Shoe Ad?!

Hey everyone!  This is an advertisement for Rain & Duck Boots.  Its function is to persuade people into buying their products.  I was in Macy's and came across this in the shoe section.  The design reminds me a little of the style art deco because of the curves and shapes.  The quality is fairly high.  What attracted me the most were the raindrops because they contained some of the patterns from the shoes in them.  The black and red colors also caught my eye since they are often seen together.

Hopscotch Music Festival

Here we have a creative poster for the 2011 Hopscotch Music Festival!  It's function is to interest people into attending.  I saw it on Pinterest as I was exploring the website.  Its design is simple, consistent, and fun.  The dates and the title of the festival was incorporated into the guitar which was a great touch to the poster.  The date and the words "music festival" are in the same font while "Hopscotch" is in a more bold one.  I think that the simplicity of the poster makes it more beautiful; the little design that makes up the guitar is creative which is what also attracted me to this piece.  Even though it isn't very colorful, the yellow really pops.

Snow White Movie Poster

This week's blog post includes a movie poster for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.  Its function is to promote the movie and get people to watch it.  It also shows that there are different designs of movie posters and that the original posters aren't always the best.  The design of this poster is simplistic, but it definitely works.  'Snow White' is in a simple text and doesn't draw attention away from the apple.  The poster does a great job of promoting the movie; it's simple, but it's context shines through.  I was attracted by the eaten apple having a heart in the core.
