0Source: http://a-mar-illo.deviantart.com/art/GLAMOUR-188213295 This wine label seems very consistent in its style. The way the woman is rendered seems to adhere to the title and the whole idea of the label (the “glamorous” feel). The fonts are appropriate and work with the piece. The colours are great and contrast well with the background.
0Source: http://Reawake.deviantart.com/art/Fresh-Fanta-121641253I think this advertisement for Fanta is great because it reinforces the idea that the product is made of natural products. The colours are vivid which would make the product more appealing to consumers. It it clear what message they are trying to convey, and overall I think it is an effective piece.
0Source: http://chibighibli.deviantart.com/art/Emerald-and-the-Dead-Fishermen-130341942  I really like the style of this poster as it is simple but very appealing. The composition is great, and I think putting the text below the illustration was a great decision. I like the colours of the piece as well.
0Source: http://h4nd.deviantart.com/art/Climate-is-Changing-85799655 I think this is a very cute and clever way of spreading awareness of climate change. We see a polar bear painting another polar bear to look like a panda, as it is becoming too warm to live in their own climate. I think the simple style is effective and that the message is clear. The font also matches the style very well.
0Source: http://MirrorCradle.deviantart.com/art/Zombie-Walk-176636382 This poster for the Zombie Walk is wonderful. Though one would expect it to be very dark, it is rather light, however it is still creepy as the character is rendered in a very scary way. I like that it almost looks like a portrait, and that there are organs hanging from it which reinforces the idea of the Zombie Walk. The typography suits the subject well, as it is quite halloween-like.
0Source: http://lostsoulx44.deviantart.com/art/bring-peace-to-midnight-101507229 I love the colours used to illustrate this owl, as well as how his shadow is rendered. The detail is very great, and it is overall appealing to look at.
0Source: http://jasonedmiston.deviantart.com/art/Dr-Jekyll-and-Mr-Hyde-206197117 I think this cover definitely captures the essence of this story. It is creepy and dark, and also ties in well with the typography. I like the way the characters are rendered, and the limited colour palette. The dark shadows against the otherwise light colours is also very effective.
0Source: http://hexthor.deviantart.com/art/A-Hysterical-Mind-206469865 The shapes in this piece are wonderful, and the idea of the gun, cigarette, hand, and bloody knife coming out of the hair is really interesting and ties in with the text (A Hysterical Mind) well. I think the typography fits in well with subject, and the colours are unusual but appealing.
0Source: http://folderol.deviantart.com/art/La-Boheme-215991631 The idea of this piece is great. I like that the eiffel tower is made up of matches, and the shape of the smoke coming from the matches really adds to the piece. 
0Source: http://jmirman.deviantart.com/art/Look-In-The-Mirror-Boy-215682853 I’m a big fan of Harry Potter so this piece is very appealing to me. I like that I’m able to see Harry rendered in a different way, and that the reflection of Harry in the mirror is made up of text (quotes from the books). This is very effective, and relates back to the subject exceptionally well. The use of negative space to make up Harry’s figure is wonderful and adds to the dark air of the story.
