In letterpress class we are making concert posters. These are some great inspirations that I found.

This website reminded me of the Maine Oyster Fest.
They did a nice job of incorporating photography in with their logo and textures.
The detail of how the first image loads is well thought through.

Ribbons of Red

"Graphic design is more than just pretty colors and fancy fonts; its about the story you are telling to your customers."

Re-branding in a very clean style seems to be Ribbons of Red's specialty. I especially liked Studio Z and the PubliciTweet redesign. How the logo was carried through in the PubliciTweet website is well thought out.

Website inspiration

Here are some websites that I used as inspiration for my web design:

I like how clean and simple this website is. I also like the icons that go with each category.

Very well done! The way all of the information is worked into the Seuss landscape is very clever.

This blog, which is all about children's book design and illustration, has been an excellent resource and inspiration for The Toy Store redesign. Check it out.

Troubles finding the right words?

After hours of research I tend to end up with images on my desktop without an origional source. This reverse search engine allows you to upload and image taken from the internet and it will give you the URL's on which it resides. Its pretty helpful and can let you know if your image has been used for other purposes.
