Documentary posters

Site
These are just 2 of the documentary posters in Communication Arts web exhibit. There were a few others that were good but had questionable content for class. I think both of these display creativity by using 2 ordinary objects and combining them to make something different with a clear message.

National parks campaign CMYK

This is such a good design. The photography, the abstract clouds and the copy all work together making you want to get out of the house and away from the computer for a while. Its simple, slightly trendy and effective.

Actual size com arts webpicks

This is a cool website portfolio for a design agency called Actual Size, with tons of good stuff for print, web and motion. There are alot of successful designs here but I like the webpage design itself. At first its not clear how to navigate or if its loading because a gorilla climbs the tower but then you look down and see the links. The illustration and color choices are bold but not so loud as to compete with their portfolio pieces. I also like how you can hover over the titles and see a thumbnail.

Prudential

Im not sure what this logo communicates about its bussiness but I do find it visually interesting and dynamic. There are few strokes that easily convey a face which could probably be reduced in size and still retain its readability.

Mutual of Omaha

I chose this logo for its very angular and simplified image which is echoed in the typeface very well. I really like all the gentle and hard angles especially in the first feather as well as the negative space between each feather.
