The Type Sandwiches series, a typographic series of food created using only color and the Helvetica font, is part of David Schwen’s MSCED project and was inspired by his original Burgervetica design.

The following posters precisely depict what might happen if you take it upon yourself to forget your common sense while performing manual or machine labor. TA needs these now. (Thanks S!)

The sublime debut, the drug-induced album, the inevitable crappy final album. Grant Snider neatly sums up the behavior of modern musical groups in his poster, Discography of Your Favorite Band.

Talented illustrator Olly Moss made these fantastic posters for each of the movies in the original Star Wars trilogy. Each poster is limited to only 400 pieces so watch out for them on Mondo Tees.

If superheroes were real, there’s no doubt that their cities will leverage them for tourism. These comic posters do just that, but in an understated manner. Gotham’s Tourism Board sure is creepy.

If you asked us to name a dozen famous redheads, we’d struggle to get past Ronald McDonald. Please refer to this handy wall chart the next time you’re asked to do the same. Say, where’s Murray?

What could these powerful men be afraid of? The Internet, that’s what.  These posters were made for the International Society of Human Rights to show the value of the Net in defending human rights.

We’re liking the Fortune Poster series from Jason Dean; each of the 8 pieces coordinates colors and icons associated with a phrase from a real fortune cookie, and can be randomly chosen for you.

Aside from the Star Wars series, Matt Busch has more zombiefied movie posters. Instead of just Photoshopping the originals, Busch recreates the posters by hand. Also available as T-shirts.

Graphic designer Matthew Ranzetta’s poster designs brilliantly combine Star Wars imagery with other classic movies. Yes, Luke did have a cool hand once it was replaced with a mechanical one.

UK-based movie magazine Little White Lies often have awesome art on their cover. Thankfully, they’ve decided to sell copies of the illustrations as prints. The Tron print is so bad ass.

We don’t know what posessed Brandon Ortwein to draw iconic vehicles as vans, but the end results are funny but still recognizable. Available as prints, iPhone/iPod Touch cases and laptop skins.

Artists Mike and Matt of Wonder Bros offer these Picasso-esque superhero prints over at their Etsy shop. While we kinda like scrambled Spider-Man, The Man of Steel is going to give us nightmares.

Musicians are often trendsetters in fashion as well. The Everguyed network pays homage to 20 musicians and their iconic get-ups with these posters by Glenn Michael and James Alexander.

Bill Murray is one of Wes Anderson’s staple actors, but what if Murray was Anderson’s only actor? No need to tax your brain with such a question; Casey Weldon already did the work for us.

Moxy Creative’s prints feature just the clothes and accessories associated with films. We love the Top Gun poster, but we’re disappointed that Marty McFly’s vest and kicks isn’t on the list.

Freaking Aweso.me is a new art line created by The Awesomer founder Sion Lee. Their first piece is this awesome zombie poster, loaded up with 978 references to undead movies, books, and games.

Andy Helms makes good use of the spaceships in Star Wars in his series of posters. Although judging by these posters alone, you’d think that the movies were all about strength in numbers.

Japanese subways are filled with posters reminding commuters of proper manners. These posters from the 70s and 80s are done with a variety of styles. Can you guess what they’re saying? More here.
