Rachel McAdams was great in this role too - but I like all her stuff (a bit of a girl crush)
So, if you ever watch the movie stay tooned for the great work of art that is the end credits!

A little tangent - some awesome design on the silver screen
I saw Sherlock Holmes a while ago in Boston visiting my friend Liz, and we both ended up drooling over more than Robert Downey Jr. Both of us being RISD grads, the art at the end credits left us in our seats while audience rolled out. Here are some great screenshots I found on Graphic Exchange. The end sequence was done by a company called Prologue, which coincidentally enough, another RISD friend of mine used to work for in LA. You can read about their process and see more concepts at the post on Graphic Exchange.

Gorgeous poster designs to get your creative juices flowing
As some of you may or may not be aware, I have been a web designer (you can see some of the sites I've designed here) before I ever became interested in interior design, and it's still the primary way I get the bills paid. Web Designers, like most creatives, well, like anyone in any industry I suppose, require fresh sources of inspiration and need to stay on top of what the market is responding to. Normally I don't bring web/graphic design into Decorology but I thought some of these posters were so beautiful I just had to share.

Just gorgeous

Awesome treatments for your walls
Don't want to hang art or wallpaper, but just a coat of paint too boring for you? Well, Jill recently introduced me to her unique take on walls and I was impressed. She is also a talented interior designer. Check out her graphic murals...
Of her process, she says:
"The murals started a number of years ago when I had a short-term loft rental in Tribeca (NYC). I had these massive white walls and didn't want to spend a fortune on art since I'd be moving out in 6 months, so I painted the murals directly on the walls. Then other people started wanting them, too. All of my murals are painted, but there are different techniques. The geometric ones like the yellow octagons I work out in Autocad first to get the dimensions and spacing just right; then I use a laser level to tape it off. It can take days to do the taping for one of these, but then the paint just gets rolled on so that part happens pretty quickly. For the figural ones like the birds in trees, I work out the design on paper or in the computer in small scale first, then project it onto the wall and trace with a pencil. Then I hand paint all the outlines and fill them in, often needing 4 coats of paint to get the nice crisp opaque look I like---these are the most labor-intensive of the murals. I'm currently working up wallpaper designs based on the murals, which will be available on www.wallpaperstogo.com sometime in the next few months."
I think her murals are really tasteful, and are simple enough you wouldn't get tired of looking at them after awhile.
I think I'd pick this one - maybe in a high gloss cool gray over the same color in matte.
Which is your fav?
