How Many Words Can Fit? @ 2:52 AM

I found this set of images in the Communication Arts January/February 2011 issue. This was created for Crate & Barrel for their cocktail set of words. You can't really read the tiny print, but a lot of the words are related to the actual items (even sometimes, they will have the word "ice" in them with a square to represent what could potentially be the ice cubes). This brings an engagement to my eye because one could've simply taken a picture of the object and used the keywords inside of the pieces towards an advertisement. Instead, they choose to engage the viewer with as many words as possible and to let the viewer have their own imagination about the product. Simple, yet very inviting. Almost reminds me of what Lou Dorfsman did with the wall of type!

you think you know me.

My name is Abriel and I just received my Computer Science degree from the University of Illinois Springfield's online program this Spring. Now, I'm pursuing my A.A.S. in Graphic Design at Parkland College designing print and website designs. Eventually, I will become "the master of the web" (or a webmaster) and a graphic designer.
