When I look at an advertisement or logo, I take consideration into the detail and way the composition is put together. If it is boring I may overlook it. I decided to become a graphic designer because I love the feeling i get when I have created something that makes me take a second glance. The satisfaction of creating a design is doubled when I can please my client as well. I want my client to stand out. Therefore, I want my work to be recognized. Hopefully I will eventually do this with magazine layouts.
I find Alexey Brodovitch's graphic design work appealing because his style is very vintage. The typography on some of the work he did in Bazaare magazine is very feminine and can gracefully take up the length of a page without leaving unoccupied space looking awkward.
If I could design the cover of any music artist's cd, I would design for Meredith Andrews. The reason for this is because her past cd covers tend to follow a certain type of design that I like. Her designs usually lean towards a vintage, victorian style.
