Other People's Stuff

This isn't mine, but I really, REALLY liked the layout of it. It's clever, fun, and cute. Most wedding invitations are only cute, or not even that. Some are just sorta weird. So I was grateful for this! It also tells a cool story too! Double prizes!! Err merh gerrsh! I LOVE the triadic color scheme! Primary colors all the way!

Click on the invite though. It's hard to see without the hugeness.


This dude is not mine either. In fact, none of these images in this post are mine.
I just liked him. Not because of the color scheme or whatever, but because of how it dramatically guides your eyes. Actually, it doesn't guide your eyes, I've decided. It more like kidnaps them. You see, (ba doo, tss!) your eyes travel up and down, up and down, then up and down again because of the red letters. It's a fantastic example of how design using high contrast and bold features in an extremely simple overall layout can really mess with your eyes without you noticing. The type just makes it all that much more awesome, too.


This is just a cool example of lighting and how complicated it is when you really stop and look. 

Cast shadow
Shadow core & edge
Direct light
Reflected light
Distant haze & linked atmospheric lighting because of perspective
Am I forgetting anything?
