2009 Dasani Water Label

this is an old water bottle label design 4 Dasani in 2009. To be honest I hate it. the radial gradient in the background is very childish and it looks like a highschool graphic students did it.  Then to make matters worse the entire small print has a blue stroke on it. Terrible. The only good thing is the dasani logo. And that is just an elongated S and an extended cross in the A's.  Its extremely basic, which is good, but there is nothing to draw my attention and the fundementals are completely absent.

Collage For Font

I love this design! Its so creative and unique. It looks like Iit is just a photo of so arranged greens and sticks that spell out the name of the book. Its genius. The typography alone gives a very rural, woodsy, DIY kind of feel.  I have no idea what the book is about, but that is the mood i immediately feel i also like the warn out, faded paper as the background. It adds to the recycled DIY feel. Very good book  cover!

Reverse Font For Book Cover

I love this  design. the sans-serif font is simple and sleek, but having the background show through the font is genius. I assum the cover is like a sleeve so you can take it off and see the artwork. It is such a simple idea, but it is so eye catching and attractive. I chose this cover because it is text only, which is out objective for project 2.

Paper illustration Cover

This is a great cover.  I know it uses mainly illustration, which goes against out specs for project 2 , but I just thought it was so unique and fun. It looks like it is a picture of a small scene made out of paper. Then, the title is so well made. The different changing fonts and colors in  the title works perfectly with the childlike fun animation. I also like the way the authors name is inbetween the words in the title. Ive never seen that before, but it looks great! Lastly, I like the way the waves spill out of the border. its so well organized and created. Maybe my favorite so far.

Minimal Design

This cover design is so minimal but its so effective. Ive never read the story, but i assume it has to do with an eye based on the oval shaped contrast and the eye hidden in the middle of the 8. I like that the eye references are very subtle and not just a huge eyeball in the middle of the page. It really makes yoy think about it. Well done peice.the one negative I have is maybe the font choice. maybe something a little smaller and Bolder. 

Font Choice

This is a unique book cover. I like how the font seems hand written butit still had that formal serif feeling. Its very different, but its good. I also like that the type is bound by the hand drawn jug design. However, i am not a fan of the green and redish christmad colors. But, overall, the cover is very fun and unique.

Eye Moving Book Cover

I am not the biggest fan of this one. 

the potential is there but there's way too much movement in the background, which takes away from the rest of the design. I think it is suppose to be like an octapus, but it's just not working. And the font... ugh. The hand written serif font mixed with a white stroke is just awful. this goes along with project 2.
