Chef Burger

These images were found in the HOW-magazine of June 09.  Chef Burger is the name of the restaurant in Kansas City, MO.  The way they designed the character (ChefBurger) and its restaurants identity is very eye catching.  The logo only uses two colors and works well with their bag.  The different burger icons on the coasters are because of the different toppings each burger has for its customers.  These icons have their own unique personality.  I really liked their idea, I thought it was very creative.  

The Venture Bros. Season 2

This image was found in the Communication Arts magazine - November 2008.  I really liked the style of the DVD packaging.  The front cover is kept simple and stands out with the color.  It has a very old vintage style poster look with strong bold, simple typography.  Also, I like how the inside bifold spread tells a story and is consistent with the colors.  

CD cover

This image was found in the April 2009 Computer Arts magazine.  Since we are working on our own CD cover for project 4, I was looking for some CD covers for inspiration and I found this one.  This CD cover was designed by Jasper Goodall who worked with the band MUSE.  He also created cover designs for all of the singles.  I thought this was very neat and different style from doing silhouette's.  The colors are electrifying and has that smokey feel to it.  Having the black background makes those colors pop.  Like the flow of the lines in the faces.  

Poster Design

I found this poster design in the 2004 Typography Workbook, by Timothy Samara.  The designer uses the year in the poster and what I like is that not only does the designer create an image, but communicates the theme of the lecture being promoted in a clear, direct, and humorous way.  Not to cluttered, clean, and color is used well in the typography.
