This is a piece of design that I find very interesting and
aesthetically pleasing. I think this is due to the simple geometric shapes used
and the repetition within the design helps to enforce the ideas portrayed. The
design has almost been cut into three narrow strips with all the strips being
identical, keeping the image very simple and very bold. It is fairly monochrome
with a slight section of red which really draws in the audience. The text,
which says ‘Wu Lyf’, is the name of the band and designers of this piece of
artwork. I like how although it has also been repeated three times within the
design, you can still only see one whole version of the type as the other two
have been cut from the edges. The reason
that I enjoy this design so much is mainly due to how well it communicates the
band and their views and opinions. Although this work has a very niche audience,
I think it is still extremely recognisable as a piece of their work to those
who are familiar with it.
Hate
These are taken from the vast collection of ‘Keep Calm' posters. They are very simple and only really use white text on a block coloured background. The message within the designs, due to its easily reproducible appearance, can vary greatly and usually have no real purpose or meaning, making the whole design pointless. I think due to its recent popularity there have been so many of these types of posters floating around which is why I now strongly dislike them. I feel that they now take no real design skill to produce as they are all straight forward copies of previous examples.
