This design was from a student work. I used the layout for my project 1 inspiration. I enjoyed the design very much. It's modern and simple. I especially like how he put random letters and numbers through the layout as decorative elements. In addition, the general black and white color schemes gave the design very good unity and balance. 

Architectural Conference Brochure Design

I enjoy this brochure design very much. The water colors work greatly in this design, so does the overall layout. I love how the designer arrange those triangles and cut them right off the edge. The cover and back are elegantly simple. I feel very comfortable to look at a design like this. It's so clean and simple. 

Landscape Architecture Publication Design

I found those publications on 2014,  December's Landscape architecture Magazine.

I enjoyed the designs because they really gave me a sense of architecture design. There are not very creative designs, but the simplicity and good organization made the design look very clear, and even made those products look better.

SHIFT Magazine

This was a publication from Tanya Test in order to highlight the 2009 TED Wish Prize Winner Jehane Noujaim. In this design, Test tried to advocate travel and international relations to build "cultural understanding, tolerance, open minds, and unity as people."

I think this publication is very well-designed in terms of layout of visual elements as well as color choices. I especially enjoy the cover design. She replaced the "I" with a diagonal line which very much created the feeling of "shift."Also, the woman in the photograph with the newspaper cover her face created a balance as well as unity with the design. The  yellow color stands out from the gray and white background which gives the design moderate contrast. I feel very comfortable to look at it. In addition, the foreign characters used blend into the overall design as well.
