"Repstyle"

This is a page from Teen Vogue's issue from December/January 2013.  It is advertising Essie's new nail polish by showing off the nice metallic gold color and having it drip onto a plain white high heel.  It turns something plain and boring to something bold and shiny.  The word "repstyle" is in the same color of the nail polish and different font which makes it stand out and emphasize the boldness.  The whole ad is simple and feminine, yet playful.  I really liked this page because it was gold and I like the nail polish brand in general.

This week's blog post includes this image of a poster.  It's function is to draw someone's eye and to simply advertise flowers.  I was scrolling through my tumblr dashboard and came across this picture. The style is very bold and colorful.  The typography is great; the letters are all arranged in random order and has a simple font that doesn't draw attention away from the rest of the poster.  The quality of the artwork is great as well, having a clear image and design.  I really enjoyed the colors with all the pinks, purples, and reds.  The arrangement also caught my attention and I think that makes the poster more efficient.

Limitless: Our Flight As Eagles

This week's post includes the cover of my school's yearbook from last year that I helped create!  It's purpose is to draw attention to people so they will buy it and also advertise the school.  I thought the colors really made the cover stand out.  The purple shadow behind the black "Limitless" really makes it pop more.  I also really enjoy the eagle made out of constellations in the top right corner; it's pretty subtle and not too dramatic which I think ties the cover in together very nicely.  The title is in two different fonts and sizes so that it also isn't too boring.

Graphic Design History

I chose this image for this week's blog post.  It's very colorful and eye catching with all the different and bright colors as well as the pain splatter effect it has.
