A little perspective: Malaysian graphic designer cleverly mixes movie posters and real life
Meet Jaemy Choong, a graphic designer and co-founder of Kickatomic Creatives , a ‘graphic lab’ based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Their incredibly clever designs have been used in logos, prints, corporate identities, and even for Malaysian TV channels.
Discovered by Bored Panda last week, Jaemy C.’s currently ongoing project involves cleverly manipulating postcard-sized movie posters so that they blend in seamlessly with background people, objects, and even a cooked chicken! Join us after the jump for some visually fun movie mash-ups.
Jaemy Choong sums himself up in the following way on one of his social media accounts:
“Awkwardintroverted Malaysian. I play with movie postcards & @Kickatomic in a graphic lab co-founded by my crazy.”
If that description doesn’t immediately pull you in, check out his company’s business pitch:
“Hire us for the mere fact that we are externally crazyfun but internally superserious when it comes to getting shit done. We are young (kinda), willing (please don’t bend us over) and learning (our sponge is thirsty) and we believe in giving our best to our projects. Yes we do.”
They’ve certainly got our attention!
