ADup! Closer Than You Think

I love this advertisment! Another show not tell ad that incorporates interaction from customers.  This university contructed a bench with a desk on the side.  Great concept!

ADup When Sparks Fly

I love this ad.  It shows and doesn't tell so much.  I love the use of the white background.  The match with the houses on the stick is a very creative concept.

Structure Can Still Be Versatile! Mag Layout 101

Who Says Structure Can't Be Versatile?  I love the layout of this mag.  With as much structure as it has, it still is versatille.  I love the alignment and the way the repetition presented in this layout.  The Images balance well with the typography! Haute!

When Gestalt Shows Up In Mag Layouts!

I love magazine layouts!  Images and words have a way to captivate us even without reading the text.  I love the way the black and white balances the color to the left.  I like how the layout of the text does not overpower the image.  Great Use of Gestalt in the Typography!  The grids of text are clean and crisp! Haute!

What is Africa To Me?

Poet, Countee Cullen’s poem, Heritiage came to mind when I viewed this poster. In this poem he asks the question, “What is Africa to me…”.  This poster helps to construct a feeling that is felt deep in the soul.  I immediately fell in love with the poster for so many reasons.  I love the way the image is in the design of a ship as well as a man with a bow and arrow!  The imagery is stricking! LOVE THIS POSTER!

Breathe of Fresh Air?

This poster would catch anyones attention!  The balance and color choice work will with the concept.  I love the photography captured in the gun with the contrast of the sky and butterfly. The typography and image balance well without confusing the importance of the image or the typography.
