The Love of Candy



1. Describe what it is: A candy poster
2. Describe its function: To grab peoples attention and to get them to buy or eat candy.
3. Describe where you saw it: On the wall inside a school
4. Discuss the style of the design and typography: If I were to name a style I would say this design would be closest to American Kitsch. It has cartoon-style illustrations and lots of curves. The only text in the design is near the top "We heart Candy".  The text is not a focus and is in small font.
5. Discuss the quality of artwork: The design is very busy and can be overwhelming.  You have to take time to look at everything in the design. 
6. Discuss what attracted you to this piece: I liked the cartoon characters and the busy feeling.  I also like how many colors are used in the design and how all the colors seem to pop against the black background.
