Asymmertical Art

I thought these were a good pictures of closure ( active white space). They illustrate white space that was initially created to add to the design. I like the how the artist used abstract shape to create a visually stimulating image.  

Black and White

I choose this picture because it is a great example of effective use of white space. The white space helps the eye determined the type of animal as well as color that is associated with that particular animal.

Typography that creates texture

 

This designer has created texture with the use of  foam/bubbles.

Display This!

This really caught my attention because of the color contrast and over lapping. I had a hard time figuring out what it said....but i got it now.  

 

I thought this was eye catching, because ....well it said 'LICK ME, I'm delicious' for god sakes! lol This has a display type and a secondary type..cool.

 

 

I don't think this is a good example of display type but it sure is alluring!

 

What Does That Say???

This is pretty cool! I really like how the black type is upside down and it not really legible. But when you take a second look you realize the the refection of the black type spells out the word typography. How cool is that?

Until next time...

Jason Munn’s poster for the US band Liars

Jason uses type to reinforce the meaning of this statements, which looks like cut letters, to symbolize someone telling a lie or half truth.  If you look a little closer you will see the "L" is really a black knife which could mean the someone is trying to hide it. I think that this speaks to use of assertive tone of the speaker. Overall, I would say that this poster reinforces: secrets, lies and deception.

Type that compliments!

I think this type really compliments the theme here. I think the uses serif and san serif creates a distinction between two logos. I also like the manipulation of the mother and child logo.
