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.
