give me a ride







I found this record design at record swap that’s located in 114 E University Ave, Champaign, IL 61820. The name of the record is called Jack Johnson by Miles Davis. I walked towards the shelf and grabbed it. I gave it a quick glance and brought it back to the self. Then I walked out of the store.  

The layout shows unity by placing the car towards the center of the page. I believe this came from the 1960's. The colors are both bright and dull which they wanted to emphasizes the car and the people inside of it. The imagery in the back is the least important in the picture. The spacing for the typography is evenly spaced. The kerning is a little tight. The typeface is times new roman serif and the style is regular.

What attracted me about this is was the transitional look to it.

I found this cover design at Champaign Library. The name of this book is called V for Vendetta. The author for this book is Allan Moore. I Remember reading this book and I loved it. For the layout they use illustration of the Guy Fawkes mask. They center that on the front page. The words in V for Vendetta are red to make it stand out and danger is ahead. The colors that’s being used is low saturation. The spacing for kerning is tight to give it some tension. The proportions are evenly spaced and balanced. The typeface that’s being used is Helvetica sans-serif and condensed. I like this cover because for it’s serious look.     Champaign Library

In the writers magazine, Jack Smith created this informational article. The page layout has a structure that’s symmetrical. The Illustration is bigger than the article.   He wanted to emphasis the point that the mouth is shouting out the words. It creates a nice balance between using illustration and typography. The design style is complimentary. The spacing and kerning for the typography is even. The proportions are aligned and spaced evenly.   The white and black colors with the red background works well. The typeface is Helvetica Sans-serif and style will be condensed.   What attracted me about this piece was the animated and narrative approach.
