This image was found in the book "Extreme Design" by Spencer Drate. This piece was designed by Dennis Clouse and Traci Daberko for their client One Reel Productions. The concept was WOMAD; World Of Music Art and Dance. It is a 3-day musical and cultural celebration representing a diverse array of global talents annually held in Seattle's Marymoor Park. This piece was designed in the year 200o. I really liked the way the designers used some of the text in the composition and I think they got very creative with the layout.

I found this image in the book "20th Century: A Century of Graphic Design" by Jeremy Aynsley. I thought this image was very unique in a way because of the way the text was being used. It's not any kind of font you may find in Illustrator or Photoshop, it's text that is created by different objects. It reminded me of a project I did in high school with a Digital Photography class. Really unique and interesting, makes me want to see more letters of the alphabet designed this way! Check out this book sometime, it may not be the most recent graphic design book, but it is very creative and has lots of thought process behind all of the designs and images.

This piece was found in the book "20th Century: A Century of Graphic Design" by Jeremy Aynsley. This design was first used for a Vignelli poster for the major furniture manufacturer Knoll International. The typography is unique to me because it is smashed together and you can still read the text. It's different font colors make the piece very unique and the bright colors help the text stand out a lot. The design partnership undertook the graphic programme for this client between 1966 and 1980.

I found another image in the book "20th Century: A Century of Graphic Design" by Jeremy Aynsley. This book has lots of creative graphic design imagery and I think it has lots of great examples for the GDS 120 class. This image, designed by Rand, who worked on IBM's corporate for many years, caught my eye automatically. It's creative imagery really catches the readers attention and gets your brain working! He designed this for a poster that was made for the company in 1981 and I've still seen this image today. It's one of the more newer designs in the book, but possibly the greatest attention-getter in the entire book. IBM called this one of his most ingenious logos for the business.

I found this image in the "20th Century: A Century of Graphic Design" by Jeremy Aynsley. Sutnar, the designer of this image based this design on an image of Charlie Chaplin, who was an admired figure among the artistic avant-garde throughout Europe at the time (1931). This design was successfully admitted to the cover of the Magazine "Zijeme" which means "We Live" and was published by the Union of Czechoslovak Industries and Design. This image is creative in a way because he appears to be walking on the building in three different places. It's very unique and creative.
