"Quoth the Raven, 'Nevermore'"

Found in CMYK Magazine. I loved how the business card was set up with the Raven looking bird on the front and the actual name of the company "Rogue Red".

"If you reveal your secrets to the wind, you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees." -Kahlil Gibran

Found in Communication Arts Magazine: Design Annual 52. This was an advertisement for a "secret" wine tasting party. When I first looked at the picture I thought it was just pictures that had been photoshopped, but when I looked closer I saw it was purely illustration and was amazed. I love this kind of detailed illustration and the wit behind the "come see the members" and the illustration combined.

"I always had a repulsive need to be something more than human." -David Bowie

Found in Hello! UK Graphics.  This image was done for David Bowie's album Heathen, I found it really interesting how they were playing with the type. At first glance I thought it was an alphabet page almost. Then I got more interested in it and started to read it.  Something else I enjoy about this design is the Heathen being upside down and backwards, it matches how the word heathen is portrayed in my opinion.

"An idea that is not dangerous is unworthy of being called an idea at all." -Oscar Wilde

Found int Art Directors Annual: 89th Addition. Just the way this was put together I thought was extremely witty and funny. It kind of reminds me of a game called Hitman. I liked how it was a play on how you're trying to take out the food to get rid of it. Needless to say I got a kick of how it seemed more like a murder/horror film than a typical dental floss advertisment.
