Observations: Image


Mercedes-Benz AD-This Ad really caught my attention. I was held more by the image than the communication. But, after figuring out the image I finally made my way to the text. I think it works because it's a print Ad and you can spend some time with the layout. It's a really interesting image and fun to try and figure out.


Olly Moss-These Posters are so simple and beautiful. Even though they start with a simple silhouette, the imagery inside tells and epic story of the 3 different movies. The colors are also very intense and help support the imagery and the mood. The placement of design elements is wonderful in this series as well. For example, the two moons in the first version that make C3PO's eyes. In the second, cloud city making the iconic detail of BobaFett's helmet. And the third, the branches making up the shape of Darth Vaders eys.



Draplin Design Co.-Iowa all the way poster. Draplin is from the midwest and his design is greatly influenced by that. He also has done many political influenced pieces. This piece is a celebration of the state and all that it has to offer. His color choice was influenced by cornfields, sunsets, harvest and autumn in Iowa. The images are representations of content that was born or created in Iowa. I really love his art and his use of flat color....that detail is consistent and a red thread through all his work.
