What: Poster for a music event. Function: Adverstiment. Where: Behance. Quality: Very nice quality. It seems like there was a lot of time put into the composition. Style: Contemporary. Why I chose it: I was drawn to the design and colors of this piece. I then learned about how they chose the patters. They made dice and put patterns on each side and rolled it, whatever patterns they got had to go on the poster. I thought that was a fun way to pick patterns for the poster.

What: Design for exhibit for Dorazio. Function: Posters, Pamphlets, Billboards. Used as advertisments. Where: Behance. Quality: Very well designed. Eye catching. Style: Contemporary. Why I chose it: The colors and layout of this piece really stuck out to me. I love the colors and texture on the piece.

What:  Packaging Function:  Packaging for a brewery. Provides a nice representation of their brand and offers some advertisement. Where:  Grant Burke Portfolio. http://grantburke.com/portfolio-item/barn-door-brewery-brand-identity/ Quality:  Grant did a great job on the original logo of the brewery. I really like how it has a rustic and homemade feel and that is exactly what the client was looking for because their products are homemade. Style:  No idea. Why I chose it:  I chose this piece because packaging has always interested me. I think Grant really hit the mark with what the client was looking for and made a beautiful piece for them.

What: Pamphlet Function: Pamphlet with information. Could also be used as advertisement Where: Behance Quality: I think this pamphlet is designed very well. It shows all the necessary information on the front in a nice eye catching way. The two color design works really well and adds style to the pamphlet. Style: Contemporary. Why I chose it:  I chose this piece because it caught my eye with the colors. Once I started to look at it I saw that the white lettering over the photo was an acronym for the Lyon Music and Dance Conservatory. I think this piece is designed very well and shows a certain professionalism for the business.

What: Poster. Function: It shows all the vital information for the event taking place. It also shows what kind of event it is. Where: I found it in a Graphic Design subreddit. I tried to find a better source of the image but was unable to find one. Quality: I think this is an amazing piece. The simple two tone color scheme really sticks out to me. The way the artist used the instrument for the lettering is phenomenal. Style: Art Deco. Why I chose it: I chose this piece because of the way the artist used the instrument to convey that this poster was for a jazz festival. I think he did a great job on the type and I think it is overall a great piece.
