art nouveau!

I'm pretty much in love with the style of art nouveau. This is a pretty sweet design. The colors and the shapes are very eye catching and fresh! I found this online on google.

Cool Design

I thought this was a cool idea. Using several different typefaces and inserting them into a graphically designed person. Its very eye catching and fresh. Its also pretty trendy if you ask me yet has the feel of something maybe from the 20's or 30's. (HOW magazine 6/2009)

Make Something

I thought this was a really cool ad for shutterstock. Basically its showing some of the cool designs that could be made by using their images. (HOW magazine 6/2009)

Look at me: I'm Skiing

I thought this was a particularly cool looking graphic design. With the mountains coming out of the helmet gear and the other cool looking abstract designs that are along with it. I found this design in HOW (August 2009 issue).

To and Fro

This piece is almost like a narrative. He is shown holding a candle, with pajamas on, barefoot, while his hat is being blown off, and some houses are shown in the distance. It can either have a very spooky like feel too it or just him going outside to do something before a big storm hits. Either way you look at it, its brilliant. (By Teun Hocks, from the book The Photo Book by Phaidon)

"My Mother, Bolton Abbey, Yorkshire"

I think this photo, or collage of photos, makes the mood feel sad, like something tragic happend in that setting. Her facial expressions look as though she may break down at any given second. I think the way he placed each part of the photo give the viewer, maybe a sense of what had happend or what may have went on. A very strong piece if you ask me! (By David Hockney from the book The Photo Book by Phaidon)

Migrant Mother

This photo is from the book "The Photo Book" and the photo is by Dorothea Lange and it is called Migrant Mother, Nipomo, California. It was taken in March of 1936 along with 6 other photos which became well known almost immediately. It has a feel of sadness but at the same time looks so scared and doesn't know what to do from here. It really impacted me when I saw it.
