Form and Space


I came across this statue when I was in Ybor with some friends. It caught my eye first for it being a fountain and then I started to look at it for all the animals worked into it. The most interesting part about it is that the male mermaid is all covered up staring at the female mermaid who is full frontal. I just thought it was ironic. After starting at the statue, that first brought us from the street, we started to look at the school, Tampa University, it’s a nice tactic to bring people from the street to come look at the school.

"Good as Gold" by Donald Lipski

I found this photo last year when working on a project and have always enjoyed the nature of the piece. This sculpture is a display piece for the Kansas City libraries, and is a unique piece. Seemingly unsupported, this ring of books invites people into the library as they enter. I personally enjoy the composite nature of the ring, as it is comprised of a very diverse assortment of books, with a great range of shapes and sizes. It almost gives a since of movement as if a stack of books exploded in a circular fashion.

The original photographer linked the piece to the Stargate, as if it is a gate way into reading. While I agree with their sentiments, I find it to be much more interesting to look at then read. I personally think it would be interesting to see what books comprise the sculpture, possibly giving an insight into the personal views of the artist.

Blue Jean Cascade

Multitude of forms.
Repetition AND variation.
Gradient of denim color.
Texture - folds, creases - selling comfort.
Very subtle, small, white font allows for the boldness of the image.

Bumble Bee Princess


Fanciful. Imaginative. Vibrant. Adorable.

Bright color punch at center with text below and products at bottom creates good direction within the composition of the layout.

Interesting image cropping - with the head beyond the frame the figure becomes anonymous, an image for the consumer to try on.

Awesome comparison layout here. easy to read and follow. The title is nicely placed creating nice pyramid hierarchy.

I like how this layout uses the arrangement of the clock to represent time for the graphics and steps in the text.

I found this while in Atlanta back in October. I thought it was strange to have such a big statue next to the building. The fish is actually made of steel and as you can see is very tall. I like how it curves to mimic a fish actually jumping out of water and the way they made it look very grungy works well with the statue.

Latin club flyer


i was handed out this flyer this weekend after a latin concert in orlando, i really dont like the way certain flyers are laid out just like this one with the different fonts, colors and hard to read information.
