Describe what it is: An ad for North Face clothing and acessories.

Describe its function: To get people to want to buy their clothing.

Describe where you saw it: I originally saw it in a magazine.

Discuss the style of the design and typography: It is digital and the typography is clean and simple.

Discuss the quality of the artwork: Its pretty decent, the book bag is in good proportion to the ant.

Discuss what attracted you to the piece: Its humorous.  It takes a fact, that is somewhat interesting and uses it to sell their product, buy saying that their book-bags are so good if ants could use them, they could carry twice as much.



Describe what it is: Its the dvd cover for a documentary, "Invisible Children".

Describe its function: To intrigue people to want to watch it.

Describe where you saw it: My roommate owns the dvd.

Discuss the style of the design and typography: The design is modern, I think the typography fits the image very well. Its kind of rough, which goes with the documentary.

Discuss the quality of the artwork: It is very well done. It definitely would spark anyone's attention. The child holding the gun is very provocative and the Title and the words,"discover the unseen", are somewhat mysterious if you are not completely familiar with the dvd.

Discuss what attracted you to this piece: When I first saw this, I aromatically wanted to watch it, I was not completely sure of exactly what it was about, but the cover draws you in.
