Guns and art

I saw this this weekend in the movie theatre and thought it was a great advertisement for the Mechanic movie. For one thing it's a gun made of guns. I love the orange color against the black backdrop- it really makes the shape pop. The text is white and simple and does not take away from the object itself.

My newsletter

With all the programs I learned this semester, they all would benefit me with a newsletter.

InDesign would help me with layout and placement of the text. The guides in the program would help me align photos and type.

Photoshop would help me retouch and sharpen my photos. For instance, I could give myself whiter teeth or make background appear crisper.

Illustrator would help me by creating a logo for my organization. From there I can put it into indesign and brand the organization the newsletter is about.

Great Branding

It's the holiday and I always find Target has the best ads for store sales. Since target has a red logo- it works great with the Christmas ads. You add in a dog and a $67 Wii Fit and I would buy a lot of things from the store.

Logo a Gogo.

Logos and branding are everywhere.

Lets start with the bad. This logo is for Vehicle Emissions Inspection Program

The reason I don't care for it is because there is a lot going on. IF this logo is printed in black and white, the bird disappears into the background.

The Good

I love New York, but this icon is universally known. It's

simple and can be used in any color format

Apple is iconic and simple. You not only can change it accordingly, but I instantly know the icon without a font attached to it.

The wonders of color

Bad Color

I was doing an article on a candidate for congress, when they presented this picture on health care on their website. I wasn't sure if it as satirical or not. Even so, I it's a bad use of color since I can't read the signs. In addition, there is no consistency with the color. There is so much going on, I'm not sure where to look.

I love this Boh picture. It's simple, but you know its for the ravens football team by the simple purple background. Without reading I instantly think Ravens. The color works well in this piece.
