It’s Summer, but the new Fall French Market poster is in !

Two things we really enjoy doing when the weather finally turns warm in Chicago: grilling up some spring vegetables in the style of Provence for a backyard picnic, and designing the next Fall French Market poster for Lycée Français de Chicago. This year, Yann had several great ideas on the board to follow up his work over the past three seasons, and the dish he ultimately served up is a dandy. Two things you’ll need to do this summer: check back soon at the blog to find out how you can get your own 2011 poster, and make plans to attend the Fall French Market.

IFC Films Introduces “Autoerotic”

Legendre Rutter — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 13:45:09 +0000

Joe Swanberg’s latest film, an effort to illuminate the private sexual lives of Chicago urbanites, co-directed with Adam Wingard, again relies on the provocative but playful illustrations of Yann Legendre to create a poster packing some visual punch. The fourth Swanberg/Legendre collaboration, Autoerotic follows work on the films Uncle Kent, Caitlin Plays Herself, and Silver Bullets, the film for which Legendre was recently awarded the SXSW prize for best film poster.

IFC Films should be congratulated for embracing a visual treatment for the film that is true to its content. The poster for the film, which was not approved for use on Apple’s iTunes store, is displayed prominently on the IFC website.

Fresh Ink, a series of product creations by Legendre+Rutter for the super-cool, contemporary retailer, CB2, explores the reinvention of the printed artifact, transforming functional communication pieces into a form of visual poetry for your home. For Fall, CB2 is presenting five original works by L+R, now available online. The products include Legendre posters Niki de Saint Phalle and The Birdman, a duvet and pillow case set inspired by a poster for the musician Richard Pinhas, a clock from the same series, and a rug that recreates Rutter’s poster for Les Liaisons Dangereuses. CB2 has made a blog post about the rug that provides some detail and very interesting photos that describe the manufacturing process. Made by hand, each rug takes 2 days to make.
