THINKCONTRA.COM


Stop thinking, start THINKING.

Contra is a bi-monthly web publication based out of Toronto exploring ideas, people and culture.

It's about being creative, independent, vocal and opening dialogue through photography, illustrations and design. 

If music, art, culture, fashion, photography or just being bored is where you're at- you need some Contra.

MODERN DOG



I'm not talking Snopp. 
Modern Dog Design Co. a seattle based design company chalk full of advertising (poster) goodness. 
If you're much for the indie scene or the 90's grunge rock explosion, you'll recognize a great deal of poster design for artists you know and love. From Cursive, You will know us by the trial of the dead, The Wrens, The Hives, Sonic Youth and even Bad Religion. All the posters are such a perfect balance of vector, rasterized images and original artwork that you could only dream of achieving. 

On your way to the posters you'll stumble across a fabulous C.S Lewis quote: 

"Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it." 

Chew on that, it tastes good.

So does this.
