For this blog, I chose to do something a little different and look at the actual magazine covers of the communication arts covers.  I found these on their website and chose to do it because no one has done it and it shouldn't go unrecognized.  The function of this design is to captivate people into wanting to open this up and see the top designs of the time.  It has done this very well by using clean and appealing type, a unique and captivating logo and very clean artwork and designs used for the front cover.  The covers of all of them are also very good at being unified, as they have the same layout, but they are also different causing variety.  The color schemes of type are perfectly matched with the image and the colors are changed  according to the design or picture used.  I chose this because of how I am currently working on making the billboards into three unique but unified works.

This is a typeface made to fit in any space and to fill in as much negative space as possible.  I found this typeface in communication arts, made by David Ross.  The function of this type face is to communicate very subtly through the hard to read type.  It can function as a interesting design layout also.  I chose this for its very unique way to display type and in a very visually impactful way.  This type, also very hard to read , is very interesting and has a great sense of negative space.  Not as practical and applicable but it does have a very loud and bold feel to it that attracted me to it when I first saw it.
