Check out these cool poster designs!

































Last week's Grammy awards provided us, the television audience, with a glimpse into the vast array of musical genres and tastes that inhabit our entertainment generation. Last week's Grammy event was all about the music and this music has influenced graphic designers all around the world to keep creating visually stunning designs like the one's featuring artists such as Kanye West and Coldplay. These poster designs that I stumbled across are just plain beautiful. The color palette to the positioning and the resizing of the text just creates a visually enthralling design work. The color palette selected by the designer can be described as smooth and warm depicting colors that are not distracting. These poster designs bring up an important concept in design called the layering and separation of data introduced in my Art 468 class with Jimmy Moss at Cal State LA. The successful implication of this concept by the designer of these posters has taken into regard many things such as text size to the type font. In design, this is important because the layering and separation of your data as well as the text size to the type font determines the successfulness of your design. The colors are just visually stunning and radiating to look at. If the designer has implemented this information in a different method these posters wouldn't be successful. The hierarchy of the design has been implemented by the designer in an also successful manner. The small to large text would create the shape of the artist while the color would make the text stand out more. These Grammy posters are just beautiful to look at. Other poster designs that I came across on the internet was of one on global warming. Just the headline catches your eye: Earth's Time Is Over. Wake Up. We should be worried. The design is also interesting featuring a time clock that has incorporated a part of the globe. This type of design just makes you want to reflect. Type of designs that makes you want to reflect in my opinion are examples of successful design. What makes me wonder about this design is the importance of  the time clock stopping at the number 60. Is there meaning in this number? Are we just running out of time? It just makes you think. Overall, great collection of design posters featuring vital information to a visually stunning color palette to type font. Until next week everyone.
