I like these because of the collage of the different people and animals with a heavy use of black to merge them all together. The colours used complement each other well also, especially the bottom one,

These are advertising billboards for Tiger beer, i like them because they look like the old style japanese art with the use of colour. The angle of the picture makes you feel the scale of the ship.

I also like anything to do with the sea.


Here is the poster in the London Underground where it was advertised.

- Jimmy Turrel -

This one is my favorite of JImmy Turrel i like the vintage look of it and the rainbow coming out of the old reel player (or what ever it is) The use of pink and red through out the picture works really well
This one is simple with the white face on black to make it the focus of the piece and the fading out red spots make it aesthetically pleasing,

i like straight divide between the blue and red. Also the subtble differences like the fist in the red and peace sign in the blue at the bottom. The campaign for nuclear disarmament sign (better known as the peace sign) and the star (which looks quite military) in the eyes. Then the dove and fighter jet, this whole piece is about war and peace.

This one is a good contrast between old Japan (Samurais etc.) and new Japan (Technology)

I like the simple black two tone samurai and how he looks like he is about to cut the white ipod.
I like this one because of the little people dotted around, like the people on the swings in the bottom left.

- World Beard and Mustache Championships -

These posters to advertise the world beard and mustache championships were made by 2 graphic designers/illustrators called Jason Nitty and Neel Williams.



I these because they are quite comical and the pattern on the facial hair is intricate and detailed. I also like the font used, especially the 'o' because its always smaller than the other letters.

Its clever how they have made the facial hair into things that you would think when thinking of fighting ie, Boxing gloves, arm wrestles and rams....

- Patrick Arrasmith -

I like this because of the clever use of line, especially in the sky, he has taken out the lines in the sky to give the impression of a big cloud. It sort of looks like the old illustrations that you would see in news papers. I am also drawn to it because i love things to do with the sea like sea creatures, fish, diving equipment, boats etc.

- Bonobo -

Here are some album covers of an musician called Bonobo....I like this one because the use of colour, if you look closely you can see that the white circle in made out of lots of white objects from cd's toilet roll and trainers. I think they have tried to recreate the middle of a vinyl record, but instead of putting these objects on black background they are placed on grass. This gives it a more organic feel.

I also like how they have slightly broken up the font of bonobo.

I like the arrangement of this cover and the blank squares used for the artist and album name. I i like that some of the pictures go over more than one square to. It has a modern look about it which goes very well with the music.

- James Roper -

Here are some graphic pieces by James Roper, i like them becuase they are very colourful, extremly detailed and very interesting to look at.
I like these detailed drawings of women and the explosion of colour added

These are in the same style but a very big contrast, from beautiful women to car recks, the detail in the drawings is very good though.

- 1960s Posters -

Here are some 1960's music posters which i found, i like the typography that bends into shapes that make up the image, these where all hand rendered which makes me like them even more because there's a personal quality to them

- Alberto Russo -

This an amazing piece who has made up the image of Darth Vader from things from Switzerland like horns, cuckoclocks, mountains, trees, etc.

I think this is a brilliant idea which i especially like because i like Star Wars

Here are some detailed pictures..

- Oscar Wilson -

These clever pieces by Oscar Wilson make iconic pictures out of typography, he has used tourist activities to make up the shape of Tower bridge, Millennium Dome and a Silver back Gorilla to signify London Zoo. Very Clever indeed. I like them because they remind me of old psychedelic typography that was used for gig posters in the 1960's.
