Week 8 (Bad)
8
For this week’s I chose a label from a firework that we bought for tomorrows 4th of July celebration as we are not going out to a public display and chancing big crowds of people not taking measures to protect others or themselves. In particular the reason I am labeling this as a bad is not for an issue with the type of font nor spacing or shape but ith the color choices of the brand/type of firework name “Algiers” and the design they used to fill the characters with is unappealing to my eye and if it was not for the number of fireworks that it sets off I would not have likely chosen it as it did not stand out or have that much contrast with the background imagery of it’s label/ packaging. I will note that the warning label is pretty standard throughout most of the fireworks from Shelton Fireworks indicating that it is likely a government standard requirement for use (similar to nutritional information requirements) or at least a business standard to cover liability of people who use them unwisely. I will admit there is a heirarchy of text on this label with information clearly displayed but the em spacing is poor in the name of the firework with letters blending into each other.
