I love what people do with type and these are a really nice use of how type can be used as art.

I'd like to extend a big thank you to Jens Göttert who e-mailed me the following wine labels after reading my first entry about wine labels. They are from his family's former wine company Dilthey, Sahl & Co. (1815-1969) from Rüdesheim am Rhein. It's interesting to see how things have changed over the years. Or didn't change.

I went to the library Friday and while looking at the new books rack I found one called "Devil's Gold" by Julie Korzenko.
I'm pretty impressed with the graphic design for the book cover. The font is unique and I'm not sure who designed it. I love how the texture and colors are as well. The book is about an oil company wanting to drill more in the Niger Delta and they're evil enough to put a hit out on a woman who doesn't want to lie to OPEC about this oil company's practices not being up to code.
The textures and colors really fit in with what the book is about because it just looks toxic.
It's so much better than this book cover.

I was flipping through my August issue of Allure when I came across the new Donna Karan advertisement for her "Be Delicious" Big Apple fragrance. It's like a Roy Lichenstein painting. There are a series of print advertisements that look are pop art.
Here are just a couple samples.
The packaging is limited edition and is also pop art.
The old one is quite plain when compared to the limited edition pop art packaging. I'm glad that DKNY introduced the pop art because it's a breath of fresh air when compared to other perfume's packaging.
What's really cool is that the pop art packaging is extending to more than just the fragrance.

April 27th marked the 14th anniversary of World Graphics Day created by icograda to celebrate commercial design and its impact upon the word.
I'd like to write more about it, but I must confess to never hearing about this holiday until late tonight. Next year I'll be more diligent and create something nice to commemorate the holiday.

Holland Civic Theatre, a non-profit business, has been in business for 50 years and is looking to the community to design a new logo to celebrate the anniversary (and future seasons). The logo will be used on programs, letterhead, brochures, and more for the theatre.
The first prize is a $250 in art supplies from Fris Office Outfitters and recognition throughout the theatre's 50th season as well as 2 passes to all shows during the 50th Anniversary Season.
The 2nd and 3rd prizes are not as yet named, but there will be prizes awarded.
All people who enter logo designs will receive a pair of tickets for use during their 50th season.
Either way, it's a win-win contest.
The entries are being judged on creativity, uniqueness, and will be evaluated by a professional graphic designer.
The rest of the details such as the due date (not until 2009), the entry form, and eligibility are posted on their website at Holland Civic Theatre.
If you'd like your logo posted on my blog, send me the file at devreser@yahoo.com.
Good luck to all who enter the contest.
