6 Interesting (Still) Graphic Images In The Environment
This background GRAPHIC { justice for all } in the above black and white photo was taken at a Starbucks in SoHo New York a few years back on Christmas day 2011. I asked my wife to pose across from an older gentleman to communicate an untold message "aging in contrast to youth is often unjust and has little justice at times." Many are treated as if they no longer are contributors to society. The GRAPHIC here is nicely done in bold letters and a sort of urban typeface, font styles contribute greatly to telling stories and messages ( without speaking a word ). I love its simple form and spacing.
This colorful GRAPHIC image was on an older Communication Art's magazine. I love the way they use color, white space and shape in each of the graphic applications. The graphics mixed in range makes the magazine cover interesting and captures a readers attention with little effort. Great job at communicating what is inside of the magazine.
This GRAPHIC image hangs on a wall in my home. I talked my wife into posing for the photo and later I reworked it in photoshop. It is oversized at over 45 inches. I designed the piece after a trip to New York where I was stimulated by all of the art and visual images in the city. The graphic fonts are modern and thin, spaced far apart to represent the modern fashion industry. Off of the "N" I used an ear ring to represent trends in the industry. The colors used were polarizing to garnish attention and highlight the text. The signage was used to showcase "Rockstar Fashion Global" I like the modern look of the GRAPHICS used.
I love the GRAPHIC design used on this storefront in New York City. It was simple; yet, the clean use of type and colors communicate easily what the store is and brings about a level of trust from those entering the store. Graphics should always tell a story without having to guess what they are trying to say. Simple is always best and shows well here.
The simplicity and campaign of most of David Sedaris' work is often laced with bold and simple graphics, many of which are comedic in nature. As in his writings these GRAPHIC illustrations give you a sense of who he is, what he writes and that he is actively involved at telling stories. The richness of the simple images, mixed with sharp comedy makes for a great campaign when he tours. I love the use of basic colors and simple illustrations and photographs he uses. The above were from a poster in downtown Asheville, a theatre poster and a CD cover from one of his audio books.
This is a great example of selling a brand with few words and images. The iconic GRAPHIC logo speaks for itself and the Chanel company. The stark black and white add value and quality to the display in New York City. The logo is very simplistic; yet, powerful in its bold characters used.
6 Interesting (Still) Graphic Images From Online
I love the over all GRAPHICS use in this online landing page for Banana Republic. The use of black and white, the thin type face and conservative use of the wavy lines at the bottom add richness to the brand and site. The over all feel is very inviting to shoppers. CLEAN.
This online GRAPHIC image was used to invite someone to enter a process of registration, to take action and to convert an online shopper to an actual purchaser of the products. The simple use of the red wording "it" is compelling and grabs the viewers attention. The graphics are all clean and the silhouettes add to the look of the design without clutter. I love it's simplicity.
This GRAPHIC has a French feel to it. The use of spacing the bold letters and limited use of type opens the space up and allows the viewer to process what the site is asking them to do "shop, enter here." THis is a great example os less is more and adds to the theme of the brand.
I love the way they used the letters at the top, the colors and italics to add interest. The GRAPHIC works well with the page and the images below. It connects the page and the lower use of multiple images draws the shopper in. The use of the green graphics works well behind the clothing. THis entire page has a campaign feel, but not to heavy on the sale message.
Simplicity wins again! The GRAPHICS used here are perfect! Not too crowded and interesting enough to get your attention. This online invite would easily get someone's attention. The colors used compliment the graphics used and the olive and green work well together. The white borders do a great job at separating the two messages. Clean and simple.
Instructional GRAPHICS and retaining students/users interests is done really well on this online site - lynda.com. The use of colorful images, easy steps and great instructional videos make for a great experience. The graphics used highlight versatile learning categories and group the subjects very well. The navigation and use of bold GRAPHICS are helpful in the process of learning.
