Praise Who?

I thought this was cool!  What a great way to emphasize the  meaning of praise. The choice of  color and the cut outs with their hands up is symbolic to praise and worship. Lastly, the shadow illustrates that something has raisin, possibly a light source, the sun or God. I like  that this is open to interpretation of what the cut outs are really doing. Moreover, whose to say that they're praising God? Maybe its a dictator they're praising? All in all, I believe this is a great interpolation of the word PRAISE.

Until Next Time...

Good Karma is In











 

Found this picture online and thought it was cool. I really like the use of typeface as clothing and its usage of color. In class, we've talked about emphasis and it displayed here in the words 'good' and 'IN'.

HA!..So true!
















I like the designers use of the font and cool colors. The needled and thread concept is a nice touch. The designer used emphasis on the word Men & Equal in a playful manner. Very Nice!

...Until next time

Selling Vintage Coffins???


I saw this on the internet and thought it was interesting...

I really like the use of the typeface and text size to emphasize certain words in the advertisement for a vintage coffin. It's funny to me that someone had to think about how to market a vintage coffin...When I think about coffins, I think of death. How do you sell death and not have the ad gloomy? However, this graphic designer did a great job.  Also, I don't know if having the words form into an exclamation point was the goal of this advertisement but I think it's cool way to sell the message. I didn't realize that people shopped for coffins like you would shop for shoes..hmmm...who would of thought?

Until next time...
