Bounce to Freshness

This is such a great design both to the consumer and to the designer. Design wise it is great because it is it uses contrasting warm colors and light colors to create high contrast and vibrant colors. Also the name of the brand is large and almost centered so it is clear what the name of the brand is. Everything about the design is very bright and modern but also it has the image on the right of the sheets hanging out in a field which represents freshness and shows that the product is for laundry. The whole package is made to attract the consumer and make them buy it, which I believe it is successful in.

Tropical Glade

I love the design on this can of Glade room freshener. The colors on the can are analogous colors and correlate with sent of the spray. The sent is Hawaiian Breeze so it has the traditional hawaiian flower and a pineapple which are all symbols that are often associated with the idea of "Hawaiian" scented things. The color orange was probably chosen to go with the pink flower, I enjoy the orange gradient it gives it a unique look and the type face is legible but also fun, Overall the can is very colorful and fun which makes it a standout to consumers.

Tis the Season


I like to logo design on these bottles of seasonings because of the warm feeling they portray. I like the use of tan and maroon colors the say warm, friendly, and inviting which is important when making a household kitchen products. I also love the name of the company "Tastefully Simple" it makes the consumer feel like they are tastey but yet it doesn't require a lot of work with these to achieve great tasting food. The type face for this product is also appropriate it looks classy but not too over elegant and formal. Overall the products have a great look and are attractive to the consumers.

Twilight

This is the cover for the Twilight book the first one of the series which I think is a very well designed book cover. The black, white, and red colors create high contrast and make the cover look mysterious. Also, It is unknown why the hands and arms are so white and the reason for the apple but, after reading the book you understand why the cover is designed the way it is. I like the type face is appropriate for the story plot because the book takes place in Washington so it is very "forest" like. I think that that title could be a little larger but the image itself it interesting enough to draw the audience in and make them interested in getting the book.

The American Drink

The pepsi can is such a simple design but it is recognized by everyone, you can tell it is an american drink because of the red, white, and blue. The design makes it seem like it is a traditional american drink that everyone drinks. To me the circle represents the globe of the world and how their design of pepsi takes over the world. It is more of a logo then a design because of the simplicity and minimal shapes. I also like the simple type face and the placement and how it is different it goes up and down instead of left and right.

Catnip

This is a bag of cat treats that I bought for my kitten, This brand stuck out to me when shopping for her because of the bag design. The bag is cute, fun, and colorful which will make it stand out to customers and make them want to buy it, also they are very affordable and my kitten loves them. The bag is mostly yellow, green, and neutral colors which plays on the idea that they are "natural" because they are earthy colors. The cartoon cat and chicken make the bag cute and playful and the cat is hiding for the chicken because the treats are chicken flavored and the brand name is "Temptations" and the cat is tempted by the chicken. Overall I like the design I think it is effective and it sells well because of it.

Redbull gives you wings

This is a can of redbull with a very simple yet eye catching design. Other then the can being silver it is made only of primary colors, red, blue, and yellow. The Geometry in the design create a cool eye catching can with the blue squares and the little yellow circle in the middle and the simple red type face. Everything is very simple yet the red bulls in the center give it some flair and represent the actual title of the drink. I enjoy the design but the only complaint I have is that it is an energy drink and maybe the design should be more high energy to show what the product is supposed to do to the consumer.
