A good advertisement


I like this Coca Cola advertisement, the image" a women face coming from cocacola bottle with colorful flower" is really match the expression words" live on the Coke side of life."

Communication arts

I like three girls eyes' gaze. I have thought it is emphasized by direction.
“Clear Hearts, Gray Flowers”, 2000. Used as cover for Communication Arts. Artist: Mark Ryden. This is the cover for the album of the same name by the band Jack Off Jills in 2000. The 3 girls are the 3 singers in the band.

Atmospheric depth

The designer applied the atmospheric depth artfully, and successfully created this" Superhero" character.

metaphorical thinking example.

I found this image from internet. This is a design for children education. The designer applied metaphorical thinking to connect "π" and the word"pie" since they have the similar pronunciation.

Monochromatic harmony example

This book cover used monochromatic color harmony, and changed the color value and saturation to create the depth.

Angle of meat.


The Angel of Meat fine art painting by Mark Ryden, 1998. This is one of my favorite art pieces, so I posted it here. The whole image used symmetrical balance, and used the meat around girl's body very delicately.

book cover redesign

This book was about histroy and physical education. I used foodprints to show the tracing of histroy, and used a running person to show the key words" Physical education and sport". The whole design used yellow and blue to create the complementary harmony.

Book cover example 3

I found this book cover in library. I like it although its background is a little noisy , it definitely displayed what this guide book will tell us. The name of the book was posted in the middle, which was emphasized by position.

Good book cover 2


I found this book cover in library. I like it, because it used color contrast to show the depth, and used signal images to show the meaning.

book cover1!

I like this book cover, because I think the successful thing was that the designer used the wood texture to show the similar meanings of the content in the book .
