Fashion

I love fashion and art so this picture stood right out to me. It is very unique with the realistically drawn body and the flat geometric shapes and clothing. I only wish to maybe have seen it in different colors.

Maxine Gadd

GORGEOUS!!!!!! This drawing is by Maxine Gadd. All of her images are so amazing I could hardly pick one. Each of her drawing are extremely realistic. When I first saw this, I thought it was a photograph.

Pink Lady

The colors in this image are what first caught my eye. The more I kept looking at it, the more details I noticed. The glasses are not one solid object, they are made up of a lot of thin strokes.

The Jetsons

These are illustrations of The Jetsons by Bob Singer. He also do photos for Scooby Doo and the Flintstones which I have all been a big fan of since I was little. I enjoy that Singer always uses bright colors in his images. These are two perfect examples. He uses a heavy line on the characters and then draws a softer background to make the characters stand out. 

Fed Ex

I found this ad campaign for Fed Ex in Communication Arts magazine. I thought this was super creative. It is so simple, but it says so much. It shows you can ship something from New York all the way to Rio just by using a simple image.

Pop-Tone

This is an advertisement series for French Paper Company's line of color paper, Pop-Tone. I found it in Communication Arts magazine. I was drawn to it because of the bright colors and fun characters. They are each nice standalone designs.

Liselotte Watkins

This illustration is by Liselotte Watkins. It is one of many illustrations made for LUNDLUND fashion agency in Stockholm. Watkins' illustration are so amazing. They are each extremely detailed. Some are almost like an I Spy book.

So Stinkin' Cute!!!!!!!

I found this infograph on Pinterest. I thought it was the CUTEST thing! It is so creative. When I thought of an infograph, I never thought about using a baby. I just thought about cold hard facts. I really want to do this when I have a baby someday.

St. Louis Filmmakes Showcase

This poster is designed for the St. Louis Filmmakes Showcase and was designed by Carlos Zamora. When I saw this poster, I just really enjoyed it. It is very original and unique.

Tom Whalen

I am a huge fan of Tom Whalen! Since our project 2 is about the WPA design, I thought I would share his work. Lilo and Stitch is my favorite movie so I had to pick this one. His color choices are always amazing. He uses bright colors but then mutes them a little.

Factual Account

This is a promotional poster for a conference held by AIGA that I found in Communication Arts magazine. I just really like weird designs like this. Its already weird with the giant butterfly and the monkey wearing a viking helmet, but then they added the vintage look with the colors which makes the design even more interesting.

Target

I found this ad for Target in Communication Arts magazine. It is designed by Scott Thares. I always like Target ads because they have a simple color scheme, and they always put the logo in as many places at possible. For example, in this ad they made the squirrels acorn into the Target logo.

Barn Jam

I found this image in Communication Arts magazine. It was designed by Gil Shuler. I really like the color choices. At first I thought it was just an ad for jam, but then I realized it was actually designed for an event which, I thought was pretty cool.

The Wheels on the Van

I found this image in Computer Arts magazine. I love how they used so many shapes and objects to create the words and letters. They have a different design for each letter and do not use the same one twice.

Mental Case

I came across these in Communication Arts magazine. They are designed by Haley Johnson. I was really attracted to them because of their vintage 50s look and bright colors. I also really like the simpleness of the use of two colors.
