Context and Chronologies

Love/Hate

This piece of Graphic Design is made by Steph Baxter, http://www.stephsayshello.co.uk/work/hey-there-cupcake/, it falls into my love category as I really like the playfulness of the greetings card and the raw looking materials she's used like the lined paper.  I also think the choice of colour works really well overall.








Typography designed by Gemma Correll, http://www.gemmacorrell.com/portfolio/typography/ I love this also because it is playful.  The amalgamation of illustrations to create the typeface works well overall, the letter is really clear.  As above I like it because it hasn't been taken too seriously.







http://vimeo.com/28995545 A video by Julia Pott, an amazing illustrator, her work is so detailed and interesting to look at.  The way she characterises/personifies animals is fantastic.  Here is an example...


I HATE this awful website.  People who think they're graphic designers.. pffffft.  Nice try.







London 2012 Olympic Logo, designed by 'Kino Design.'  I'm not a fan of these brightly coloured poppy logos.   I don't think they relate to the olympics at all and they have even caused uproar in Iran, because they think it's racist, reading 'zion' which means the capital of Iran, Jerusalem.   Until recently I didn't even realise what this logo was advertising, so to me it is not conveying it's message well.
