Bistronome grocery and deli

This is a personal project created by Serge Vasil. Since we are doing the cook book. I thought this would be a great reference. I enjoyed the clean design, and the layout of the types and photos. I think shooting those photo from right above is really a great idea to showcase the food. I especially enjoyed the red line under some of the images to create emphasis on the texts below it.

Social Media Lab

This was an infographic design about social media by Social Media Lab.

I mostly enjoyed the design because the colors and layout. It gave clear information and created good comparison of different social media platforms. All the graphics created were well-organized and balanced. I liked the unity of the total design. It was really a incredible design.

Nya Upplagan Magazine

The above designs were from Swedish designers Marcus Garde, and Linnea Bach Garde. They made up the company called Bach Barde in Stockholm. The above images were from their own magzines from 2010 to 2013.

I enjoy their design a lot, especially the color choices. It's modern and subtle. I like the transparency those colors created. They are all from the primary colors, red, yellow and blue. But the combinations made them look different. These are really nice design in my perspective. 

Student Showcase

• Designer: Mads Thorsoe
• • Location: Copenhagen, Denmark

• Website: http://www.behance.net/madsthorsoe

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.
