Good Design examples

1)

2)

I think this advertising design is successful.  This design can explain clearly and simply what the product is. Also, it can show the product’s advantage which are thin and light weight. it also works color, type contrast well.

3)

I think this movie poster is good. it is simple but stylish. Negative space works well, and type and image works well. Also, this poster can tell what the movie is about, so I think it cannot have people’s attention.

Unsuccessful design example

1)

Colors and Images are too busy, and I do not know what advertising tell about the product. Images are all around the design and color is too bright.

2)

It is simple and clean, but typographic is not impressive. And it is not attractive, and I also do not know what design is about.

3)

I think this design does not work well. It is too busy, and image are scattered all around design. Color and images are not cooperate each other.

this design is very successful. in this design you can see the line through the word liiiiiiiiiiiiine. i feel that it is very effective that they used the word to illustrate it.

this design is very successful. it is very visual and effective. without getting the pictures of flea onto the ad, they designed the ad big enough so that the walking people would present the flea on the dog.

this a is very successful because it shows exactly how vodka is doing around the world. as you can see, they used vodka bottle from all around the world. you can see how popular vodka is and how it is in the world.

these two design is unsuccessful design because they have too much words on their ad. i believe that people stare at the ad for a long time only if it seems very interesting and appealing but these two ads doesnt make it interesting. because there are so many words on it. it makes it the ad seem crazy and not focused.

this design is unsuccessful because you cannot see what this ad is for. A&F is clothing company but you cant see the clothing at all .

i think this design is unsuccessful because you cant see what this commercial is really about. the words are too small and too light to make it seem like its a Lego commercial.

This design is successful, because the typeface that was chosen gave the advertisement a sophisticated look. The white letters over the blue polo shirt added to the consistent color pattern. I like how the placement of the cologne bottle is at the bottom of the advertisement, because it is the last thing you see.

This is a successful design. The use of negative space really makes the crowd pop out. The short phrase accompanied by the powerful imagery gives this advertisement an epic feel. The color contrast is a nice touch.

This design is unsuccessful, because it is too cluttered. The amount of people in this image takes away from the information that is being given. The facial expressions of the paparazzi don’t make sense with Pitbull’s action.

This design is unsuccessful, because the humor in the advertisement makes the product less attractive to the consumer. The strange image grabs your attention and doesn’t allow you to acknowledge the name of the glasses. The patch on the bottom right corner seems out of place.  

This design is unsuccessful, because the dramatic image that is displayed overpowers the message. The words are tiny and very difficult to read. Comparing a tragic day like 9/11 to cigarette addiction is offensive.

This is an example of unsuccessful design of an energy shot. The reason it is unsuccessful is because the design of the bottle is far too busy for its size. There are several different fonts contradicting one another, making the bottle hard to read. Also there is a red graphic border that really just makes the text harder to read as well.

This is an example of unsuccessful design of a logo. The reason it is unsuccessful is because the graphic lines behind the logo distract from the text itself. And the matching lines within the logo are overdone and seem to distract from the logo itself. The large pointing hand in the image just doesn’t belong and appears to be an afterthought just thrown in last minute.

This is another example of an unsuccessful logo design. The reasons it was not successful is not only are the letters very overcrowded and hard to read with their dramatic overlapping, the design behind the logo takes away from the word itself rather than adding to it. Similar to the energy shot design, this logo just seems to busy and not a clear concise logo.

This is an example of successful design. The ad is for an Audi R8 which is the top of the line mass produced Audi, this is conveyed through a clever message saying, ” Then again, maybe you don’t have a few minutes.” The text is used to infer the quick speed of the super car, while the image shows its sleek and cutting edge design. The ad also has a nice flow to it from top to bottom leaving the viewer with little to ponder.

This Apple ad is another example of successful design. The tagline says ” The colors of music” which speaks directly to the message they are trying to convey. That Apple’s new iPod comes in many different colors allowing you to personalize your musical experience. The way the colors are dripping from each iPod is also another successful design element showing how vivid the colors of the new iPod are.

This is a very successful design for many reasons. The first being that it is very visually appealing right off the bat, and text and color are combined to make a rather unique image of a pepsi bottle. The text overlapping the image seems crowded and oversized but is very clear and legible which I think adds rather than distracting from the design. Also Carson used a reverse reflection of his name in a different font underneath. Through his very complex design Carson seems to ignore most basic design theories and convey his messages in unorthodox ways.

I believe this signage works because the different color portray different locations. The white space between each allows for clear reading.

I believe this sign works because the color contrast works. The smoke making an image of a gun portrays a clear message.

This works because it portrays a clear message. The idea of the baby with an oreo with drinking milk. Along with the letter spacing for the text on the bottom works.

This sign does not work because of the content. The content of alcohol and gun makes this sign extremely revolting. Lego is normally for kids so the idea of adult content should not be visible.

This sign does not work because when you think of red bull you think of it giving you wings. This revolting idea of bye bye eiffel tower does not give you any indication of an energy drink. Maybe power hungry instead.

I believe this is not a good design because of the grey background. It clashes with the white text which makes it a little difficult for it to read.

I believe the design of this Nikewomen’s advertisement is successful. The message was made to empower female athletes and women in general.  The contrast between the grey image of a woman and the colorful background makes this piece interesting.  The words do not take away from the image. Instead they help get the message across by representing the curvature of a woman’s hips.
