Record sleeve - I like. I like the follow through, the novel vinyl colour, the purely abstract nature of what are essentially 'constructivist' shapes. The contrast between the recangular forms and the fluid cascading shape they make on the cover. It has personality and it conveys a sense of something. Its okay with me.
Wooden end blocks page - I like it. It looks tactile and rich and suggests antiquity and vintage which to me is accentuated by the 'yellowed' paper.
Viva Poster - don't like it. Its cheap and computery and doesn't convey any elegance or consideration in its composition.
Luomo Convivial - I quite like it because it suggests animated information signage and it suggests layers of meaning. I like the colour palette and the evidence of process in the overprint areas.
Jumble of circles and squares - I don't like it. Its not communicating anything to me and I don't like the colour combinations.
Die Welt - I like this because I respect it as a piece of well tempered classic 20th century typographic layout. Refined and restrained.
Picture of Horpverine - I don't like it. Its wrong.
The Tschichold book - it conveys nothing to me and could easily be a phone book designed by somebody of no redeeming features.
Ravensbourne booklet - I like it. It feels pure and intriguing in its use of broken messages and the interesting folded paper cover makes me want to explore it.
Future invite - Its okay, but I don't understand it. Visually it engages closer insepction which is not a bad thing, but it doesn't reveal any greater purpose so it feels a bit indulgent.
noamgriegst - it feels a bit too cramped to me and it jarrs and jumps a bit in that typeface.
SARD - Is refined, tactile, classic feeling, interesting in its processes, bold in its execution. I like it.
Having said all that though - I personally am unable to evaluate the design work just by looking at a picture of it, so I am grading the pictures you show, not the contents within. How can I tell if I like the record sleeve if I don't know what its trying to represent?
Those are my answers.
