Vintage Coffin

I saw this on the internet and thought it was interesting...

I really like the use of the typeface and text size to emphasize certain words in the advertisement for a vintage coffin. It's funny to me that someone had to think about how to market a vintage coffin...When I think about coffins, I think of death. How do you sell death and not have the ad gloomy? However, this graphic designer did a great job.  Also, I don't know if having the words form into an exclamation point was the goal of this advertisement but I think it's cool way to sell the message. I didn't realize that people shopped for coffins like you would shop for shoes..hmmm...who would of thought?

UNITY

The designer produce unity in this design by the use of proximity of the type and by the rainbow color palette. I think that this design is a good example of unity using typography.

Elegant Wordmark

Abigail's hotel is a simple but yet elegant wordmark. The positive and negative space here is used appropriately. I think that this workmark look very nice and give a sense of luxurious living.

Asymmertical Art

I thought these were a good pictures of closure ( active white space). They illustrate white space that was initially created to add to the design. I like the how the artist used abstract shape to create a visually stimulating image.

Black and White

I choose this picture because it is a great example of effective use of white space. The white space helps the eye determined the type of animal as well as color that is associated with that particular animal.

Textured Text

This designer has created texture with the use of foam/bubbles.

Eve is alluring...

I thought this display type was alluring! No, wonder Adam bit the apple...lol

GOOD DESIGN

This really caught my attention because of the color contrast and over lapping. I had a hard time figuring out what it said....but i got it now.

What Does That Say?!?!

This is pretty cool! I really like how the black type is upside down and it not really legible. But when you take a second look you realize the the refection of the black type spells out the word typography. How cool is that?

Until next time...

Jason Munn’s poster for the US band Liars
Jason uses type to reinforce the meaning of this statements, which looks like cut letters, to symbolize someone telling a lie or half truth. If you look a little closer you will see the "L" is really a black knife which could mean the someone is trying to hide it. I think that this speaks to use of assertive tone of the speaker. Overall, I would say that this poster reinforces: secrets, lies and deception.
