Fond this page in the Print magazine. i found it rather interesting how they could maintain the unity of the can vegtables with its variety in sized. if you pay close attention you may notice that the line that they run on are exactly the same width and dont seem to fall out of its place. The other exaples look axactly the same for the exception of the different color.

This ad was actually used in a TV commercial. I had originally scan in the image from a print magazine and it had gotten an award for character. If you look closely you can see a really broad array of interesting "things" happening. like a wife murdering her husband in the bathtub. An abandoned baby on the top floor. Collapsed old lady. So on an so forth. it is a very neat idea and interpretation of differences and things that could be happening right next to you that you wouldn't know about behind closed doors. I like it because it does spark major creativity to me.

Always Coca Cola ~ Yeah!

Ooooh yes...a brand we are all familiar with! i came across this add in a graphic design magazine. My favourite type of advertising is by far intellectual, and I think coke has captured it particularly well even by the branding of their own trucks. The fact that they made one of them display the coke logo by only using their own famous branded coke bottles was a neat idea, but that they have what seems to look like a tow truck - crane type image in the front of the trailer that has a colossal size bottle hitched to it was really cool. That one i would definitely consider my favourite. in case you were wondering about the title of this post, its actually one of their branded phrase =)

World Wide Web

Hehe get it? I like this picture becauze it seemed to relate to ALOT of the Photoshop work that we have beeen doing recently. I can figure that croping with laso tools, and using multiple layers for the spider, globe and the web that could be used in order to get this many elements of the picture to work together. Most probably be intellectual in some manner. What do you think?

Yay.....well well.....even though I did find this poster and immediatly reconise the figure. but i did notice some style mixes perhaps. the "ray bands" put more emphasis on the captain and he too stands up to be in a herooic poses as well. Red, Blue and the yellow colors work well together and we might see some exaggeration in his facial expression as well. The fonts to mee seem interesting but the "special price" dot I don't think really looks right with this flyer.

I really really like this logo. For one its only 2 colors so has a very nice clean un complicated look. The logo illistration is abstract and very fun and seems almost comical in some way. Having 3 differnt wieghts i think was a lil daring but overall really works.

Ha ha .....this is a whole set of printing design. Everything from a BusCard in the top left, postcard bottom left, and a 2 sided flyer on the center and right. This is a very nice choice of color depending on the season but for arguments sake its summer and you wanna go on holiday season. The flowing illistration imitates water which in that could simbilize the ocean which as we all very well know is just about the number one place to be on vacation.

Hey hey. chip kidd has a very parculiar kind of design, wierd or strange might be being more blunt. this was a design pic on his behalf for winning the award from AIGA for best design and best selling author. Here we can see use of very soft toned colors that don't seem to out balance each other making it work very well altogether. simple black and white photo has some relation to the page that seems to have a somewhat xerox halftone pattern. Nice.

This was my first set of sketches i had created for an idea for a logo. but i only tired to use the lettes H,M and S and thought of a few ways to make it possible to make them kinda blend and work together.

i actually saw this Poster in the Monicals pizza restaurant and found it really interesting as to how it made me follow the direction of where she was looking and the direction of where she was pouring the "oil" (guessing). i didn't realize it at first glance but i think there could be continuation and direction in this poster. Excuse how the picture is so dark but I think you will be able to make out most of what going on. i Shopped it a little hopefully its better.

Rejected Mag Cover

2008-10-08T11:39:00.001-07:00

This magazine cover had been rejected....there was no really description as too why but i thought it interesting to maybe find out from you guyz what you might think might be wrong or what iporvements could have been made. The KLUE like very other magazine does stand out and grab the attension to the view with its vivid red color, but im not really sure if the white background is a really good choice in this case. I myself am not a fan of white backgrounds because it seems to be verry common or empty. Very basic structure to the cover but i feel it need more info about whats happening or stories inside the magazine that could form healins on the outside of the page ceeping the image and focul-points clear.

The artist of this poster wanted to get a message out to the people about the political stand off that is being encountered today. In the background is a soft and subtle message that she clearly tries to send to the readers, and her choice of the cracking pattern really interested me as to why she might have used it.. something interesting about it as well is how she had fully justified the whit text. it does make it unique but i think might be hard for people to read the first time.

This illistration has so much going on that it can keep your eyes glued longer you look at it. th background has and awsome color that seems too work well with the ground of the poster....i find the colors myself to be very daring and probably wound't neccessarily work with a different style like poster. the effects of it really make it stand out.

Tribute

2008-09-16T20:09:00.000-07:00

Hahaha...what can i say...i think i was really lucky to find something like this. Its actually really cool. The artist really went into detail with this design of Bob Marley and is a really good example of what we had done in class, just way way more extensive.

Not Typography?

2008-09-10T16:27:00.000-07:00

Now im guessing some people wuld be looking at this post and might be wondering if this applaices to any of the fonts that we had worked on. Well not really. but i did like the way that they brought in the banner to from a very suttle and gracful and yet artistic "Join Us". where as the other pic would most likely be the complete opposite....its not nearly as invitiong or freindly as the other one, dont you think? but i still do very much like it.

This Clip i thought was very classic. Its classy and its retro all at the same time. i never would have expected the different color and font types to work together so well, but i guess that could be risky at times if your not careful.

Well this Pic i thought was very interesting....the color and the texture really emphasizes the scary parts of it all. And the model in the back makes a contribution as well. but the darkness sets the tone for me in the end.
