When I go to airport

When I go to the airport I will be seeing these every where except for the sleeping one. Haha so wish those airports did have beds with the wait that you sometimes have to do. But you can see these anywhere. But what caught my attention with this one is the sleeping one with the ? air bubble haha. it seems like they do not know what is going on. I know it might mean what they maybe thinking when sleeping (dreams) but I thought of that when I saw that.

These were talked in about in Chapter 16. They are call isotypes. isotypes are like picture language. it discribes what is needed or what is being done.

There are quit a few funny ones out there go ahead and look. some you are like really don't people already know this haha. (i tried to add another one but can't seem to be able to do it)

Found in Newspaper

I was ready an online newspaper and I came across this and found it really cool how you can create someones face with words!!!! these whole thing was created with words to creat President Obama's face. so cool. The detail and how the use of no letters to creat the contours of his face is outstanding

This applies with Chapter 19! and it is considered a typogram; which is a brieft and visual typographic poem or saying.

My Jobs Logo

Now I been working for Modern Mushroom Farms since Feburary, I believe. Their logo is very eye appealing and since I am in this Graphic Design History Class and one of our assignments are to put images up that get our attention, I thought this one would be perfect. I really like this because for one I work there but also the blue gets my eyes and the coloration of the mushrooms (not being perfectly white) and also how the words are wrapped around the picture of the mushrroms

I believe the style involved with this would be related to corporate identity and visual systems of Chapter 20. It is simple and to the point and it shows the name of the company along with a picture of what the company is based around (even though it says it in the name). I did not get a chance to ask about the image. I need to do that some time this next week and update you guys further. But I know that they have older looking logos that they have developed over time to create this one. I get to look at one of them every day I am at work out side my window.

I love my job. Maybe I can improve their design =)
