Graphic Design needs to have a combination of creativity along with appeal in order for it to be successful to me. In this flier done by one of my fraternity brothers, he uses an images and builds around the young women. I find it to be very appealing because he uses a concept from a movie (Sin City) and combines it with the colors of the fraternity (Crimson and Creme). He also ads a few circular figures to the image in a spray life fashion. The title of the party combined with the image helps with the visual appeal of the art. There is a lot going on in the background of the photo, but not enough to distract people from the most important things (name, location etc).
Good analysis, and a fun example of borrowed design inspiration! In music they call it sampling; in art we call this "appropriation."
