Graphic designer Tavis Coburn designed the program covers for this year’s BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) Awards, and they’re retro-cool! Each one features elements from the nominees for the Best Picture Award.

They are really cool. I just have a massive amount of respect for people who can create such cool bits of work. Oh and I just watched ‘Precious’ the other day on a flight and I thought it was brilliant – well worth a look.

These are incredible. Tavis Coburn is brilliant! Huge fan of Hurt Locker and Up in the Air.
