Worldwide Graphic Design Latin-America

I picked up this book because it had a bunch of graphic designs done by Latin-American. There were so many beautiful works of art that were inspired by their own native cultures. As a Mexican-American I know I can create wonderful works like these. I like this photo, done by Luis Arango. The photo was originally parts of Mexico he added a fill colored background. I really liked the one with the bird, I think the pint about the image is to change peoples perspective in what they see everyday when they walk by places they live near by. When ever I drive to school and back I will see the world around me in a different way people would normally see.

 Society Of Illustrators 49th Annual Of American Illustration

When I saw the cover to this book I had to know who designed it. The cover was the album cover to My Chemical Romances for their Black Parade Album. The  artist was James Jean. The picture is a modern to to the fairy tale "Little Red Riding Hood". Red is wearing an athletic jumpsuit getting ready to run away form the cybernetic wolf. If it wasn't for the Nike's logo I would have never guessed she was trying to out run the wolf. This is was cleverly done and very witty. I also really enjoy the anime style that was put into this work even the simple stamps.
