Design I Like

The kind of design I like is probably what most professionals would call a mess. I like to see a lot of color, a lot of graphic, a lot of everything! However I also find beauty in the simplistic designs as well that only have a little bit of graphic a little bit of color and a little bit of text. I like loud colors but soft ones as well. I am a very open person however one thing I do not like when it comes to design is cliche. I like images that are balanced but my eyes tend to enjoy the unbalanced design more. Focusing on typography I think less is definitely more. I think they simplistic fonts are the most beautiful and the less letters there are the better! I am most certainly a Helvetica fan! I think a white sheet of paper with a big bold A on it is beautiful! The designs I like more often convey messages of self expression and human activism. Its like music, the best songs are the most simple ones and those always sound the most extravagent. Although I do like the designs that are crazy and wild I do feel like there is a point where there is too much and in which case the image just begins to look like a lot of nothing. So basically what works for me is a simple yet crazy design that screams at its audience in a vivid and clear manner. Make sense? What Im trying to say is that I like designs that are urban and funky. Here are some examples of what Im trying to say:
