"This is america" by Donald "Childish Gambino" Glover This is the cover for Donald Glover recent single; "This is America." They took inspiration from the music video which is very politically controversial. as you can tell the hand written style font gives another perspective compared to the image it self. thus giving the cover a double meaning.

This is the logo for the company I work for, this design is terrible compared to other lawn care companies around the champaign area. the reason i don't like it is because it looks like some type of candy, it reminds me of Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory . an example is the the nerds candy above.

Chanel logo This is the Chanel logo, this is a very popular designer name brand around the world. Their font of choice works perfectly adding a contemporary style to something elegant and high class.

Advertisement for American Spirits tobacco product. Everyone knows that tobacco does harm to a persons health, but the layout of this add makes it look like its all fun without consequences, everything is symmetrical,  every thing aligns perfectly and the color scheme is great too, makes the product pop out more, and the warning labels are just there, they did it where its the last thing you see. 

Computer arts, May 2018 The main emphasis in this article is actually the billboard, they find a new way to advertise the online dating site called okcupid. The add and website is something that is available today, but the way they designed their billboard is retro. it has that late 80's early 90's vibe,  with the bright colors and the font style they use.

The Dark Knight movie poster, The Dark Knight 2008 In this poster the emphasis is actually the typography, the picture is just there to make the viewers focus more on the phrase. I personally think this is genius, the way "why so serious" is written is kinda childish but at the same time sinister considering who is writing it and with what he wrote it with.

Audi advertisement, Motor trend magazine If you haven't notice by now i consider my self a gear head as well. I originally got inspiration from this add to work for my magazine spread project. the reason i like this so much is for the use of the white space, and how the design shows speed as well, it makes the A6 like its moving towards you.

Rolling stones This is an article on Robert Grossman, This article has a different style compared to the other ones in the magazine, it has more of a retro vibe, but still the layout of the article still works, a little plain but readable.

Vogue magazine This is the cover for vogue magazine which is a fashion magazine. I chose this because of the type they are using for the cover, and the color scheme. it shows a lot of elegance and goes well with the picture of actress Margot Robbie.

Inspirational posters I chose this because it has like a 70's font but yet seem to be urban at the same time, its a very playful font but the quote says other wise. and the red background with the stencil look on it makes it pop out.

Computer arts, may 2018 This spread i found in one of the graphic design magazines. i actually the way its set up, very easy to follow and the color scheme works, makes it look like a colage.

Pull Over, Inked magazine June 2018 The reason i chose this is not because the way its set up, in reality i chose this because of the font used for the tittle of the article and the way the picture of the cop got my attention. it has like a speeding feeling by the way the words are set up.

Add by Levi's Jeans The bold, hand-drawn look to the decorative type offers personality and emphasis in this advertisement, its able to catch the viewers attention, and with the phrase use its just really smart. and for that reason i decided to share this.
