Description: The use of a muted beige colour for a larger portion of this image makes the design very gentle on the eyes. This also helps by accentuating the (comparatively) saturated pink encasing the second can from the front, which helps draw the viewers’ attention directly onto the cans and establishing the main subject of the image.  The use of a solid black for the font also helps the text form a bold contrast from the background. The text written largely in Chinese also lends an almost urban feel for the design, which combined with the decorative barcode below, makes the piece feel like a pre-existing, modern product. The implication of the design as packaging is further reinforced by the use of what is presumably an overlay on the image of water/air bubbles finding its way under the “label” of the packaging.

Design #2: Source: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/7036943157617815/

Description: The isometric nature of this illustration normally implies a piece consisting of organized, largely geometric elements, but the large curves completely warping the orientation of the letters give it a playful aesthetic. Separating the letters of each word into two completely separate primary colours help distinguish between the elements of each word. The eye-catching block design of letters are further improved upon by the use of different shading techniques, with the blue text characterised by shading with lines and hashes, whereas the red text is shaded with a dotted screentone. The order of which the letters are read remain largely confusing when solely considering the main subject in the image, but is alleviated slightly by the presence of rather unnoticeable small text dispersed across the image.

Design #3: Source: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/540150549085753707/

Description: This illustration has a composition that is indicative of the atmosphere that it is trying to present - busy. Use of a perspective box helps give a sense of depth of the image, how far the “street” stretches. The fashion that the mist clouds in the foreground are drawn gives a subtle nod to the source material for the characters in the image (Naruto). The rule of thirds can be seen at play here as the horizon of the image, in this case the sunset, is present on one of the “major points” of the composition of the image. This helps settle an initial point of interest in the image amidst the visual clutter in the rest of the image. The pink/red lanterns also contrast from the dark portions of the image, giving some variation in an otherwise uniformly dark image.
