  • This is a poster.
  • Its function is to promote a special they have on May 5th.
  • I saw it while I was in Moe's eating my burrito.
  • I think the quality is about medium. Its a good poster but good be better.
  • The style feels very old. They make it seems as if the letters are a part of the background with the wooden texture they have going on throughout. 
  • What first attracted me to this poster are the words, "FREE TEE" because of how large they are and the color against the white background. I also saw the taco because it is basically the only one object in the poster that is of an actual color other than black, white or brown. This poster is classic, established, bold, and playful.

  • This is a sign for Longview Bank.
  • The sign would go under the category of identity.
  • I saw this sign in St. Joseph in the bank parking lot.
  • The style is simple but gets the job done. The typography is simple and looks to be Helvetica. Longview Bank is bolded to add attention where St. Joseph is smaller and light.
  • What caught my eye was honestly the simplicity of it. The small logo to the side separated by the vertical line in between the logo and the lettering. The sign is subtle, calm, formal, established.

  • This is a cookbook.
  • This is a publication because it is a book.
  • I saw this in a grocery store in near the section where they sell grills.
  • The design is a high quality.
  • This design is very Swiss like because of the grid texture and layout. They typography is a thick and bold san-serif font. Along with all caps for the "way to grill" part. 
  • What attracted me were all of the images of food along with the all caps "WAY TO GRILL." It is bold, fresh, masculine and traditional.

  • This is a tin for hot chocolate.
  • This would go under the category of packaging. It is representing the chocolate mint hot cocoa.
  • I found it at Walmart and decided that it looked good enough I thought I would buy it.
  • The quality of the art is very simplistic. I would say it is medium quality.
  • This design roughly reminds me of a little bit of Swiss because of the grid like structure that it has to it. The type is a serif font that is used throughout.
  • The design is quite subtle, quiet, calm and casual. If I'm being honest, the first thing that caught my eye was the picture of the hot cocoa itself. It looked so good.
