Color Graphics

I got this from Color Graphics book at the Parkland Library.  I love the simple but eye catching black and whit photos and the the colorful hand written font.  Really good composition.

A Clock Work Orange

mine above

 

This is a foreign poster of the book, "The Clock Work Orange." from Baseline magazine.  I love the different versions of the this cover over time and in different countries.  I had done a lot of research on this story.  This was my own interpretation of it. 

PRINT hands

 

This was one of the covers from a PRINT magazine at the Parkland Library.  Initially this attracted me because of the hand from the Creation of Adam.  It reminded of the web page I did for Project 1 in my Graphic Design class.  I love the context it was put in and shows a lot about the change in style through history.

Inspirational quote

 

 I found this inspirational quote for AIGA from the PRINT magazine at Parkland College.  I like it a lot.  I think it a good way of looking at what designers can potentially do.  This quote can also apply to vast amount of other passions that people.  I also like the way it was presented with a quirky, sheik girl holding it. 

Candy Sweets

I got this from the market packaging book from the Parkland Library. I love the uniform position and drizzle of the chocolate covered sticks. It also shows an enticing image of the product which will is sales. I also like the way the that "RICH" was split by the stick.

AIAWA

This design for the AIWA: All India Animal Welfare Association, which is a public organization towards caring for animals.  It was done by a well known Indian Graphic Designer, Sudarshan Dheer.  India is famous for being the place of love, even for its pets.  In the illustration for the logo one can clearly see affection for the dog by the position and gesture of the hands.  I love the fluidity of the image, right down to the dog's tail.  The type is pleasingly contrasting, having large, bold and straight lines.  However, the type and the illustration still fit well together to work as a successful whole.  

Pen Packaging

I found this packaging example from the "Less is More" book in the Parkland Library.  The packaging itself is very stark and rather dull.  There is not color, the composition is straight forward, and the type is basic.  What attracted me to this is what the type said.  I now realize that the composition was mostly likely intentionally made plain to not detract from the words' meaning.  Another good example of that technique is Helvetica.  If you look closely, the pens have imprints of the "List of Essentials" by Jack Kerouse.  An example of one is 3. "try never to get drunk outside yr house"  It is not something you would expect to find on a pencil, let alone an very generic looking one.  Overall, I like it for its deceiving nature.
