This poster is so amazing, I am so in love with ampersands. There are so many gorgeous ampersands, it's nice to see some of them in a poster layout. This poster design is done by Douglas Wilson. I love the relation from ampersands to the eye chart. The bold black on white gives the poster lots of contrast.
This site has a very obvious grunge and antique theme throughout. The site is very visually cohesive and uses many fonts, somehow making them all work together. I like the tab system established on the side for navigation. I think it is a very clever idea and nicely laid out. The way it looks exactly like a newspaper is just great and very convincing.

This poster for the Iron Man 2 movie is very interesting to look at, it's just very cool. It is very related to the constructivist style by using minimum large blocks of colors and overlapping figures. This is hands down one of the best movie posters I have seen in a long time. I really wish more movie posters these days would use this style. The composition of the poster goes around in a circular motion which ties everything together. It's also great how related it is to the actual comic look, I like how they stuck with it and made it look awesome.

These iphone covers are so colorful and inspiring. The illustration for these are definitely not lame like most of the iphone covers. The colors from the koi fish are just so beautiful and reminds me of a nice colorful tattoo. The illustrated type is just flat out awesome, I wouldn't mind sporting that cover at all. They are fitted hard shells for the phones and are pretty sturdy.

This architecture is so awesome! This 1,700-square-foot extension to what was once a 1,000-square-foot Edwardian-style home. The crazy cantilevered design is quite a risk. The architects, from what I read, designed it that way in order to sidestep a building code that restricted how close they could get to the property’s edge. The owners, two doctors with three children, named the home “Trojan” because when they close the window shutters, they can see out but no one can see in. The architecture has amazingly clean lines and color, so simple, yet gorgeous.

This web site by Filipe Carvalho is very swiss type. I really like how the type goes off the site. The colors are minimal and nice. The font chosen for the site is a nice choice for the look and feel he was going for. I would really love to learn how to design a web site like this because I would really love to include in swiss type in mine. The elements repeating are very nice as well.
I really like the type used in this web site, it is designed very nice. It is busy but very well done, I really like the color choices. It goes with the look it is trying to achieve. The navigation is easy to find and use. I enjoy how the grid is used in the design of the page. The grey squares are very nice and give it lots of contrast. This site is very typographical and has easy navigation.
