I thought this piece was very interesting. I like the way the artist used the bird as the head, then used the wrap and the sunglasses to specify it was a face. I also enjoyed the bold color choices that where used, he does a great job of mixing warm and cool colors. Overall it was the colors and the strange image that grabbed my attention and made me continue looking at this artist work.

I really enjoy this image, it is from the same illustrator that I chose to use for my assignment this week. I really like the way she uses bold bright color along with soft pastels. Her subject matters also very from soft images to harsh yet her technique work with both.

I thought this image was interesting the way they used type in the shape of the red cross. I also liked how the type starts as big and bold to really portray the important heading then decreases in size as the information gets less important. I think that using the red cross is a great way to get the message across since it is a universal symbol and is very recognizable.
