Star Bucks Logo

I thought it would be interesting to post this. I had found this image in a graphic design book that had a bunch of logos designed by many designers. Here is the evolutionary change of the Starbucks logo. Has time goes by, many things change some have to change just to accommodate to today society views and beliefs. Starbucks had started out with a very provocative logo that later on changed probably to avoid a lot of sexual and inappropriate jokes.

Honey

Communication Arts

I like the product because they incorporated some unique Mexican design because the product is sold in Mexico. I might use this as my research inspiration for my next possible project. I have a friend who has a bee hive and he might need somebody to do the design for his honey. I like how clean the design looks and it clearly states that this honey is very organic. Its a very bold design because its emphasis is it's bold type that is put into a large negative space used to get viewers attention.

Bird

Communication Arts May/ June 2013

The design was used by an African Airline. African Airlines are known to be very expensive and are usually out dated especially in design. The design was to us the African Grey Parrot, which is a loving and intelligent bird. It is loved by all people in Africa which is why it is the perfect motif. The design is very clean and very trendy which is why I enjoy this look so much.

Movie Posters


Art of the modern movie poster : international postwar style and design

I found this in a book that was fill with old movie posters that were created and printed before computers became a tool in design.  Its astonishing that these great movie posters where never used for their DVD covers. A lot of these movies where promoted through poster unlike today where they are promoted everywhere. These posters were the only way they can advertise movies and most of the time they weren't successful in stating what the movie was about. I also noticed that most of the posters used Swiss style design which makes them look so clean and simple. These posters where made by Saul Bass.

Hi








Print December 2012

The Hi on the building actually is an abbreviation for Harvard Innovation. Its a lab that has a contemporary design. The Hi really fits well with the building because of the geometric shape of the letters and how well it fits withe the square shape of the building. The typography they chose is perfect for the building; Helvetica. Its also feels as if the building is alive because it says Hi to you and you say hi back. Erin Deeley was the designer.
