I spotted this font while Christmas shopping with family. What first got my attention was the stacking of the words, similar to that of Project 3. "The" is a script font (hand written look), and "Christmas" and "Shoppe" are likely from the same font family in geometric slab. There is no contrast in stroke weight and the "o" is perfectly symmetrical. The colors used for the fonts stand out against the dark background (I don't agree with the use of black however) and I feel like this composition is successful.

I was walking through Michael's Craft Store when I stumbled upon this decorative block. What caught my attention was the similarity to Project 3 with stacking words on top of each other. The font used is a Geometric Sans, based on the straight leg and narrow "R", the circular roundness of the "C" and "O", and the lack of serifs. For the most part I feel like this piece is well done, however I do not like how the font is relatively all the same size. It's hard to tell what is the most important part when it's all screaming at you practically.

I found this font while walking around the hardware store. What caught my attention was the stacking of the words, similar to that of Project 3 in class. The font itself is a Geometric sans. Letters, such as the capital "A", "T"and "O", are equally symmetrical when divided down the center. They also lack serifs and spurs. The stacking of the letters seems to work alright, but kerning is needed in places, such as the "N" next to the "T", for they are too close together. Also the lighter red font against a darker red background is hard to read, they should have stuck with all white lettering or chosen a different/lighter red for the smaller font.

I found this journal in Barnes and Noble. What caught my attention was the anomaly of the red bar with the inverse lettering, which I really like. The font is a Geometric sans. The letter "O" is perfectly circular in shape and many of the letters can be divided equally down their axis', such as the "A", "H", and "T". I feel like this composition really works well. The designer used proper kerning and spacing between the words, and created a visually interesting effect with the red bar.

This book bothers me a lot. Even if this book is written by well known authors (honestly I can't say I've heard of either of them), the enlargement of their names and the thicker font used demands too much attention of the viewer and draws away from the actual book title. The cover itself has a lot going on and makes me feel anxious, because everything (the authors, the title, and the background) are all screaming for equal attention. The shattered look of the title also bothers me. I think they should have made the authors names smaller and below the title, rather than above it. Again, this is a Geometric sans font with different weights.

I am not as bothered by the large author name at the top of this book, in comparison to the last one. It feels more balanced with the other text and image below. The color scheme is also more simple and easier on the eyes. Contrast was used well with the smaller text between the larger texts. It's a Geometric sans, for it lacks serifs and spurs. Also the letters, "A", "W" and "O" are symmetrical when divided down the center.

What caught my attention about this book cover was the vertical "THE" sharing the "H" of the "PERIPHERAL." A clever and unique technique, instead of simply using a vertical alignment for the words. The font is a Neo-Grotesque Sans. The "R" has a curved leg and is very wide. The strokes themselves hold no to little contrast. I like how the eyes of the closed letters are filled in and that a heavier weight was used for most of the letters in "PERIPHERAL". Overall, I think this composition is simple and works.
