For this blog i was trying to find some thing a little bit different. I think that I was successful. This is an image that comes from Ilovetypography.com. The first thing that you will notice is that the type is printed on a piece of fruit. Most people find it easier to print on some type of paper but not the folks at Ilovetypography.com. The piece creates a strong contrast between the light green/yellowy color of the fruit and the sharp black writing. The type on the piece is also very clean and neatly placed. The readability is clear and the type is easy to follow no matter where the viewer starts out from. The piece creates movement by the works going around the pear. What makes this piece unique is how the viewer is supposed to interact with the object. This is an object that is meant to be picked up and turned so that the viewer can read all of the type. The type is unique in that it completely wraps around the fruit, no beginning and no real end. The font that is used is a serif font. There is visual interest created through the object itself and the different type sizes help to create hierachy right in the center of the fruit.

This design quickly caught my attention. I think that it was the color scheme that drew me into the piece. The way that the green and yellow are blended together so effortlessly. The half lemons and limes help to reinforce the color scheme. The next part that caught my attention way the way that the designer carries the viewer through the piece. The typography takes you from one end of the page to the other. The only complain that I would have is that it may take the viewer off of the page too quickly and it also does not carry the viewer through the whole piece just from left to right. There are so many small elements to this design such as the drops of water in the background, I have to ask myself what is their purpose and how do they tie into the rest of the design. The piece is visually appealing and flows nicely but there is one major problem, you can't read the typography. You can make out some of the letters but you can't tell what is saying, the message to the viewer is getting lost. Other than that the piece works well.
