What is Graphic Design? # II

When I started this blog, I started it showing an example of what graphic design was, now i want to show three more approaches that answer the same question, in a very different style. I really like that i all of them, type is one of the most important elements in the designs.

Using the hole of the plastic bag as a part of the concept make this design very creative and innovative as well as successful. It takes everybody´s attention because of the unusual way of using the plastic bag as well as the little funny touch.

Looking for inspiration in internet i found this poster for an opening party of a new publishing house. It is very simple, fresh and contemporary approach because of the color and the way every element is cut out and not centered in the poster and using type to delimitate the space of the scissor
holes

Here we see a contemporary wordmark. It is very clean and simple that stands out easily. Also, the color change of the dot over the "i" onto a warm color make the design have contrast and make it more casual, but professional, as well as that rounded, but sharped corners typeface

It is great how different types work together as well as expressing even more when it express the meaning of the word is written with. I like how casual and eye catching this book design is.

This psychedelic poster has a great color choice. The use of the complementaries plus that green and the white besides the use of the pattern make the design vibrate and be very active. The hand-lettering typography, although very interesting and dynamic it is not readable, and overall is well balanced, make the design being not communicate as well as it could.

What i like of this Evian packaging is that shows very well the concept in the product itself. It is very creative and clever making the water bottle as if it was a mountain expressing how natural and fresh that water is.
