Oyster Bake


This is the only event my parents and I ever attended during Fiesta. I always loved the various food booths and the different genres of live music. I got to see Better Than Ezra there actually!

This poster does a good job of telling the observer about everything that goes on during this event. From the music notes and guitars to the oyster logo with cowboy boots... a very clear story is told.

Folkloricas


Fiesta in San Antonio, the most colorful time of the year. I love the beautiful dresses that are made for this occasion.

LEGO


I chose this image of a Lego block because of it's simplicity of shapes and colors. The basic characteristics of the design is widely known and recognized, there is really no need for a noticeable logo because we immediately know what it is. Also, it will retain its identity when being illustrated in different colors and size proportions.

Hot Wheels- Ever since I could walk I've been collecting them. I like how they can make the car to the T, sometimes the designs are a little whacky but they are always cool to look at. Hot wheels are a great toy for children of all ages and yes even adults. They've become a real collectors item as well
I wonder how much money this man has made for Milton Bradley over the years?
I chose him because he is the perfect tool that can be used on posters, boxes, even on television. He is simply drawn with basic colors. Placement hardly matters since he says Monopoly wherever you see him.

1973 Evel Knievel Toy


This was a toy that has burned a wheelie in my memory, thanks to two older brothers.
It was a wind up motorcycle with famous stuntman action figure Evel Knievel and ramp included. This toy was known to gain speeds of up to 2 miles per hour and jump over volumes of books and other random objects! I like the composition and the font of the poster that conveys the extreme action.

This was of the funniest toy I owned. You had to build it, add the electronics, and take it out to race. It was the greatest. The ones today are pre-built and that was half the fun.
