Book Cover

I found this book cover in the march/april issue of Print magazine and I thought it was a very clever and unxpected solution. I like the colors and its very feminine looking especially with the paper doll cut out in the corner.

Adobe site

This was on one of the up and coming artists of the adobe site and I thought it was an awesome looking movie poster. Movie posters have to be eye-catching to draw the crowds since millions were spent in production. If you have a great movie, but the marketing for it is sub-par, the movie isn't going to do well.

Design annual

I found this website for tokyo design lab in an art director's annual and absolutely loved the color scene. It's very vibrant and since it is a since centered in Japan, I think the design fits in well culturally. I wish I could produce work like this! Maybe someday I will!

I found this ad in the art director's 83rd annual award book. Its for the steppenwolf theatre. I thought the colors really popped and the focus was very evident (the card in the middle)

I also thought the background was subtle, but engaging as well.

Since we were discussing the psychedelic era this week, I thought this poster would be fitting. I love the colors and the type is near indecipherable such as other designs of the era. The curvilinear lines are really present here too.

Color Harmony

I think this is a good example of triadic color harmony, because the color choices are equally as far apart on the color wheel and various red, blues and yellows are present in the design.

Midgibyte Creations

This image is on the home page of midgibyte creation's (a design firm) website. I think it did a good job of creating the illusion of space in the sky by using color variation and linear perspective. This design makes you feel like you are able to jump into the scene.
