The Import

Already 2 years passed since TheImport blog was started and our collection of posts is constantly growing. So we decided to bring most popular ones into one place. That is to make your search for great creative content easier. And also to give big hugs to TheImport team who wrote these posts as the time went by. As this blog will continue its search for all things art, not format, and not standard, here goes your best posts from the past. Enjoy and let us know what do you think!

Little look back at the design of sticker albums from years gone by.

We used to allow great people to take over TheImport for a while. I mean post what they want to post. Blog post about passion they share and other things. We did good few posts and The Import Takeover by London based punk/fashion style illustrator MR.FRIVOLOUS  was one of the best. There are three parts to it. Check them all out here: first, second and last. Maybe you want to take over The Import with great blog post? Get in touch.

Alain Delorme lives in Paris and is an author of many realistic photos. We featured his collection of images from Shanghai. Not sure if these are real pictures or hard worked with a help of Photoshop magic. You decide..

In 2010 TheImport team was visiting Berlin and had a chance to take some great street art photos. Great quality work by German street artists, check their creativity we found hidden in Berlin streets!

In 2010 we did a blog post featuring brilliant Ray-Ban posters produced by San Francisco agency Cutwater. Illustrators Sebastian Onufszak and Sakke Soini are the authors.
TheImport readers liked them a lot and we still get questions where to buy these. Stay tuned, we are creating something to give you answers.

Dead Photos collection by Tom Phillips is unique. It always causes reaction. Some readers think his photos are just great, some say they are complete waste of time. In any way, its your call. This post was and still is very popular among TheImport readers.

We have compared Wenlock and Mandeville to other mascots out there. Great list of Olympic mascots beginning in 1968 with unofficial icon from the Mexico City games and continuing on. Check them out.

TheImport presented Australian photographer Denis Smith’s and his light graffiti collection. What do you think?

There’s something beautifully nostalgic, and indeed inspiring, about perusing vintage public communications posters. TheImport created blog post with bunch of vintage road safety posters from golden age of British design. These posters are collected by Paul Rennie. And this TheImport blog post still is very popular destination for anyone looking for great design inspiration on the Internet.
