ILLINI

I was at the Illini game last Friday, and I was looking at the new floor that was just redone. I noticed the the BIG10 logo. I like this logo because it is so clever. It gets across there name in a quick and simple way. The function of this logo is to advertise the BIG10 conference and BIG10 network so people will come to game and watch games on tv.

Vinylmation

This is a box for Disney Vinylmation figures. They are small 3 inch figures in the shape of Mickey Mouse, but they have a Disney character printed on them. I collect these figures, and they are so awesome. When I pick one out, I use the box to help me decide because the figure is a mystery . You don't know what figure you are going to get you only know the theme. The boxes are about as cool as the figures. They are so creative! Each side is different. They are all clean, crisp, and bright. The function of the box is to catch a buyer's eye with its bright fun colors and designs so they want to buy it, and then it helps the buyer choose which theme they want to purchase.

Best-Ever Recipies


This is one of many cook books at my house. The peach cake looks delicious. It tells you right on the cover that this is a really good recipe. The cover is cleanly laid out and brings attention to the cake. It is eye catching because of the title and the cake. The purpose of the cover is to gain the readers attention and make them want to bake the cake and buy the book.

Parade Magazine

     I found this issue of Parade magazine on my coffee table at home. Parade magazine comes every Sunday with The Newz Gazette. This issue, in particular, caught my eye. The bold white lettering really stood out on the red background, and once I looked at the title, I began reading the article. That was exactly what the cover was supposed to do. It's function was to catch the attention of someone so they will want to read the rest of the magazine. The cover was designed very nice. It was informative, clean, and easy to read. It encouraged me to read next weeks issue.

High Noon

This week I was in Florida. It was hot and sunny. High Noon Beach Resort is where I was staying. This is a t-shirt my mom got. Their logo was so cool! It's fun and bright and the little lizard is really cute. It's also very nice and clean. The function of this t-shirt is to help advertise for the resort so more people will stay there.
