This is a label for a bottle of wine. Now that I am in this class I am starting to see certain inspirations from the graphic art periods. I saw this in a art design magazine and it screamed Swiss/International. The quality of the art work is hard to tell through this scan, but I do enjoy the flush typeface with a a real strong use of a grid. The international style has to be one of my favorite periods so this easily caught my eye.

This is a retro designed poster mimicking the International Typographic Style of the mid 50's to the mid 70's. I saw this poster on a website where the artist is selling prints of his work. The quality of his work is pretty well done, a lot of his designs that claim to be of Swiss style are somewhat off. This particular poster seems to get it pretty right. It has the flush left and ragged right font setting, abstract shapes that are asymmetrical. The font is also a sans-serif that would have been predominately used during that period. I was attracted to this piece when looking through a website called Touch of Modern. It really seemed to fit with the theme.

This is a promotional poster for the major motion picture Ocean's Twelve. I own this movie and remembered it when doing homework for this week. Neville Brody is the designer for this particular poster. I have always enjoyed the 12 on the tilted axis, and the red, white, and black color scheme. This design is more put together to be considered in the true style of postmodernism. With that being said though, knowing that Brody did the design I see a lot of the postmodernism's motifs. I would call this poster postmodern.

This is a identity for a brand of furniture that I saw at Target over the weekend. These wordmarks were everywhere promoting their new mid-century modern style under this label. The design has a real elegant look and the designer did a great job with appropriating the style of the furniture with the logo. The initial reaction I got from this wordmark was a art deco feel. I feel it bleeds into the late modernism era as well. The style of the sixty-two closely resembles the Broadway font of the art deco period.
