The worst disc covers of 2010

The website Pitchfork talks about music and every year it brings a list of the worst disc covers. As we are developed our own disc cover in class for Project 4, I thought you would like to see those. Here is the link: 

Enjoy!

Women of Design 2

Some of the covers that Janet Froelich designed for New York Times Style Magazine. I love the art on the fonts.

Women of Design 1

I got a book called Women of Design at Parkland's Library and I really liked the works I found in there. These here were created by Catherine Zask, a French designer that studied in Paris.

Fashion by Tube

The designers from the Trickett & Webb Limited created this poster to appear in London's underground stations during Fashion Week. The book doesn't bring the date of the poster.

San Francisco Chorus

I loved the colors in this poster about the San Francisco Chorus. It was designed by Primo Angeli from Primo Designs.

Viva La Mona Lisa!

This mosaic was Palazzolo Design's Studios submission to a national contest hosted by the Mead Paper Company. Designer: Gregg Palazzolo 

"I think I was up until almost midnight licking stamps! Viva la Mona Lisa!", said Gregg Palazzolo about this picture.
