Avengers 2: Age of Ultron

This is the 2014 Comic Con poster for Avengers 2 : Age of Ultron. The poster shows a bunch of things happening at the same time. The superheros, throughout the poster are fighting the army of Ultron (the machine looking things). It is intended for people to get hyped up for the movie that is supposed to be released next year in April. This poster is bigger then most, because it takes up a landscape poster. Most posters are vertical.

There is not really one place where you could focus on, because the whole poster grabs your attention. There is too much happening in the poster. It could be possibly movie promotors are trying to promote that too much will happen in this film that would make it a great film. The designer should split the landscape poster into individual posters where it can focus on one or two superheros.

Summer Session

This is a flyer for Summer Session at California State University, Los Angeles through the College of Professional and Global Education. This is trying to get people thinking about taking summer school through the College of Professional and Global Education. It shows giant sun glasses that take most of the page. Inside the lenses it looks like if the sunglasses are staring at a island and there is a palm tree. There is a sun in the horizon and also shows there is a sea inside the glasses. Around it are two different kind of yellow hues that give off a carnival type of feeling. Also the text is a script and the red makes it look good on top of the yellow hue. Using this type of flyer during the winter would not be able to communicate the message.

The idea would be great idea because most people think of the beach when it comes to the summer, however this is a flyer for summer school. So putting a beach type feeling through the sunglasses does not give that vibe. It gives the opposite, the person who did this flyer should take that into account next time they re think of posting the flyer up online.

xbox one

This is the Xbox one, its the newest Xbox released by Microsoft late last year. It was the highly anticipated game system after the Xbox 360 system. The Xbox One is more of a block. A Blu-ray player has been added to the Xbox. It can fit well with flat screens. The Xbox one has half a terabyte, with 500GB of internal drive. Better high resolution graphics, better display. The Xbox has better Wi-Fi. It has a HDMI output, it can be connected to a TV or a projector. There's also a HDMI input, to plug in your cable provider. So in the screen you can be playing your video game while you have the TV on. You can Skype on TV using the Kinect system.

California Rivalry

There are a couple of famous rivalries in the state of California that range in all sports, but UCLA vs USC is one of the biggest ones that come into mind. Every year when these two teams play most of southern California is watching the game, you grow up cheering one team or the other. The design of the t-shirt is brought to you by The Forest Lab. The design is pretty basic but it outlays the California flag, and it shows the California bear standing up on two roaring at a fighting trojan. The trojan is in the color of red to promote USC colors. The bear is the bruin of UCLA. This is a great t shirt to add to your closet if you cheer on one of the the two teams. 

Knowing

This is a movie poster for the film of Knowing with Nicolas Cage. The poster is to inform people about that the the film comes out in summer of 2009. The design is dull, the whole poster is in black and the only thing that has has color is the planet Earth. The planet Earth seems to look as if it were burning up, but the things that are falling off the planet are numbers. The poster can be effective because it does not give anything away about the movie. Which can bring people in to go watch the movie or push people away from the movie.
The idea is to put all the attention on planet Earth and how it seems that it's burning up. Under the title of the film there is a sentence that says "What happens when the numbers run out". That can serve up as a cliff hanger as well. Do not watch the movie, it sucks.

Apple watches

These are the future in technology, they are Apple watches. They only have two different sizes 38 mm vs 42 mm in height as well. There are three different watch designs that are Apple watch, Apple watch sport, and Apple watch edition. Apple watch has a range of stylish bands. Apple watch sport have colorful durable bands. Apple watch edition stylish crafted bands. The watches are water resistant not water proof, so if a couple of were dropped on the watch or if your wrist is sweaty then it can still work. However if the watch is placed inside a pool, it probably won't work.
The idea of having watches that have all the apps that a phone can have can be both positive and negative. The watches can be positive for people who have an Iphone as well. So people can just pick one up and leave the other incase the other battery dies. Negative not lots of people will have an Iphone or the watch so you will have people coming up to you asking to see it and touching it to see if it actually works. The Apple watch is supposed to be released in early 2015.

Blue Eyes White Dragon

This is the Blue Eyes White Dragon card from Yu-Gi-Oh card game. The heigh of the card is 3.37 inches x width is 2.38 inches. It appears shiny because the card it self is a holographic card. When the cards are holographic it means a couple of things, it is the main card found in starter packs, the card is rare or just really good. The letters as well are holographic. Since the Blue Eyes White Dragon is starter pack holographic card the color of the card is a medium yellow hue. It has the illustration of the dragon put in a little box and there is a description of what the dragon does, or the meaning behind the card. It has the attack and defense and well. The idea of Yu-Gi-Oh are excellent, however the illustration box of the dragon should be bigger so people can value the art of the illustration.

Fire and ice baby

This is Trojan's Fire and Ice latex condoms box for 10 condoms. On the box it describes the condoms to give a warming and tingling sensations for both partners. The box colors are divided in two colors that are red violet color and a blue color. Both colors are cool colors and that kind of just throws off the box design. If it says that it is fire and ice, the person buying the condoms would think that fire should be red, red orange. Not red violet. The ice does not matter because blue goes in well with. Another design flaw of the box is that fire and ice remind the consumer of Icy Hot, which is a cream that starts off cool then heats up on the certain part of your body that is causing you pain. Does this work the same for both partners? Starts off cool then heats up? One would only imagine.

Crystal Head

This product is a Crystal Head Vodka bottle. The Crystal Head Vodka bottle was brought to America from Crystal Head Vodka company. The company is from Canada. The alcohol in the bottle is vodka, and it 40% alc./vol. The design of the bottle is of a human skull. This is a great design idea because it is a skull. Lots of people are attracted to the bottle because it is a skull. A design flaw, it would have been impressive if the bottle was as big as a real human skull. However, if the bottle were to be bigger the more alcohol it would contain and the more expensive the bottle would be.   

Find a new job.

Jobsintown.de, a German website ran some advertisements promoting "Life's too short for the wrong job". The advertisement above shows a man inside the machine that screens the bag on a monitor showing what you have in the bag. The message of the advertisement is affective from the bat. It is effective to show that a person should not do a job that a machine can do. Jobsintown.de carried more of these ads during 2006, and they were all effective. They all show people closed inside working in cramped spaces.
The meaning behind the advertisement leaves a impact on people, because it makes you wonder. In all these machines there really is not a person doing the job for the machine. The message is simple, if your job sucks quit it if you believe there is a better opportunity out there for you.

NFL Fake Jerseys

The jerseys in the left is a real authentic stitched NFL jersey that starts at off at $150 dollars. The jersey on the right is a fake NFL jersey that is also stitched and start off in some places online for $15 per jersey. These fake NFL jerseys, have the tags from the league, and the rubber seal on the neck area. Fake NFL jersey's has been a growing problems over the years because China has been able to produce close to the real jerseys for a really cheap price. The jerseys range through out all sports, not only the NFL, it has just taken over the NFL because jerseys are expensive.

The idea's of purchasing fake jerseys instead of real jerseys because in the long run it saves you money. In all honestly, not every one is able to tell the difference between a real or fake jersey unless you really stare at the jersey, or tell someone that it is fake. Darren  One of the only problems that is encountered with purchasing fake jerseys is that some creators of the jerseys can tend to make really bad jerseys where the teams last name is misspelled, wrong number or wrong team. Of course, the NFL has been able to close down some of the websites, but it is still a big impossible task to block each website from selling NFL fake jerseys.

One Laptop Per Child

The One Laptop Per Child laptop was a project created by OLPC. There goal is to provide each poor child with access to a low cost laptop. The software, and hardware was designed by the group to promote self learning. With the laptop OLPC helps children in education and learning to share moments together even though they might not have much for themselves. They have five principles that emphasis more then anything else. The first is the kids get to keep the laptops. Second is to focus on early education. Third no kid gets left out, the whole classroom and school gets them the same time. Fourth is each laptop has to be connected to the internet because children need the internet to learn. The fifth is to free and grow and adapt to the child. The software learns per the child and its education.

The design of the computer is rugged, meaning that it has a hard protection all around because children tend to drop things. The laptop has a screen that can be seen outside because most schools in these countries are taken outside. The laptop has long range Wi-Fi. The laptop has a camera built in camera. When the laptop is closed, it has a handle so the children can carry it around, it also has built in keyboard. Or you can flip the laptop screen, close the laptop and make it a tablet. It has one GB flash memory. The laptop can be a standard plug in power supply, it can be changed with batteries or solar powered. 

LiquiGlide

This is a bottle invention by LiquiGlide. LiquiGlide created bottles made out of glass and plastic. The bottles were created to improve the flow rate of bottles so it can prevent clogs in the bottles. LiquiGlide lets the solid be added into the bottle, it traps the material, the second material added is a liquid material that creates the solid be able to slide through the bottle. The liquid material is edible, it does nothing to the solid and it does not affect the solids taste.
This is a great idea because most bottles have a problem because when you turn a bottle to the side, the solid clogs up in the bottle. For an example, a ketchup bottle has to be hit on the bottom a couple of times for it to release the solid. The problem in this design is, what if you slide the liquiglide bottle but forget that it slides so easily that you release all the solid liquid onto your plate. It can be messy, but sure the plastic container, or a cap with a little hole release liquid can help.

Beat's Pill

This is the Dr. Dre's beats pill. The pill itself came out back in 2012. It is a portable, bluetooth speaker. The idea of a pill comes a capsule since Beat's once were owned by Dr. Dre. Hence the name, "Dr". The pill is 7.7 inches in length. It uses bluetooth to connect to a device, it also includes audio input and output jacks. They released Beats Characters which are the figures above the image of the pills. The characters head and arms can be moved around so they fit the person. You stick the pill inside the characters mouth and it holds the pill.
The idea of making the pill look like a capsule is kind of ironic because the creator of beats calls himself a doctor. This was the first product released after Beat's left Monster Cable. The design of a capsule should have been a square or a box that can possibly produce more sound. The pill itself has no bass at all, some people enjoy listening to their music with the bass. The pill also comes at a ridiculous price of 200 dollars, when their beat earphones can be bought at 100.  

Let's play basketball

This is a basketball, it is an inflated ball that is used for the game of basketball. Most basketballs that are used to play the game are made from leather, or rubber. Some balls come inflated, which they have a small opening where air pressure be added into the ball to make it a round service. A standard size of a basketball in the league can be from 29.5 to 29.875 inches. The game was created in 1891. When everyone sees the ball they recognize the sport automatically, the ball is not unique there are other several round balls. 

The idea of using a basketball for the game of basketball is basic fundamentals. No other balls is able to be used indoors or outdoors and still be able to bounce. Most indoor balls have to be broken into, meaning that the ball has to be used a couple of times indoors because it has more bounce then usual balls. A indoor ball can be used outside as well and it also provides the same bounce it would inside. 

Football.

This is a football, it is used for the game of american football. The football itself can be used by many people to play catch with. It can be used during kid's, middle school, high school, college, semi pro, professional football games. The football can be used outdoors, inside, rain or shine. Most people use it to play catch outside on a afternoon, or at a tailgate waiting for the game. There are many places in the world that have not felt the ball itself. They possibly have watched the game played on television but have not played itself.
The ball has gone from different versions from it first started in 1869. It has changed because the game has been more popular over the years, so they made it fit the game better. The ball itself is made out of leather. The leather is brown, which is used in all professional and college games. When it's elementary sports, the ball is different colors. Also referred to as a pigskin.
The only problem there is with the football is that is not a bouncing ball. Such as other sport balls, if bounced on the floor they would bounce up. If a football is bounced on a floor it bounces back but to a side. The ball is a different version around the world such as in Canadian leagues and Australian leagues.

Farmers Field?

Farmers Field is potentially the next home for the next Los Angeles football team. Los Angeles has not had a football team in Los Angeles since the Rodney King incident that made the Raiders go back to Oakland and the Rams back to St. Louis. However, with both teams contracts being up at end of the year with there stadiums there is hope for a team in Los Angeles once again. Farmers Field is the proposed stadium right behind the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles.
The stadium is currently on hold because there is no team currently in Los Angeles. It would be completed by 2017 if the NFL agrees on moving a team back to Los Angeles. It will make jobs for the community, and boost our economy. The idea of making a stadium in downtown Los Angeles does not suck. Yes, this would make more traffic for people on the 10 Freeway. However think about all the positive about having a team in one of the biggest city's in the United States. It will be a fun thing for Los Angeles since we have two of each sport, why not have at least one football team.

Less Stress.

The billboard is a HIV awareness billboard from AHF (Aids Healthcare Foundation). The billboard itself is used to inform people that AHF offers free HIV test. Passing by the billboard, people who have not been tested for HIV and are interested to know if they have HIV or not can simply log on to the website and make an appointment with their doctors. The billboard features a sleeping bulldog that looks happy sleeping. The idea is to encourage people to go and get tested. For some people this can be the first step in the right path. Many people have HIV and they are not aware of it. The bulldog plays the image of being less stress by knowing that you do not have HIV. However, there is difficulty seeing the comparisons between HIV and using a sleeping bulldog. Some people will understand the message while others would be questioning it.

Didn't you know?

The advertisement above is a combination of three different ad's that promote women as sexual objects. American Apparel has a women with her legs wide open, and with a bold message that says Now Open. (Hmmm, I wonder what exactly is open?) The second ad is of a tattooed woman who is appears to be naked underneath her hijab. The third ad is of a women pressing her breast along a cologne by Tom Ford.
Who are the messages intended for? Men. What other way to grab a mans attention without using beer, or sports.
Women over the years have been viewed as sex objects when it comes to using them on advertisements. Most men will take a look into cologne by Tom Ford just because the image excited them. When seeing the first image what other message is American Apparel trying to send with its title that says Now Open in Arial font than sex sells. You view the image of the women and most men tend to think oh, I should look into going to American Apparel clothing.
The second ad is of a women in a hijab. A hijab is a veil that covers up the head and most time the chest of Muslim women around other men who are not there husband or family. The message from the second ad is not mostly intended for men but for Muslim women to be proud to show off there skin. Most Muslim women can not do that because of there religion views.
 The third ad is by Tom Ford, which is a upper scale of men clothing. What exactly is the message saying? Besides with the simple, buy the cologne you will get women to lust for you.

Winning Takes Care of Everything.

The image above is an advertisement of Nike featuring world famous golf star Tiger Woods. Tiger Woods once was considered the world's best golfer, but since late 2009 he has not been the same player. Tiger was caught in a big sex scandal which eventually affected his play. 

Till this day he has not been the same player.

Nike is recognized by the swoosh. Nike has also been one of Tiger's biggest supporters over the years. Back in early 2013 this advertisement was posted on social media accounts, when Tiger reached the ranking of number one golfer in the world (a title he did not have for almost 3 years.) The ad itself is trying to intend a message to people. A message that received a backlash for trying to promote just win and the world will forget all about your wrong doings. 

Nike's idea of trying to promote that winning takes care of everything is a solid advertisement. Most people will tend to disagree since it causes controversy, however we live in a society where many people are like that. Sports wise, if you are a convicted killer but still can play some ball, people will still buy your jersey. There will always be people calling for your head on social media accounts, but at the end of the day winning does take care of everything.
