Lesson 16 Print Advertisement Reflection

These two COACH ads are to be featured side by as a whole in a fashion magazine.  There is not really a line other than the Coach logo.  I really like this ad because of the color and detail.  There are a lot of products being advertised all at once.  The most dominant product is the yellow leather purse.  Then the viewer starts to notice all of the other items--the scarf, bracelets, necklace, belt, cardigan.  I also love the green lattice background.  The photographer did a great job including it in focus and out of focus.  Overall, this is a really creative way to advertise several items at once and is very visually stimulating. 

Illustrator Composite Logo Design

I designed this for a quilting store I visited while on Spring Break with my parents in Idaho.  The logo actually features a fabric that is sold in the store!

WORST

These are totally my opinions, and I would love to hear feedback!

Charlize Theron in Christian Dior

I HATE this dress!  I hate the colors. I hate the plain-ness.  I hate the bodice.  I just hate it!  The only thing I like is the train fabric carried over from the front.  Too bad because I love Charlize!

Zoe Saldana in Givenchy

I love the top of this dress & I would love the bottom if wasn't so busy & full, but overall.....Not.  Way to take a risk by wearing couture though!

Mariah Carey in Valentino

I really am not loving this dress.  I don't know if it's the color or the assymetric hemline.

Diane Kruger in Chanel

I love the idea of this dress and the fabrics and the texture, but something about it just isn't working for me.  It makes her look really short.

Miley Cyrus in Jennie Packham

Miley, there is something wrong when your mom looks way better than you!

BEST

Sarah Jessica Parker in Chanel

One of my most favorite dresses EVER.  I love the reverse halter & the metallic details.  Her jewelry was perfect, too.  She is stunning!

Rachel McAdams in Ellie Saab

STUNNING!  I love the colors, the fabric, the pleats, EVERYTHING!  It's amazing & looks fantastic on her.

Queen Latifah in Bagdley Mischka

Queen Latifah picked the perfect dress for her shape!  I wish i could have found a picture of the back because it was equally as amazing!  The one shoulder style are super in right now, too! 

Jennifer Lopez in Armani Prive

I'm mixed on this one, but overall I love it.  I love the unique bodice, the train to the side and the fabric, but I would like to see her in a warmer color.  Overall, amazing!

Sandra Bullock in Marchesa

Ridiculously Stunning!  The way the light hit the fabric when she was on stage was absolutely incredible!  Way to go Sandra!!!

Sandy Powell-Oscar winner for Costume Design

I wish I could have found a picture of the whole dress, but I LOVED this.  I love the hat & the huge cuffed bangles.  She was incredible!  And I have decided that I want to win an Oscar for costume design someday.  This was her THIRD!  She won for "The Yound Victoria" & in the past she won for Aviator & Shakespeare in Love.

Elizabeth Banks in Versace

My FAVORITE dress of the entire night!  I LOVE the color, the skirt, the bodice, absolutely EVERYTHING about it!

VECTOR IMAGES

To kick off our Illustrator portion of this class, I decided to find examples of vector images.

I'm pretty sure these were all created using coral Draw, but I would love to learn how to do something similar in Illustrator!  Aren't these AMAZING!
