7 UP!

One day, I was at Parkland and I was so thirsty, but I didn't feel like to drink water at that time.

I went to the soda machine and wanted to buy a drink.

I was standing in front of the soda machine and thinking about which one to buy,

then I saw 7 UP and saw the picture on the bottle.

I like the curve in the picture,

the curve and the lemons together looks fresh.

It make me feel like the drink is fresh too, 

so I brought the 7 UP.

After I brought it, I drank it and felt fresh ;)

Evening Sky

One day in the evening,

I was outside and saw the evening sky.
I like the color and I like how all the clouds aligned, so I used my iPod to take a picture.

Book cover

I bought this book from the library's book sale.

The reason that I bought it is not because of the story. I didn't know what the book is about. I bought it just because I like its cover.
The picture on the cover looks relaxing quite, and peaceful.

I also like how the title looks like. It match the feel of the picture.

Big Bang CD Cover

Image from http://spsoundart.blogspot.com/2011/12/15-big-bang-to-love.html

This is a CD cover of a Korean group called Big Bang.

 I am not huge fan of Big Bang, but when I was thinking about graphic design that I saw, this CD cover jumped out from my mind.

 I think I only saw this picture a few time last year on facebook, but it gave me a deep impression.

My first thought when I saw it was "Oh! It's cool!" 

Then I realized that it's Big Bang's CD cover. 

This cover is a little playful. 

I google their CD covers in the past and this cover is a different style cover.

I think if all the CD covers put together, this cover will stand out and my eyes will first catch this cover.

 Maybe the reason is the contrast between the black background and the white figure. 

Also the figure has a shining feeling.
