I bought a copy of CMYK Magazine not too long ago, and was really influenced my the layout of the cover. It is very grid oriented even though it seems random at some points. All of the text is very well lined up with the images, and adhering to the grid. When I see a design such as this I usually expect it to be messy and poorly done, but the people at CMYK know what they're doing. It give me a new hope to get good enough to do designs like this. Thanks for the motivation CMYK!
Even though this seems pretty old and such I think the design is pretty decent, but more importantly the layout is good. The stripe of ridges contrasts the graphic image very well, and gives it an almost Swiss like layout. With a good 3 row grid, which the image take up 2 of those. The actual design of the image isn't as good. I think it's pretty good for the game, but nothing special. I just wanted to note Nintendo's layout choice.
These are Pog pieces from the old crappy game, Pog. I chose to talk about these because the design is so varied, but many of these are reminiscent of the American Kitsch period. The colors are very bright, but subtle at the same time. Many of these also serve no purpose really beside looking interesting. I was happy to pull these out of my closet and give them a look a second time.
I saw this logo and thought it was awesome. I was really impressed with the implicity of the logo, but how it has two completely different images in it. Both add to the company also. There is a spartan and a golfer. This is really impressive considering their name is spartan golf. I would have to say that logos like this are really awesome, and all logos should be like this! good job Spartan Golf!
