Statham - The Cars
My name is Shelley and I am a ComDes major. I will be graduating in August so I am looking forward to getting out into the real world and putting some of the skills I have learned to use.
Osorio - Durex Poster
Hello,
My name is Christian Osorio. I am native to Houston, Texas. Before transferring to Texas State in the fall of 2009 I acquired an associate degree with a focus in graphic design. I am now working toward my bachelor's degree in Communication Design with a minor in MassComm.
This is not necessarily my 'favorite' poster but the way they went about advertising this product is one of my favorite ways of conveying a message. Although very simple, this poster gets a big message across. 'Use our product and you will save a lot of money.' I find it simple, clever, unique, a bit humorous, and the message is clear.
Sanders - No Coast Craft-O-Rama
I am a senior, about to graduate in August. Interesting things about me: I am left handed, I only know how to knit scarves and baby booties, and I fist bumped Adam West at Austin Comic Con last year.
I chose this poster because I really like the color scheme and I love the folk art-y style.
Boothby, Legos
I'm Laura Boothby and a communication design major. I plan to take my communication design major and hopefully find a job dealing with graphic design and art direction. Something interesting about me would be that I'm addicted to tortillas and queso, I actually do like Four Lokos, HUGE Cubs and Broncos fan, and that I used to do Irish dancing when I lived in California! haha
One of my favorite posters are the Legos advertisements. My professor of my first communication design class showed us this poster in a lecture and I found it was super clever. I love simplicity and the Legos ads speak loud for how simple it is. The point behind legos is for kids to create and use their imagination and the Legos posters provide that really well.
Anderson "Why So Serious?"
The assignment directions say to write "something interesting about you", but it just so happens that just about everything about me is pretty darn interesting. My name is Miles Anderson. I have been into art my entire life and decided to pursue a career that could provide me with an outlet for my creativity. I feel that I was blessed with talent and intelligence (not to mention dashing good looks), so I try my best to to use them to their fullest extent.
Now for the poster. I love a lot of posters, far too many to post. In the interest of time, I went with one that was a little more contemporary that I thought was awesome when I first saw it. Everyone probably recognizes it by now, maybe to the point that some view it as a bit "played out." But I say f*** it, the poster is great. The fact that has seen so much exposure is the purpose of poster, in my opinion.
So, without further ado, here is the Why So Serious? poster for the very popular film, The Dark Knight:
Webber - Spirit movie poster
"The Spirit" may have been a boring movie, you can't deny that this movie poster is pretty damn cool. What I love about this poster is it combines all the movie posters into one collection as billboards amongst a burning and dark city background. The colors, ranging from amber to black pop out and are just absolutely gorgeous as explosions and fire. Eve Mendes', Samuel J. Jackson's and Scarlett Jonansson's eyes certainly call the viewer's attention while Sarah Paulson expression is stuck in her own train of thought. If I can find this poster, I would like to hang it in my living room next to my other "Spirit" movie poster.
This poster contains more action then the movie...lol.
