Red Hot Chili Peppers

I chose this work for this weeks blog post because of its strange components.  This is an album cover for one of my favorite bands Red Hot Chili Peppers.  I chose this because not necessarily it is a good design but very unique.  It resembles to me the time period of deconstructionism.  I say this because of the type treatment and how everything is different colors and the words are put in different areas.  There is a grunge texture placed on everything and it just looks painted on and very sloppy. no rules are being followed.  Also the colors are just off and almost disturbing.  

logo

This is a logo design made for Howard Right and it was found on communication arts online.  I chose this for the blog this week because of its simplicity and creativity.  The way that the H is implemented into the hand is very genius.  It is a very soft and nice looking logo that will definitely memorable through the design.  I have tried creating creative logos such as this and it is very hard to make the logo have the resemblance of both things.  also the cool color scheme allows for a nicer and more approachable feeling that could be beneficial for Howard Right.  If they chose a warm color, it would almost feel malicious or evil.  

simplicity

This work was found on communication arts online and is a promotion for the kent of engelwood, a beard growing company.  I chose these because i loved the simplicity through single colored backgrounds and single colored designs. I  Believe that the simplicity will allow the viewer to think more about it, because that is exactly what it made me do, and that is the purpose of designs.  The illustrations don't necessarily look like beards but they resemble them, leaving you to think more about it in your head.  

Domison

This is a piece from film domison found on Communication arts online and the artwork was done by  the design firm Paprika.  I chose this because of its simplicity and  complexity.  From afar you see it as four letters and from close up, you see the intricate designs of the staircases.  Also the color scheme leaves it to be very simple and the balanced symmetry leaves it a simple layout.  The plain white background and contrasted red on top of it makes it very pleasing to look at.
