I chose this vintage poster for its contrasting cool snow enveloped tree and (cold) hard edged German font against the warm fading orange background.

Denabi State Park, Alaska

The mountains and lake on this poster are well balanced and the lighting is beautiful. Although this is done in landscape view I can easily imagine it cropped to fit the requirements of our project. The colors shown here are not flat colors but would be easy to convert. The tonal values of this poster could be changed to spots of purples and pinks. Altogether this poster is very pleasing to the eye and gives a little warmer feeling than many Alaskan photos do. It is an wonderful view to invite travel in America.

National Parks Travel Poster

I chose a poster of Shenandoah Nation Park, I am drawn to this poster most because the sense of movement it gives off. The stream is centered in the composition yet it doesn't lose interest because of the foreshortening of the water down the landscape. The foreshortening makes the viewers eye move up and down which helps the artist control where they want the information to be read. The color of the rock and greenery gives a strong sense of where the light is coming from. Also, I think the best part of this poster is that it isn't something extravagant, you really feel like you could be that close.

i like the way they use the colors to indicate depth and the fact that the im looks 3-D but its all flat colors. it also look like texture that you could feel even if it just a picture

See America

Nice, detailed WPA poster with fairly normal colors. What I like the most is how the different size of trees throughout the composition really help depict scale.

National Parks Travel Posters

I like how the colors are used in all four pictures none of them are too much they just kinda flow together.

I've never been to any of these place but just by looking at the poster it makes me want to go and actually look at the images that are on the poster.

Montana

.

Created by Richard Halls in the 1930s for the WPA. This piece uses an almost color blocking approach to simplify the beautifully complex scenery to invite in an audience looking for simple relaxation.

Yellowstone

I like the composition in this poster. I like how Old Faithful is put off to the left side and not right in the middle. The poster does a good job at capturing the movement in Old Faithful and the sky. I like the colors used in this poster they are very dramatic and lively, they have a nice contrast to them.

See America. Welcome to Montana

I thought that this poster was really beautiful. I love mountains and the thought of the clean mountain air that is complimented by the beauty of the scenery, so this image really hit home for me. America has so many beautiful mountain ranges that I found this to be a really great representation of the natural scenery in our country.

Hawaii The Island of Volcanoes

I chosen Hawaii because I think it has a unique view of volcanoes, the surrounding body of oceans, and just plain nature. I wouldn't mind visiting this place once more. My opinion of this place cool place to be at.

I like the Grand Canyon, because I like the colors. It reminds me of my travels. A few years ago I had the opportunity to visit the Grand Canyon, just the colors and the vast beauty. I would live to be able to take my family so they could enjoy it.

Devils Tower

Devils Tower (Lakota: Mato Tipila, which means "Bear Lodge" is a monlithic igneous intrusion or volcanic neck located in the Black Hills near Hulett and Sundance in Crook County, northeastern Wyoming, above the Belle Fourche River. The Devils Tower is the United States National Monument. The name was misinterpreted to mean Bad God's Tower, but was later shortened to Devils Tower. Going back to the Jurassic period the Devils Tower still stands with grace. This dark red sandstone, interbedded with shale is extraordinary. It looks like someone had chisled off the columns of the tower. Being a fan of Stephen Spielberg, one can never forget the Devils Tower film debut in the movie "Close Encounters of the Third Kind". The Devils Tower is a historical, unforgettable sight.

Having visited several caves in Missouri and Oklahoma last Spring, this poster caught my attention. The monochromatic blue color scheme conveys the cool, dark and damp feeling of a living cave system. The large, lighter colored stalagmite against the smaller, darker colored silhouettes in the foreground and the less defined, darker stalactites in the background create a wonderful sense of space. The small figures at the base of the stalagmite gives one the sense of scale, bringing home the immensity and majesty one might encounter while visiting various cave systems.

FYI, if you're traveling through Missouri, check out the Meremec and the Onondaga Caverns. You will definitely experience what this poster is about!

Green Thumb

The designer of this logo is Von Glitschka of Glitschka Studios.
The Green Thumb was created to show structure, and recognition towards the environment. The designer used a great source of green colors to symbolize the leafs blooming from the thumb, overall it works really well.

Osaka Sushi Fish

The designer of this logo is Dan McElhattan of M3 Advertising Design. I like this design because he used a Japanese type writing style in the tail, which also gives the fish movement and a fresh look making you think of only the freshest sushi in town. I would eat at this place just because of the logo.

Wicked Combo

This design was created by Luke Baker. The logo's main designer is Luke Baker and it was created for Papa Murphy’s: Fishers, Indiana. It get’s to the point of being slightly evil but the food is sinfully good like a Yin-Yang.

SUNDOG

This design was created by Jamie Karlin, for the client Sundog. I chose this design because I thought it was a good choice of a design and it clearly show what the client wanted, and it is simple and to the point. I also like the relationship between the dog collar and the sun a very good way to combined the two.

This logo was designed by Alexander Lanevski for Ufa City Hooka e-shop. (Indstry- Hooka Entertainment Market). I think this logo is effective because not only does it incorporate the image of a hooka, it also includes the first letter of the company without actually using a letter. I also think it's clever how they put sunglasses on the hooka and turned it into a smiley face. (:

Tempo Models

Design firm: Karl Design Vienna

Client: Tempo Models

Illustrator: Andreas Karl

I enjoy the integration of the camera symbol combined with the font style and scale.

The typography has a flow that resembles fonts used by camera brands since the early sixties.

Nice use of a legible company name that simultaneously presents its logo as a letter.

Michael Jackson Memorial Logo

This is a logo that was created for an MTV video montage commemorating Michael Jackson. It is undoubtedly representative of MJ's form and PERFECTLY uses his shoes as the universally recognizable element.

Champion International Corporation

This design was made by Crosby Associates for the Champion International Corporation. The combination of simple lines and color to disclose the company's abbreviation make this a viable logo.

Literacy Volunteers

This design was created by the company Dotzero Design. The logo's main designers were Jon and Karen Wippich and it was created for the company Literacy Volunteers. I chose this design because I thought it was simple and to the point. The book and its turning pages are a very clear symbolic representation of literacy, which is obviously the main goal of the Literacy Volunteers company.

STELLFIRE ENTERTAINMENT

This was done by Chris Taylor of the Creative Beard design firm. The client is obviously involved in the entertainment industry which is evident and a prominent factor when looking at the design. The way Taylor blends the silhouette of a gun and a camera is the dominant factor and pun intended in many ways. His approach may have been to use film terms to his advantage as well as the Company's name. For example, the fire part of Stellfire Entertainment could have been used in many ways but he chose to use the idea of a gun. The association that filming is also called "shooting" in film terms was a pretty good door way that he chose. I also appreciate the fact that the image has sort of a ghost like feel to it. Also associating it to other factors in the industry like it could be a negative in film. I believe the simple characteristics and the obvious message it portrays makes it a successful logo that people will immediately recognize.

Design Firm: Fixative Marketing
Designer: Ben Straka
Client: Bread for the City

I chose this design because I feel it is simple and to the point. I was looking for a non-profit corporation with a simple logo that could be used on stationary as well as signs and other advertising. This is a good example.

Dotzero Design

This logo was created for a furniture design business.

The designer were John and Karen Wippich.

Client name was Rich Henderson.

I personally like this logo because the R is like wood grain and the H is positioned to where it looks like a chair and just by looking at that you can tell that this has something to do with furniture.

I also like how the H doesn't get lost in front of the R.

Bruce Clark Productions

This design caught my attention right away. The lines clearly bring out an eye, but as one looks closer, without knowing the title, one can see the letter "c". This is a very good combination of lines to form the eye for sight to be able to see and understand design.

World Summit on Sustainable Development Logo

The Summit was held in Johannesburg in 2002. I couldn't find a specific designer, but it seems there was a contest for the design.

What I love about this logo is how the dove is also a hand tenderly cupping the globe. The solid form of the bird/hand conveys a sense of weight, a solid foundation on which to build. The open lines of the globe convey a sense of fragility, something that must be handled with care, and the sprouting plant conveying growth that's nurtured in a balanced way (the symmetry of the leaves, and the sense of containment within the form of the globe)

Overall, it really works to convey the message of peace and the thoughtful stewardship of our home planet.
