Michael Jackson Tribute

What the FFF?

Founded in 2005 by an ever growing group of designers, illustrators, coders and makers eager to collect and share the best design work they came across, FormFiftyFive soon became an international showcase of creative work.

We scour the world’s best creative talent to keep FormFiftyFive a foremost collection of current design from both the young upstarts and well known masters. We’re constantly on the look out for new features that dig even deeper into what’s happening in the design community, so get in touch if there’s something you’ld like to see on here.

Have a look round, if you see something you love or hate be sure to comment, and drop us a line if there’s a juicy bit of creative gold you’d like to see on here.

Keep it real, the FFF team.

Seems more like a cheap dig than a tribute.

I also just realised there\’s a typo on the right swatch…it says 450, 450 rather than going up numerically. Whoops!

The Michael on the right stays the same color and the one on the left changes.

Thanks Staynice.

Double whoops – apparently not at my most observant today! =/

How does pointing out skin tone for the sake of , what appears to be self promotion, act as a tribute??

I don’t get it.

In comparison to the array of existing designer Pantone gags out there this one doesn’t really do it for me…

Yeah I think tribute is maybe not the best title for this post?

This is pretty insensitive. Yep: cheap.

At the risk of jumping on the bandwagon I’m not into this either – it might have been a funny piece had he still been alive – now he’s dead it just feels like a bit of a cheap shot.

Quite tacky an dinsensitive to be called a tribute.

Is it just me that thinks the most offensive thing about this is the fact that it’s another navel gazing graphic design Pantone reference?

It’s a book that has colours in it. I have an underwear drawer with some different coloured pairs of socks in it.

petemandotnet on Mike McQuade

Some really nice work.

petemandotnet on Erretres

Matt sure has been busy! Definitely one of the most prolific street artists out there at the moment.

Glenn on MWM – Updates

Those animal illustrations remind me of vintage children’s books – Mid Century, Danish style. Would look awesome as a series of art prints!

Elliot from endemicworld art prints on Ryan Chapman

Nice one Mike!
