3D type

http://typography-daily.com/blog/2010/10/17/interior-design-3d-type/

This 3D type was eye catching with what the words were made out of. The letters are designed to look like rooms! Each layout is different by shaping the rooms to fit in the letters spelling out interior design. They even went as far as to decorate some of the rooms with chairs. It is a simple and clean san serif typeface that makes it easier to create rooms in the type. I would not originally think to put such detail into a type such as a room design but I think that it is very successful. The type is readable and so are the details.

Beer Design

Colorado Native

This beer stands out from among the beer brands with its crisp natural look. The packaging has a textured feel and looks like it was printed on the printing press. The color and the mountains of beer change with each flavor. The type is bold clear and goes well with the natural theme. Colorado Native beer is brewed using water from the Rocky Mountains and the images keep with the theme. The letter C at the top comes from the Colorado flag is a nice touch showing the beers Colorado pride. Each of the beers has the same image of a bird on it though the location might change. The background image might change but you can always tell they go together based on the typeface, and other smaller details on the packaging. The colors are fun and stand out amongst the other beers it will sit next to in the stores. I think overall the bottle design is successful.

I really like these balloons letters. I think the colors chosen work really well together.  I like that you get the feeling that these letters are floating. The letter O looks like a doughnut the way the confetti is placed. Even though its a balloon it still looks bold and everything has the same weight and height.

When I first looked at this picture I was only looking at the top half that said yes and then I scrolled down and saw how from different angels you read different words YES and NO. I think this piece is really cool not only because it is somewhat interactive but just the simple fact of trying to figure out how to place each part of the letter. If I tried to do this it would probably take me forever because just looking at it I wouldn't be able to figure out which way which letter has to go to make up a whole letter from looking at it a certain way. Even trying to explain it gets confusing but it would be pretty cool if this artist did other words that were opposites such as hot and cold or in and out.

Bargara Brewing Company

http://www.bargarabrewingco.com

The beer bottle packaging I chose is for Bargara Brewing Company which is a craft beer company founded in 2014. At first I was drawn to this image because of the background but once i took a closer look at the labels themselves I really liked them because each type of beer has its own name and illustration. I found the names themselves to be funny.. an upside down "drunk fish" and a bright lager thirsty turtle. I think it was a very good idea to have a simple brown bottle with a pale tan label with so that way it becomes very easy to see and read the illustrations and words on the bottle. This company was created from the ideas of six people in the costal Queensland town of Bargara and because it was only created in 2014 there are only these two types of beers made from what i have seen on their website but it would be cool to see what other creative names they can come up with for future beers.

Bubble Wrap Type

I found this 3D type experiment super creative. The Spanish company Losiento Studio, uses syringes (with a hypodermic needle) to fill bubble wrap with colored water, forming 3 dimensional typography. They essentially use the individual bubbles in bubble wrap as pixels to build letterforms. The project was part of Tokyo Visual Culture Magazine's September cover design. The theme was

"next creativity" which prompted Lo Siento to Form those words in a sheet of bubble wrap hanging by the Barcelona beach. The company has an obsession with typographic constraints and studying the grid. This type experiment was an exercise in the typographic grid and the structure of letterforms. By breaking each character down into a collection of pixels (bubbles), the artists learned about the basic structure of letters and numbers, all while producing some pretty epic 3D type.

3D Type

Above is my 3D type design that I found. This I found pretty cool because it's kind of a combination of 3D type and a collage. It seems this designer threw together a bunch of his or her favorite things and put into one piece. I can also relate to this piece because a lot of the objects incorporated into this piece I enjoy myself. Like, rock music, ice cream and doughnuts. Seeing the composition the way it is, the only thing I would change is the color palette. The different shades of red are cool but I kinda get a Valentines day vibe off of this and I'm pretty sure the designer wasn't going for that intention. I think of this designer added more blues and greens, I think it would pop a lot more. Maybe even if they tried it in black and white would give it a totally different look.

Beer Bottle Packaging- Angry Angel

The beer bottle packing above is for Angry Angel Beer. What appealed to me about the design of Angry Angel was the one color vintage color scheme. People tend to be visually attracted to very colorful packaging, but in this case Angry Angel's muted tones are done very well. The cartoonish design reminds me of an info-graphic. The typography used in the packaging is a simple condensed san serif typeface that is bold. This bold san serif typeface works very well with the overall design of the beer bottle packaging. I also appreciate how the typeface is white as opposed to black due to being on a dark navy background. This contrast allows for the type to pop off the packaging and be very legible as opposed to blend in and be illegible.
