Coca Cola Sign


























For my blog this week I decided to use this old Coca-Cola bottle cap that I found in my garage. I love this because it is an enlarged bottle cap and it has a checker pattern in the center behind the words "Coca-Cola". I believe that the purpose of the checker pattern is to draw someone's eyes to the piece. Like if it was hung up at a restaurant, It would catch people's eyes because of the sudden change of pattern and how light would make it glow in a darker setting. I think it is really cool and different because it is graphic design on a big bottle cap.

Psychedelic Poster

I found this poster in a vintage store downtown. It caught my eye because it looks like an old anti-smoking ad from possibly the 70's. I'ts abstract design and popping colors made it really stand out in the store. The graphic style was the psychedelic style. It uses nice soft colors to make the reader feel comfortable and accept the ad.
