Jonathan Barnbrook and Marcus Leis Allion’s Bourgeois circled the globe as part of the international promotional campaign for Ridley Scott’s blockbuster The Martian. The monolinear design was strung across newspapers, billboards, and magazines from the United States to Asia, and onward, to drum up anticipation for the release. Iginition Print and 20th Century Fox hit all the right notes, adding a little humor when needed. (The face masher at bringhimhome.com, for example, pretty goofy/genius.)
