Jeans

 

This is another ad from Lurzer's magazine.  It is to sell different styles of jeans.  I like the dramatic visual affects to describe style of jeans (ignore the lower right-hand corner)  I also like the large, thinly lined type smack dab in the middle of the advertisement.  The consistency of the male model and his positioning was a wise choice to keep a unified look.  What attracted me to this piece was the dramatic setting, almost like a stage. 

Female Doll

   This is one of the ads from Luerzer's Archive.  I  am honestly not sure what it is advertising.  It is a combination of a real model with a live size wooden doll.  The style of the title is a messy lipstick writing, which makes it look spontaneous and gives it personality.  The quality of this piece is amazing.  It truly looks real and is well put together.  The quality of this work is what attracted me to it.

Funkadelic

 

·  Describe what it is: I found this CD cover in a book about different genres and time periods of CD album art.  

·  Describe its function: Album art is to attract the viewer to the CD as well as tell a little bit about the group or indivual artist.   

·  Discuss the style of the design & typography: The style is very eighties, with the afro styled hair, bubble letter typpgraphy and even title, "Funkadelic." 

·  Discuss the quality of the artwork; I think the quality is very well done, having extreme light for drama, but not too extreme and very eye catching subject matter with a emotional expression on the head that is seemingly coming out the ground. 

·  Discuss what attracted you to the piece:  I thought about the Psychedelic age when I saw this album cover, and I just think that it is a good example of it.
