voice observation/cool building art

I found this great image of building art on AIGA's website this morning. very nice.

Craft observation

These cups are super detailed miniature pieces of art. I can only imagine how long it must have taken to finish this after constructing my own box and designing it. This was one of my favorites but they are all amazing. here is a link to view more. Good job not smudging any ink.

type

 

These are great examples of using type creatively. The designer or artist leverages figure/ground very well and creates  very interesting/attention holding images. 

Grid Observation

I found this grid while google-ing. At first I didn't think of it as happiness (my chosen emotion) but then after looking at if for a while I got the feeling that the orange square is happy, and all the other squares are there to add contrast and magnify that one orange square.

Grid Observation

These two pieces use grid but also break the grid. In the top image, the addition of circles breaks up the square modular feel and adds a bit more complexity to the shapes. The bottom image is almost as though it wants to be a grid but keeps getting twisted and warped.
