The piece of work above is created by graphic designer Alan Fletcher. I find this piece of artwork very intriguing as he has created the word out of the media describing it. I also find this piece effective as he has used collaged letters but very effectively. I think that the danger with this piece of work was that it could have ended up looking like a ransom letter from a criminal, however this clearly does not and I feel has a certain class and edge about it.
This second piece of artwork is created by Kris Sowersby. The effects that I like about this piece are that they have used both images and text to create the phrase "I Do" I like this because it requires the viewer to observe the creative work deeper and longer, instead of the message behind the graphic design being totally obvious to everyone. Another aspect that I like about this piece of artwork is the choice of colour. The three colours used work in sync very well together, the black and white correspond extremely well together and the blue is a calm subtle shade which goes well with the intensity of the black.
The third piece of artwork is by Noma Bar and one of the things that I like about their work are the vibrant, bold and bright colours. They all seem to compliment eachother well and their composition of colour also helps this greatly. Another aspect of this graphic design that I like is the idea of creating two images within one. This will appeal to different people as some will see the island and hand first then the parrot. This is effective as it requires the viewer to think about what they are looking at rather than just knowing what it is immediately.
The fourth piece of artwork is created by graphic designer Pep Carrio. In this artwork I find the scale quite over powering but I do not think that that is necessarily a bad aspect of the piece. The small figure outline helps to give this illusion of the huge scale. This piece of artwork also creates thoughts and feelings in me, for example the pattern surrounding the figure makes me think that they are confused or trapped, it plays with your emotions and thoughts and that is why I like it.
The fifth piece of artwork is created by graphic designer Wim Crouwel. This work has a quite boyish style that does not appeal to me much, however the use of simple shapes, slightly different texts and the complimenting colour scheme work well together to create posters that catch the eye, such as this one.
The final piece of artwork is created by the graphic designer Stefan Sagmeister. I find his slogans quite pessimistic, however I really like his use of text, especially in this piece of artwork as the words are designed so that they fit into the background image too. In this case being branches off a tree. The placement of this piece I think would also have an effect on the world around it as it is placed above a shop, I think the slogan would definitely encourage people to buy things now and not in the future.
