Video on Paul rand

Paul Rand- The first thought I had when watching this was that I really liked the motion graphics at the beginning and how the lines moved and seemed like the were growing and connecting to the other lines to reveal the words.The book thoughts on design was impressive because it is good design but its really simple. It just uses two shapes and overlapping. It is very modern for something that was created in 1948. Direction for art and industry cover I didn't like I don't think that the chimney read very well but i like the color pallet. Direction for Czechoslovakia I think is clever cause he uses the line to cut off the part of Czechoslovakia that was being annex. I didn't really like the Law cover because the bust of mosses was caught of at the top. I like the cover of leave cancelled because from the title/cover it doesn't really tell you a lot about the book but the bright pink really pops. The bullet wholes are also interesting because they are not normally associated with love. I'm not really a big fan of rans drawings and collage covers, but I think the leave me alone cover was interesting because of the way the title was treated. The fervent years was really nicely designed because it used so much of the negative space and it did it in a bold and effective way. The American essay cover was interesting to me because it has to do with shadows and I'm working a lot with shadows for my book cover. Painting and reality was a good cover because it doesn't necessarily look like a fine artist did it but its effective and readable. the good Devil was interesting because it used strong symbols that really represent what the devil and lord were and it pushes the boundary of showing vs. telling.I like the DaDa cover because I like type and all the different ways you can play with it and but it in weird places and positions.Captive mind was good because its something that is so weird it was good and the adds to the cover. The black and white also really make the repetitiveness purple eyes pop more and create a creepy feel.
