I found this advertisement and I thought it was clever it's for an advertisement for a plastic surgery business....very funny! It's also successful because it is very attention getting at first I just noticed the random nose that intrigued me to look at it more closely.

We did page layouts this week so thought it was appropriate to blog a layout. This is a 4 page spread. I like how all the color are repeating thought out the different pages as well as lines that flow through, they really keep your eye successfully moving through all of them.

I thought this business card was cool. It's not really type related, yet I still thought it was good design, it caught my eye right away. At first I thought it was a hair comb, like for a hair dressers business card then I realized it was a mic for a radio presenter! I guess the idea could work the same but as a comb, there's an idea!

I thought this poster was cool. I like the way they integrated doodled title to there songs throughout the poster. I also like when posters look hand-draw I feel like it just give it a more authentic look, like all the cool music poster done in the 60's-80's.

I chose a magazine cover this week because this will be Project 3! I have always liked magazine covers, which is surprising since I usually like clean design and magazine covers always seem so chaotic. Yet, the logo in this is clean I guess, I believe the typeface is Franklin Gothic Extra Condensed.. It is used in the exact same way and usually whom ever is on the cover's head is usually in the same exact place, cover the same letter on ever issue, so this unifies it.

I thought this set was cool. It's kind of a mix between project 2 and project 3 cause they have business cards but there's also an event similar to the buzz cover well be doing next. I really like the mix of colors as well as the real cartoon and pop culture feel they have.

I found this a while ago, and though it was really neat. Since with this project we are doing letters heads, envelopes and business cards, I thought I would show that their are tons of cool business cards out there. They no longer have to be boring.
