 ART WORK 

David Carson makes simple whit and black body copy interesting and it would stand out is put next to any other simple black and white poster. its drawing me in because of the use of white spacing creating the rest of the poster and how his name sits on the top in red is crazy but it work because it makes you look and its unique. i like how the words 'legibility' is kerned, the different spacing makes it fun to read. it also looks like its the white from the background is reversed making the words 'for communication'.

This Fall 2010 gallery for the University is interesting because it looks like their is a heart in he middle, i like he way the weight of texts had been played with and it gives different words different level of hierarchy. 

This poster is bold because of the red used, its advertising a product placed in shops so using red will link to store sales which will attract customers. the red looks like its attacking the words in the middle drawing your eyes to it. 

my Extermination in the style of David Carson - tried to use the white coming in from the edges to attack the word in the middle, I found working in the style of David Carson hard but fun, because you get to explore your imagination but restrict it to text.
