GUM


This is so clever! It may be hard to tell in the photograph I took, but all around the center text, it has chewed up gum, with an arrow below it pointing to a trash can! I love this design. The pionk color represents bubble gun and the typography goes along perfect with the feel that this poster is trying to put out. This would have caught my eye if I were to see it on the side of the road.

Found this in Print Magazine's August Issue 2010.

Changing My Mind


This is a really cool book cover! It has the art nouveau look to it and is very simple and elegant. Art nouveau is one of my favorite times of graphic design. I think that some of my designs are very much influenced by art nouveau. Back to the cover though, the colors go very well together and overall I think that this would be a book that I would pick up and read the synopsis.

King Dairy

This is a very cool design. The use of the milk jug and the typography is very upbeat and fun yet professional. This design really caught my eye. Its simple and gets straight to the point. Typography in graphic design has to be one of my favorite aspects and this design used typography very well.

This was from December 2010's Print Magazine.

Early Bird

This is the design for the Early Bird granola packaging. It really makes use of the whole label and has no white space. I think its a very clean yet eye catching design. I'm big on labels, if I see one that is very well designed then I pick it up and look at it, then I decide if I'd like to try that food or buy that shirt. I would probably buy this granola if I saw it in the store... yes I like to judge books by their cover (:

Found from Print Magazine's October 2010 issue.

New York Public Library's Make Change Campaign

This is from the New York Public Library's make change campaign. It was designed by Matthew Poor. I think its western inspired yet has a modern feel to it. I think its brilliant. Its eye catching and I think they pulled alot of "change" in from it.

2012 Olympic Logo


This is the design for the 2012 Olympics! So retro and ballsy! They picked bright and very bold colors for the logo. Its simple and clean. I will be curious to see what people say about it if they keep the logo for 2012!

Found this in Print magazine, August 2010.

Lost

These are different types of designs for a campaign called Lost. I think that the designs are clever and eye catching. They've come up with several different ways to these posters different but all have the same meaning. It's fun to look at a design and piece apart the meaning.
