Homework 11 Design Firm

Since our homework this week was to research design firms, I loved the one I got to research and was very inspired because they have all kinds of awesome and funky posters. Since we are getting ready to work on our own posters, this design firm gave me a lot of inspiration. This particular poster combines realistic photographs as well as modern and funky graphics and type. I love how fun it is and how it makes your eye move around the page like a dance. I will definitely be referring to them more often. Thanks homework 11!

Homework 10

Since we were exploring CMYK Magazine this week, I went and found this little beauty. It's a poster created for people to enter a design contest that was from July. I love the in-your-face bold colors and how they pop on a black background. The typography is also very whimsical and creative and all the swirly lines leads my eye around the balloons and discovering new illustrations as it takes my eye around. It's so much fun and it would definitely entice me to want to enter this contest!

Fun Packaging

This is from Print magazine and I couldn't pass this one up. A design firm in California designed these earbud packages for Audiobox Accessories. What a cute and clever idea. It just makes you smile. I bet all the art directors and designers had a really fun time with this one. I particularly like the one with the blue hat and the white glasses. It's simple but very effective in what they were trying to do. Makes me want to go get some Audiobox earbuds!

This is from CMYK Magazine and this portrait is a watercolor by graphic designer Marta Spendowska. I love it when a graphic designer also has roots in painting or illustration. I myself am an avid painter and it is where I first got started into art and wanting to put my painting skills onto the computer. This image of Cate Blanchett is so beautiful, it has an abstract quality to it that I love, yet you can still recognize the actress.
