He has a uniquely retro design asthetic and a wonderful appreciation of colour, composure and texture. Heres a sample of what he’s did for the BAFTAs. Can you pick the movies nominated for Best Picture from the poster design?

Did you work them all out? Appearing in order: “Up in the Air”, “An Education”, “Hurt Locker”, “Avatar” and “Precious”. Ive seen all of the nominated films except “An Education”, so far my pick for best film is Precious. The story will tear your heart up in little pieces and then tape it back up miraculously. Hurt Locker is also fantastic, Katherine Bigelow is an amazing director! There was one point during this movie that The Husband and I were literally sitting on the edge of the couch with baited breath. Go and see both these films, before the Oscars, if you can. Two thumbs up! For Tavis Coburn too!!

Everyone who has ever illustrated, animated or filmed Alice and her Wonderland has put their own spin on the ‘look’. I was wasting time researching in IMDB and saw that the ‘Master of Bizarre’ (a.k.a Tim Burton) is making Alice in Wonderland!! I love the magic Burton has weaved in everything from Edward Scissorhands to Beetlejuice, to Batman Returns, James and the Giant Peach, Corpse Bride and the Nightmare before Christmas. He manages to add a touch of the macabre to create another dimension, a different, adrker layer to whats on the surface- and i dig that! He’s married to the Queen of Kook: Helena Bonham Carter and together they’ve been fantastic in their on screen collaborations. Thats one house i’d love to be a fly on the wall in!

The cast so far is brilliant! Johnny Depp (swoon), Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway, Alan Rickman and ChristopherLee to name the big ones. Plus, beating out Amanda Seyfried (Big Love, MammaMia) and Lindsey Lohan (binge drinking, drug dabbling) for the coveted role of Alice is aussie born, canberran Mia Wasikowska! How cool is that!

Fishing through Google i came across these images from the film. JD looks sensational as the Mad Hatter and i bet HBC will be awesome as the Red Queen.

The movie is scheduled to premiere on the 5th of March 2010 and is still in post production so we’ll have to hang in there…
