I choose his images for the last journal entry as well. I just really enjoy the way he plays with layout and color. He uses common colors or patterns to make a consistent feel, but at the same time each spread is so different. This keeps the viewers attention, while still creating a cohesive piece.
Additionally I like the collage feel, with lots of bright colors. That's the kind of style I like to look at and hopefully duplicate in my own manner.

I chose to show a few of his images, simply because I did NOT like them. While I found his logos intriguing, a few of his spread layouts were lacking good design concept.
This one has random lines that don't appear to have any purpose and the image on top of another image appears awkward and clustered.
I just am not fond of the font used for data, and it through the whole image off for me.
Kurt Wirth
For these images, I found the illustration intriguing.
These show movement and use color to grab the viewers attention.
These two have a child like feel. They both incorporate the use of texture to make the image more visually appealing.
For both of these sets Kurt does a good job at pairing them together. They look like a set, but I'm not entirely sure if they are or not.
Dick Bruna
Continuing the idea of sets, I feel like Dick's images work really well together.
He has the plain brightly colored background with a contrasting black animal. I wish I could actually read these, so I could understand them better, but as far as visually I find them interesting to look at. (Hierarchy seems a little bit off though)
Noel Martin
His icons are very simply, but still conceptual. That is the essence of creating a good logo, and he does a fantastic job.
Bob Norda
These posters do a good job at creating user interaction, specifically in the eye image. If you squint the image becomes clear. It plays with the viewer seeing an eye by squinting there eye.
