Stop Violence

A creative way to advertise stopping violence. Never realized there were the words love and nice in it. The transition from black to red helps with the message because black is neutral and dark, while red can be associated with love and passion.

Minimal Graphics by Catharine Fishel

Form Follows Function

This picture is simple, eye-catching, and true to its message. The phrase can be applied to many disciplines, but the image of the hand and fork is familiar to everyone and delivers to message quite clearly.

I Heart Design

I love the all type treatment for the cover of the book. Not only is it modern, eye-catching, and sleek, but also provides the content of the book. The little upside-down heart is a metallic red and adds just a small pop of color that really draws your eyes to it. Even though there is a lot of words of various type weights and styles, it is organized due to the grid layout.

Ketchup = Smoothie?

I love the minimalist design of this ad for the New York Lottery. It makes it very clean, simple, and open. I also like how the phrase is written out. Because of the italicized serif font, along with the image, you would think that it would be some philosophical quote or something, but no, it is just a completely random thought that has nothing to do with the setting of the actual image. It makes it unexpected and therefore very humorous.
