delicious





Hello, got a little bit of everything here. Firstly, I don't know if you like Jones Soda but you will now. Designed by Superbig creativeI got the Jones Soda Halloween cans from this month's print magazine. I really enjoy the clean, playful illustrations and also the great typeface...it looks hand drawn but y'know prolly not.

I found a few more examples to show. All of these came from a book from your friendly Parkland Library. The book entitled "White Graphics" was put together by Gail Diebler Finke and was published in 2001. The book centers around the use of white as a tool in design. I myself think of white as a painter thinks of his canvas.....to cover it all. After reading and looking through some of the examples, I know better. White space can serve as an organizational aid, as seen in the drug label, it can be used to create a sense of elegance as seen in the Chinese music and dance poster. It can also be used to create emphasis on the most important pieces of information or assets in a design as seen in the Smoke Signals poster. I highly recommend this book to anyone that might think the same way i did about their canvas.
