Here are color pallets: Not a big fan.












Colorblind: Seemed appropriate.











Pete and Pete: Hey Sandy! ay ay ay...











We are punks, Mama.: Clashing and hard to miss. Sounds pretty punk to me.










Skanky Blues: Sometime even rude kids need to chill.











Rockabilly Uniform: Setzer be praised!










My Mod Baby: It's hip, it's trendy, all the cool kids are doing it.












Kill 'em All: Metallica, not my favorite band but good metal pallet.











Iron Maiden: I'm pretty sure this is the pallet they use for Eddie.










Ella Fitzgerald: Smooth, relaxing, calm. If just feels right.











Bob Ross: Smell those happy trees!












Bob Dylan: The earthy tones really bring out the folk.





Beastie Boys: This pallet works well with the idea of the Beastie Boys. I can see this being made into a poster or as an album cover.

GD1 (Print Ads)



















This is probably one of my favorite adds ever. The images gets the point across, is very memorable, makes a throwback to the original item (old bug in background) and is a Beatles reference!



















This is an awesome add for Bye helments. It's eyecatching and very inventive. Excelent Photoshop.




GRPH DSGN (magizine)





This isn't a good design in the exact meaning of the term good design, but more in a it's so horrible its good. A "don't do this" piece.

Design, Graphic F. (signs)
























this is an amazing sign! Mainly because it's in german and i have no idea what it says but i know exacty what not to do with a box on a tap door.




Here is another sign that is a little more confussing, I read it as "when dogs are peeing, point away form you"

El Design de Graphico (Book jacket)






This cover design is very intriguing because of it's subtleness. the title is a little fuzzy, the word coma is ultra hazy to add to the name effect and there seems to be what could be a rose in the background. Also, it's a smiths reference.

Design of Graphics CD Sleeve





















this is the full sleeve for Chris Cornell's latest CD. Personally I'm not a huge Chris Cornell fan, but this lay out is awesome! It's practically a tour through modern graphic design history, everything for big band looking design to a Bob Dylan through back on the cover and many more very nice designs.



for a better view check out the company that designed it

Graphic Design (Logos)

Here are some logos that i think are really nice!:



this is the old apple records logo (way before steve jobs even know what the word computer meant) it works well to catch your attention and be memorable. Also Apple records were very good and keeping this theme of apples going often putting an image of a sliced apple on the center sticker of their records.



The Foo Fighters! Done!

... this logo actually works really because of it's simplicity. Placing the initials in a classic, clean circle and having the letters themselves curvy really makes this a nice piece.



Pork Pie is custom drum company with a very nice looking logo. It works well because it's obvious what it is and also contains something they often use as a symbol (the big head)
