Artsy Media Packaging Mashups

Got a couple of hours to spare? Then check out this collection of amazing media mashups over at Kottke. Artists included re-imagined everything from movie posters to albums to book covers by either mixing the packages they came in or just changing the package all together. Below is Olly Moss's awesome new design for The Deer Hunter poster:

Equally awesome is his Die Hard poster:

And if you've always wondered when The Criterion Collection will start releasing video games, I recommend checking these out immediately.

Last but certainly not least, there's an entire Flickr account dedicated to Nintendo tie-ins people would like to see, which is where I found this gem:

Thanks to Monoscope for the heads up.
