Have you ever been blown away by design? As in there was one moment where you just stare in awe at the said design whether it be a poster, flyer, image, or business card. I can hear in my head a kid saying "WHOA!" really slow and almost under their breath. Then again, I am known to have some geekier moments fairly often.
I've recently had that reaction to a couple of different designs, more specifically to two designs that I can remember. Of course, I'm not going to share the awe-inspiring designs. One design more than the other has really stuck with me as just beyond comprehension. Once you see the image and then a close up, you'll understand.
Meet the "Tree Rings" poster for Animal Concerns Research & Educational Society. They wanted to "raise awareness on the plight of Earth's animal species due to deforestation." So what they came up with provides the insight that the lives of animals start and ends with trees. All of those rings you see of the tree, yeah those are individual animals. Below the poster is an up close image where you can really see the animals. How awesome is this poster? (And how creative?)
The second poster is more applicable to my own life (and can serve as an inspiration). I recently volunteered to create a flyer for an upcoming event. (I'm hoping I can convince them a poster type something would be awesome too.) This poster is for a local event (proceeds are going to buy wigs for women going through chemotherapy who can't afford them). I think my favorite part about this poster is the women's silhouettes. Also, I love the company that created this poster, Harvest Creative. They are out of Memphis, TN (which is really close to me)!
