I found another image from the book "20th Century: A Century of Graphic Design" by Jeremy Aynsley. The designer of this piece was created by a man called Bayer. It was used on the cover of the magazine Die Neue Linie in 1938. He adapted montage ideas making experimental modernist ideas more acceptable to a wider public. He created this to show that he was leaving the Bauhaus, Berlin. I thought it was unique in a way because I wouldn't understand why he put the shoe prints across the design had I not read the description. Great piece, nice use of colors and very catchy to the viewer's eye.

I chose this design created by Koloman Moser in the book "20th Century: A Century of Graphic Design" by Jeremy Aynsley. The reason I chose this design is because the imagery and typography really stand out and is so unique that it catches the reader's attention immediately. The image appeared on the cover of a magazine called Ver Sacrum (Sacred Spring). The magazine specialized in poetry and aesthetic philosophy as well as promoting the new aesthetic way of life. It was a very illuminating design and it stood out very well.

This piece was found in the book "20th Century: A Century of Graphic Design by Jeremy Aynsley." I chose this coca-cola bottle because it caught my eyes immediately. It seems to have a very sharp look to it. There appears to be lots of line's and shapes instead of just being one boring image. It's calligraphic trademark and the bottle's distinctive shape enhances its identity. I really like this image because it's completely different than any other coca cola bottle I've previously seen. It's unique shape's and line's really catch the reader's eye and focuses on the image as being different and almost abstract.

The image was designed by Asa Candler.

I found, yet again, another image I thought was very creative in the book "20th Century: A Century of Graphic Design." This image was designed by Joost Schmidt and it uses a wide variety of colors, fonts and typography. He designed this for a cover in 1926. It really caught my eyes because its got many different things going on in the image. I think this designer really sat down and thought about this piece. I wish I could create something this creative!! This book really has lots of great examples of impressive designer work. Check this book out sometime!

I chose this image from "20th Century: A Century of Graphic Design." I picked this image because I really liked the choices of Typography and photography that are being involved in this design. Lots of different angles and fonts are used to make up this piece of artwork. The creator of this image was named Gispen and he created this piece in 1930. Shows how much graphic design has really developed over the past 80 years! I like this piece a lot and it grabbed my attention right when I opened this book.
