Where To Start?

This website makes me want to rip out my eyes! I honestly didn’t think it was possible for a website to be this awful. The design is confusing and unorganized. There is no common theme throughout this layout. The multiple pictures of merchandise are so random that I don’t even know where to begin or what belongs with what. There is no color scheme making this site super busy. Also there is no logo present giving this site an identity. The design is so poor and tacky that I would not trust it to buy anything for myself. I truly don’t understand how this website is still up and running

Olympics

This piece is brilliant because it uses the repeated black swirl to create the black circle within the Olympic logo. The black swirls follow the movement with the text on the page. Your eye moves around the piece but you are still able to get the full meaning behind it. The visual motif is the repeat line direction and movement.

Neon LATE!

This design is beautiful! I like how they use a neon sign on top of black because that is how we would see the sign at night. The three colors used are the RGB colors which I thought was pretty cool. I also enjoy how the three solo colors all come together in the end to make a real eye catching and fun sign!
