet) set in helvetica, with some small, obviously gridded type saying something (haven't decided what yet) at the bottom. We can save money on printing by doing a limited edition of 3 (and 3 of an inverted edition) sell them for €60 use the profit to buy lots (lots) of shit, and send it to Michael C Place with a note saying "this is the last time I give a shit about you ... and here's some shit
