Hummingbird

Communication Arts January/ February 2013

It never occurred to me the fonts and typography was an art. I now see that it is very important and fun art to learn as a designer. I enjoy Laura Worthington's type face design because its so elegant and sensitive. I love the way each letter is capable of connecting with each other so fluently, the way it moves constantly while trying to keep the shape of a humming bird. Its a very beautiful font and I am now interested in taking up calligraphy to learn to write and create beautiful type like this.

MyThai Identity

Communication Arts Janurary/February 2013

Mythai is a Thai food restaurant in Brazil. Their logos create a sense of movement and uses a lot of Thai style art. Like Asian calligraphy and lotus flowers. The logos and designs are well done. I especially appreciate the colors, more Asian like. Its a very traditional look. Designed by Roberto de Vicq de Cumptch.

Studio Shine

Communication Arts November/ December 2012

I had found an article about a motion graphic studio, Shine. It was founder by Michael Riley. The studio had many clients from Dreamworks, Fox, to commercials. They created animated and spontaneous designs that all viewers would enjoy watching. They created opening and endings for Kung Fu Panda, Modern Family, Raising Hope, The News Room an many others. I posted the ending credits for Dreamwork's Kung Fu Panda.

Simple

Computer Arts Jan 2013
These designs where done by a graphic designer, Tristan Kromoparwiro. I find these designs very interesting because they came from a simpler idea. for the rose it started out with just a flower and he then thought it would be interesting to make the rose out of butterflies. Same for the design on the right. It started out as a picture but soon became a loud design. Really awesome designs.

Worldwide Graphic Design Latin-America

I enjoy the design, done by that is put on these snowboards. Its also important to note that graphic designer can make designs not only for bilboards, website and movies but they can work on clothes, bags, food, sports equipment, snow boards and anything else you can put your idea on. I like this piece also because it incorporates Luchadores, Mexican Wrestlers, for a unique and innovative design. You normally don't see Luchadors on snowboards. Very interesting work.

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.
