Michael C. Place at Build has an idea for a set of A6 postcards matching actual historical events, births, deaths, scientific breakthroughs with their proper Pantone color. There is more information about the subject on the reverse side of the card. He used Wikipedia as a reference. I say print those bad boys up.
Tim Fraser Brown is a british graphic designer with a clever imagination and a lot of time on his hands.
Over the span of four nights, him and a few friends took about 5,000 Pantone sample chips and recreated Manet’s “Bar at the Folies Bergere” - the result being a work of art in itself, or as the Old Glutton says, it’s an “Impression of an Impressionist painting.”
Above is a close up, but you can see it hanging in all of it’s glory on It’s Nice That.
You can attempt to access Tim’s personal site here, but I keep getting an error, so either he’s really popular right now or it’s just not working right.
