Street Baroque

This image was found in the Computer Arts Magazine - Feb. 09 issue.  I like how the illustration is not in the center and the area that is in color balances the area that is not in color.  Like the detail of the artwork, especially the "wood" part in "Hollywood" on how it blends in with the girls hair.  Also, I like how the artist reuses images for example shapes of stars, trees, clouds throughout image in a balanced way.  Seems like it is targeting cities where money is spent. 

Japan Advertisement

Found this ad in the Communication Arts magazine - Jan-Feb 09.  Really liked the flow of the typography used and how the texture of it looks like fabric.  The black background makes the advertisement standout.  It is very creative and has a 3D look to it.  

Meteor Ad

I found this ad in the Computer Arts Magazine Jan-09.  Meteor is a Irish mobile phone company and their aim was to improve awareness of Meteor's range of mobile internet services that includes music and media downloads.  I like how it displays nice colors, movement, line variations, and cool music images that flow very well with the phone that they are advertising.  

Company Called "Be"

This image was found in the January 09 issue of Communication Arts Magazine.  This new company called "Be" wanted to create their own identity.   They found Sawdust that specializes in design and gave them the opportunity to demonstrate what they were capable of doing.  "Be" hosts an array of new music acts , DJ's, and artistic performances in venues around London.  I think they did a good job of reflecting the nature of the organization.  Also, the nice organic flow that it has and how the design integrates the face of the cropped woman was very interesting.
