Ellie's Easel: Bold Statements in Magazine Covers
http://ellieseasel.blogspot.com/2010/04/bold-statements-in-magazine-covers.html
Tuesday, April 6, 2010. Bold Statements in Magazine Covers. I found this example of Esquire magazine. With George Clooney on the cover to be quite intriguing. Not simply because George Clooney was on the front cover (i know hard to believe), but more so for the interesting design the company had taken for its front cover. Overall I think this magazine cover is really eye-catching and has many elements that make it a really creative and clever design! April 16, 2010 at 1:06 PM. View my complete profile.

Saturday, February 6, 2010. Using Color to Make Effective Advertisements. As with any alcoholic advertisement, the message associated with consuming these kinds of beverages elicits feelings of relaxation or fun.

Not only are the colors my favorite, but the vibrancy of the colors demand attention.

Ellie's Easel: The Letter M in the World of Advertisements
http://ellieseasel.blogspot.com/2010/02/letter-m-in-world-of-advertisements.html
Sunday, February 21, 2010. The Letter M in the World of Advertisements. We take the way typography enhances packaging and a products overall feel for granted.

I chose to evaluate the letter M in various advertisements and packaging that we as Americans see all the time. The first example I found of the letter M is the M from a Caribbean Rum bottle, Malibu. I think each use of the letter M in e...
