Using the online resources that you have been introduced to in the lecture studio workshop and with reference to the quotes used in the 'What is Graphic Design - Part 1' Presentation. Source, present and blog. examples of current design practice that reflect your creative interests. Choose 5 criteria from the list below that will guide your selection of work:
The use of Identity and the tone of voice is clearly stated as love.
Again looking at identity this communicates playful and childish amusement. I think this can be seen via how the the use of a babies mobile.
http://www.graphicthoughtfacility.com
I think that the tone of voice is ironic and commercal.
http://www.doylepartners.com/
Again from The New York Times, this particular piece is personbal to me and it shows how equality is such a difference when people go to university. To see what people are like when they leave their home comforts and find who they really are. I think the tone of voice is educational. http://www.doylepartners.com/
Simplicity of Design;
http://www.booooooom.com/2012/09/10/designer-maggie-chok/
I really like the simplicity in this piece how a very short sentence can be an entire piece in its own right on a white background.

I'm not the biggest fan of photogrpahy but i thought this really communicates simplcity of so many issues.
http://www.booooooom.com/blog/photo/
Photos by Jessica Eaton. the simpcity and use of colour in the work is something which i find quite inspiring. the simple use of a two tone background and the cubes work really well.
Infogrpahics are something i really like and this particular piece has a sense of busy although it its simple creating a juxtapostion.
This is one of the most simple of designs and its one of the most noticable piece of icon work ever in my opinion.
Meaning or Message:
I selected this image because it echos the image i selected above. the message is one of satire and it reflects the restroom idea.
As part of the ongoing bluefin tuna campaign, Greenpeace UK are working to stop up-market restaurant chain Nobu selling endangered tuna by raising awareness and encouraging Nobu's customers to put pressure on the restaurant owners to stop serving the endangered species on their menu.

http://www.uhc-collective.org.uk/portfolio.php?tag=33&project=23
For three years running UHC created the campaign posters for Camp For Climate Action. 2008 year's work included website design, various campaign flyers, sticker sheets, banners, newspapers and, of course, the now infamous e.on f.off badge.
http://www.uhc-collective.org.uk/portfolio.php?tag=33&project=105
The Airfixed consultation collusion kit was created as part of Greenpeace's aviation campaign against the proposed new third runway at Heathrow Airport.
This image is one which helped changed the world we livbe in today and I think this gives it a huge meaning for something so contempary.
Aduience interaction:
Each of these are clever or charming and has a impression on the audience. because each one requires input from the viewer. i am a massive fan of work which requires the viewer to engage with the work so then you have a connection with the viewer which cannot be lost.
Style or aesthetic quality;
Stella Artios; she is a thing of beauty.

These piecesIi chose due to their style quality. How they deilberately attack the general sense of society and demand respect in that case.

The New York Times
It's important to us to be engaged in the public discourse of the country. I really like the use of type in this piece as well as the tone of voice of how the people bend the truth so much until its meaningless.
