Digital Candy



The digital candy gum is very interesting. It is made up of different types of computer peripherals such as a mouse, a CD Rom, keyboard, a camera, and a Nintendo DS game system. The design is very interesting, capturing the attention of nerds and geeks. It catches your attention because gum packages are usually in rectangle shaped containers. The technology products can easily catch your attention and make you think, “whoa, what is that?” if someone were carrying this around, you would wonder what they were carrying. I think it is very cool. I like it because the containers are different and you don’t see things like this everyday. It is always cool seeing things in different or odd packages because you don’t necessarily see them in different packages. Especially gum, because they are usually in foil, paper, or plastic containers that are easily accessible from your pocket. It is more interesting to see products in different packages because it catches your eye.

G2


This is one of my favorite drinks. The other types of G2 are really watery and seem bland but this one is very good. The taste isn't too watered down and is very good. I have always liked the designs that gatorade comes up with. The lightning bolt is one of the coolest logos out there, i think. The design of the website is cool too. I like all the little black dots. It's cool how it still has the picture in the background. The little blocks of color are cool as well, each one leads to the other flavor of G2. The color of the Lemon-Lime G2 is neat too.

Axe to Fall


I love this album design. This is the design for the new Converge album, "Axe to Fall." It has a very tough look to it. The colors go very well together in this piece. I like how it looks splattered. The faces are interesting too because one is a skull, face, and then a skull again. It has a very "metal" feel to it. I don't think you would see this type of art on an album for a rock or country album. The pioneers of mathcore have once again created a masterpiece of a cover. All of their album covers seem to be very well done. I give this one another thumbs up!

Last.FM


You can click the picture for a better view. I like the design of the website, last.fm. At the top you can go to your page and view your listening stats or the page has a list of recommendations for you. It shows concerts in your local area or bands that are similar to the ones you have been listening to. It also shows you what new songs you have listened to and at the bottom of the page has a section that shows what your friends are listening to. I think the design flows well and the color works great. There isn't one area that grabs your eye right off the bat. Usually i wouldn't like that but here I do because it allows you to look around and find out new things everywhere you read.

Frankenberry


Frankenberry is my favorite Halloween cereal. I like how the color is relatively the same and consistent throughout the box. Frankenstein is also my favorite Halloween character, so i like how he is placed on this picture. The picture gives away what cereal it is but i think that the name of the cereal could be bigger or placed elsewhere. This design is very well done and works well. I think they could keep this design and still work well.

Cherry Coke


Not only is cherry coke delicious but this is one of my favorite Coke logo's ever. I love the tough look it has. The jagged letters add to the tough effect as well. I like the colors that it uses. It is very different from the other coke product logo's. The look of it just makes you feel like this is different. I think this works better than the current Cherry Coke logo. I just like how this one looks and seems like it flows together better.
