Inspired again


This is a great graphic. It is a photoshopped piece that holds a lot of potential on the right of the design. I like the 3-dementional quality of the figure that stands beside the man. It has an aliveness to it because of the organic pose. I like how they both look out in the photograph of the image in the distance. I almost makes me wonder what it is that they are looking at.


The complexity of this design is inspiring because it uses the three basic elements that really makes any design functional to society as a book or poster to get a message of something across. This graphic has a photographed image, designs created in illustrator and type. I really like this design because its main focus is being emphasized well and the designs that are not so important are almost at blend with the background so that nothing is distracting the main focus.


I like this design because its simple and it gets it's message across. I really enjoy the texture of the leaves. Also the use of type. The roots are very sharp yet there are some parts of the roots I would not leave straight if they suppose to have a jagged look. I think maybe the artist may have been trying to blend with the top or get a tear out look. Either way I mainly chose this piece for the use of texture and the logo.

Top three graphic inspirations of the day


This is inspirational to me because I like how this image uses imagery with the message that the designer is trying to get across.


This design inspires me because of how an object that wouldn't be thought of is being used to represent a tree. The concept is clear as well as the colors. The colors red and green are common to be associated as christmas colors. I like the simplicity of the overall design.


This design is pretty awesome because of the complexity of it. I can tell a lot of time of layering, positioning, and figuring out what colors go where was nicely put in this piece. It has a organic origami feel to it. It gives a sort of 3-dementiality to it with the layering without the actual piece being 3-dementional. There are a lot of nice qualities about this piece.
