Recently I read the article from the link below. The article explores graphic design in small places such as on book covers, album covers, film titles, money and stamps. I was particularly drawn to the sections on album covers and stamps. This is because they are such small areas but they prove that design doesn’t need a large space to be effective. In my personal opinion I prefer design that is simple and uncomplicated as it sends a clearer message and is more aesthetically pleasing to view.

I also like the set up of the article as it is spaced out and easy to read. There are also collages of images throughout which make it a nice visual piece. This is also fitting for the topic of graphic design.

I can take inspiration from this work in my own as I like the simplicity of the writer’s thoughts and although I may not apply the same ideas visually, the thought process is a positive one to consider.
