Layout Design- Snuggle ad

This ad stood out to me it is very playful and bright and the text goes well with the image.

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.

Form and Space

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.

JEAN L// FORM & SPACE.......... FEWHAKO

Above is an image of a sculpture that I saw on a webpage. It caught my attention immediately because of the style of character that was sculpted. In general, I enjoy pieces that have detail within the body’s structure. This sculpture has a lot of detail and the wood was carved to make a comic book character figure. The sculptor did a great job coloring the piece along with giving the anime character a dramatic tone to compliment the figure’s stance. As a drawing, this would be hard for most to pull off the right way. This figure was carved however and then painted on. That’s amazing to me. You can see how the light bounces off the deeper creases within the character’s suit. What I like the most is the choice of weapon, the way the pants looks like pants (as if they’re actually tighter in some areas), and the upper armor. It’s just a great demonstration of how an animation can be brought to life. You can even see the actual wood at the bottom where the paint fades. Crazy.

I came across this statue/ad in a conveinence store on my way home from school one evening. I thought it was an interesting way for them to try and promote selling alcohol considering that it is a statue of a penguin. Not many people would connect a statue of a penguin to drinking beer, so I'm not sure it is completely successful in that matter; However, the statue is placed right next to the freezer that is full of alcohol and it does grab your attention which would infact direct a customer to the freezer which would tempt that person to buy the product it was meant to sell.

Epcot ad

This ad for Epcot is simple and colorful. The large graphic and the small text balance each other out.

Its a good simple ad. quick and easy to read. The gecko has become very familiar. Went and got some last month

I thought it was clever to advertize to the parents of todays children with something they may remember from their childhood. The ad itself is a little busy.

I used this image for the stipling project. I love the colors. Its not just an ad
