Design Oughta Be Fun: Turner Classic Movies Trading Cards

I like cool-lookin' things. That's basically the only point of this new semi-occasional feature, to show off bits and pieces of interesting design spotted around the web, out in the world or print, and on the shelves of my local supermarket.

First up: Turner Classic Movie, best channel on the cable dial, is promoting their monthlong "Summer Under the Stars" series of 31 themed days of one-actor-centric programming with a beautifully designed minisite and a set of downloadable trading cards, both featuring the design and art of Michael Schwab. Here's a few of 'em:









Pretty beautiful, huh?

You can see and download the entire set of 31 make-'em-yourself trading cards here. Read the story behind the creation of the cards right here, and enter to win an actual set of the cards here. And don't forget to watch some of the greatest stars of Hollywood in some wonderful movies throughout the month of August. I'll bring the popcorn!
