good vs bad

lets start out with the good first...



Cute graphic buttons for everyday people, whether its t.v. watchers, music lovers, fast-food junkies, or game freaks, there is a button for each type of person.













a twist in graphic design. here is a vintage design, which incorporates simple but complex images with typography.











on the other hand. this modern design is very different from the one above. this one has a new, modern feel. and also, each image represents, and symbolizes something.












graphics could also be used in fashion. a colorful background that blends with the model herself. eye-catching color, not too bright.








graphics also in foreign stamps. cute and simple, that's how I like my graphics.












now for the not-so-good...

again with the messiness!!. jumbling up words is not appealing. no concept, and looks like this design wasn't planned out well enough.












now this is obvious.. you can't even read the text!!!! that is a bad choice. what if you wanted to sell something and the customer doesn't have a clue to what you want to sell. It looks like a line on a peace of paper. not interesting whatsoever.












another not-so-successful trip down the graphic road. This book cover might be cool and everything, but in the end, your customers still needs to be able to read it. When I first looked at it, I couldn't even see anything. It says "type addicted" by the way. I bet you didn't know that.











cute but trying too hard.
















looks like a time consuming piece, but in the end, looks like an amateur design.

5 designs that are not as strong...

Here are five that I have chosen, to show you what I do not like...



This design looks like its trying too hard, and there are too many things all over the place. You just don't know what to look at.



This on the other hand, has a concept that is hard to grasp at. And its not too interesting to look at.




Design numero three... hmm. it's just all over the place. No focal point, and boring.















This is a very unique design. It a good try, but its trying too hard. Again, too many things all over the place. You want to give your attention to it, but you just give up.




And finally, this designs typography is scattered everywhere. Bunching them up in a corner, will not look too organized. It makes your piece look messy.

some designs that I LIKE:

Here are some designs that I'm interested in:



I love the use of graphic icons to present what it's presenting.



















I love the use of typography and how it's depicting the water dripping down. It's also graphic design for a good cause.
















Green.
A lovely color.
Simple layout, but very attractive.

newspapers=art
