Harvey Nichol


Harvey Nichol is one of my favorite designers.  I have always been into fashion and fashion ads.  Harvey Nichol has very different ads.  I love getting my Vogue Magazine to find his ads.  I'll save some of them to help me become what I want to be.  I want to design an ad like that.  


 This ad, to me, means she is thinking a lot about her beauty.  Her "thought bubble"  has taken over and knocked everyone down.  He has a lot of ads like this one that has the "thought bubble".


These ads are just trying to make a statement and I think they have.  I can't wait for next month's ad to come out to see what else they can do.  These ads make me want to buy Harvey Nichols clothing and cologne.

trucking.



This is one of the trucks that carry a certain kind of drink.  I'm not sure what the drink is but i thought it was really neat how it was displayed.  It looks 3D from this angle.  I had found it at google.com.  It's a simple design with a lot of white space.

sunkist.

Sunkist soft drink uses the psychedelic type faces.  It's was part of that era.  I found this in my fridge and thought of my blog and that it was psychedelic so I googled "sunkist drinks" to find a better picture.  I think the quality of this typeface is perfect for this drink and that era.

Harvey Nichols


Harvey Nichols is a great fashion designer and has a great perfume line.  This is one of my favorite designers and thought this was a great ad for his style of clothing.  I found this ad on his website harveynichols.com.tr.  I really like this ad and how it was put together.

lucky strikes



This is an ad for "Lucky Strike Cigarettes"  It's trying to tell their audience to smoke and if you smoke you'll get slimmer.  I found this online.  It is another example of Art Deco.  I think this is a good design for that era.  It attracted me for being a little different.

Vogue

This is a magazine cover from a 1928 issue of Vogue.  I found it online at vogue.com.  This is an art deco theme.   I think it is a good quality.   I would like to look at this magazine to see what kind of articles and fashion they had at this time.  It attracted me because this is one of my favorite magazines.

Pepsi, please.


I found this ad in an old book my grandma had.  It's focusing on a couple with a Pepsi.  They're at the drive-in.  It's a retro-style design.  I liked this piece because it was an older ad for Pepsi instead of the ads we have now for Pepsi.

Nike


It's the new Nike Meteors ad.  It's showing off a new line of shoes.  I saw this ad on a billboard in Chicago.  The design is very modern and will attract a lot of young people.  Nike can spend money on ads so it's very high quality work. These are my favorite brand of workout shoes.

smart water


This is one of the Smart Water ads.  I saw it last week on a board in Chicago.  It's an ad wanting people to drink the water.  It's mainly black and white with a little bit of blue.  It's another modern design.  I think this is a good ad.  It attracted me because I like this actress and I drink Smart Water.

It's a woman's shoe and a man's shoe.  I found it on a google search for graphic design examples.  It is for a marketing company.  http://www.jayholdenmarketing.com/marketing-services/graphic-design.php  It's on the first part of the website basically say "welcome to the website."  It's very orginal and looks like it was made in a couple of seconds.  It attracted me because I didn't know what it was for until I went to the website.  It made me want to know what it was used for.

YMCA Logo

This is the YMCA's new logo.  Depending on what the logo is on [brochure, websites, programs...] it will be different colors.  Its function is to attract people with the colors and new look of the YMCA.  I saw it on the YMCA brochure.  The style and typography is more modern than the older logo.  It attracted me because it is something new and different.  It's not just called "YMCA" now it is also called "the Y"  because so many people refer to it as that.  The designers wanted to put that into the logo as something that reflects on what they know it as.
