Barcelona-based design studio Forma & Co has created a new set of colorful, minimalist<\/a> postcards that feature well-known cultural icons like superheroes, Santa Clause and even Jesus Christ. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Illustrating each personality with simple lines, bold shades and signature emblems, the \u201cRe-Vision\u201d project is an \u201cexercise in style and synthesis\u201d according to its creators. See some of our favorite postcards from the series below and head over to the studio\u2019s website for the entire collection.<\/p>\n

These striking graphics have also been made into larger promotional posters. In some places, it is possible to send them for a lower fee than for a letter.<\/p>\n

Stamp collectors distinguish between postcards (which require a stamp) and postal cards (which have the postage pre-printed on them). While a postcard is usually printed by a private company, individual or organization, a postal card is issued by the relevant postal authority.<\/p>\n

The study and collecting of postcards is termed deltiology. Illustrating each personality with simple lines, bold shades and signature emblems, the \u201cRe-Vision<\/a>\u201d project is an \u201cexercise in style and synthesis\u201d according to its creators. These striking graphics have also been made into larger promotional posters.<\/p>\n

Content precedes design<\/h3>\n

Intuitiveness can be broken down into a sort of ladder, or a cake with three layers: legibility at the top, metaphor in the middle, and skills at the bottom. By way of example, the concept of\u00a0scrolling<\/a>\u00a0(which we hardly give any thought to) relies on all of them:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It has to be legible.<\/strong>\u00a0Legibility is about having cues or signals that are unambiguous and recognizable.<\/li>\n
  2. Metaphor is the framing concept.<\/strong>\u00a0In the case of scrolling, either you think of a scroll (the papyrus kind!), where one end rolls up and the other end unrolls to reveal more text, or you think of a window in space that you pan around.<\/li>\n
  3. Skills are the motor skills that you pick up.<\/strong>\u00a0It\u2019s the physical ability to click your mouse on up\/down arrows, or to slide your finger across the scroll wheel.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    For better or worse, we live in a world of media invention. Instead of reusing a stable of forms over and over, it\u2019s not much harder for us to create new ones. Let\u2019s buy this theme.<\/p>\n
