Design #1:

Description: First off, the bubbly typography of the title and the illustration has caught my attention which gives a fun and expressive design. I’m also into these retro/vintage kind of designs, it’s pretty simple yet aesthetic and informative.

Design #2:

Description: The gradient colors are very vibrant but not too striking and it’s still pleasing to the eye. I really like how the typography fits into the middle of the pink heart with some outlines outside the heart border using a different color to differentiate the words along with other heart illustrations on the top and bottom to align with the middle heart for it to stand out.

Design #3:

Description: This poster design is pleasing to the eye when I first see it. It feels like a pleasant night sky view with these little stars/sparkles around. The illustrations are pretty eye-catching too especially the fishes and flowers that blends with the black background well.

 Feedbacks 

> Since it is just the first week of the class, there weren't many things to do like the technical process into the adobe software yet but we had a module briefing to at least let us have some expectations on what we are going to do so it was still quite informative.
