Here is one example of graphic design that I really like. I love the juxtaposition between the soft wave like lines within the circle, and the clean geometric typography. I also like the use of the circle, as it is my favourite shape. The muted and  limited colour  choices is something I also find very aesthetically pleasing. The bold red colour directs your eye to the main title.

Here is another example of graphic design I really like. Again the colour scheme is well thought out, yet simple. The use of the colour red in this book cover is to connote death and danger. I also like the stylized, stencil like design of the type writer.

Here is an example of design I strongly dislike. I don’t like the reckless use of colour, it is kitsch and not well though out. I also dislike the child like illustration. This type of illustrative design is something that doesn’t interest me at all.

Here is another example of design I don’t like, for very similar reasons to the last piece I chose. I think the composition is far too busy and cluttered and personally prefer more thought provoking and simple, clean aesthetics.
