Hey man nice shirt



This is one my favorite shirts. I dont normally like wearing shirts that are promotion for a brand like Hurley or whatever but this one is awsome and you can't really tell its Hurley other than the H on the skulls. This is definitely digital style because of its messy composition and unreadability.
The alignment on the shirt makes for an interesting composition.

My cereal does not tear up the roof of your mouth!!



This is the front of Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch. Its main purpose is basically to attract people walking by at the store to chance getting the crap ripped out of the roof of their mouths. This is definitely Kitsch with his over-enthusiastic expression and the exaggeration of perspective and the overall cereal eating experiance. The quality is fairly low grade but that's Kitsch for ya. I picked this example because of his creepyness and that I was looking at the box and realized that this is very Kitsch and wished that I had thought about just how Kitsch most cereal boxes are.

ZOMBIES VS ROBOTS nuff said...




This is an advertisement for something that sounds freaking awsome....Zombies Vs Robots! ZOMBIESvsROBOTS is a 24 page graphic tale of....a robot fighting a zombie....yes I know that's amazing. This add came out of another graphic zombie book I own called ZOMBIES! no.5 feast. The typography is fairly modern whereas the background art is more handmade. I think the body art of the advertisement is very well done. I like the ambiguity of many of the details. The typography pulled me in as well with its use of bold font to separate words and still be successful.

IT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND



This is a poster for Blowing in the Mind by Bob Dylan and it was done by Martin Sharp. This image really struck me because of its muted color scheme which is a personal preference of mine. I also enjoy the repetition of the circular shapes. This image is very psychedelic with its misshapen type and its overall trippy composition.

Guerilla One!



This is from a very super awesome website called Juxtapoz.com. I like this one because of its very strong composition that really grabs you. I think I would call this art deco mayhaps? It reminds me of the Metropolis movie poster.

Left 4 Dead



This is the box of Left 4 Dead i scanned in at home. Aside from being an awesome video game I think the graphic design on the box is pretty great. Like a lot of zombie movies and such it sticks with the hand made type and all the things that could possibly be called kitsch. But mainly the type is my focus here.

Want a Fanta?



This is an ad for strawberry Fanta. I liked this one because it a nice example of how photo manipulation can be used in Graphic Design which is cool since that is one of the things I enjoy doing alot.
