not the greatest layout

this interesting article could have been improved by including better graphics. instead of helping the reader understand what's going on with the environment, the repetition of orange circles, arrows coming in and going out, make me confused.

fun layout and illustration

this is from Flaunt magazine.
creative director: Jim Turner.

one more

i have no idea who designed this cover and most of it has worn off, but the text is just beautiful.

some cool design work

just a sampling of different things i like.

1. first off, Ralph Steadman has been doing the design work for a Flying Dog, a beer company. i don't even like beer, but took home a bottle just for the label. his illustrations jump give off energy, they look somewhat random, but could not have been planned better.





2. i saw V for Vendetta this summer. the movie was spectacular and the posters refrence Russian Constructivst art which goes along with the film's theme. don't know who actually designed this particular poster, but the film credits list: Sarah Horton, Sebastian Krawinkel, and Steve Bream.


3. The Crisis, a publication of the NAACP, had this great cover. the design uses imaginary elements of house-shaped dice. i think this was a great way to visually communicate the "Housing Game" article in the issue. also, the use of lines and a plus sign divides up the page effectively.
