typography

i like this design alot as the itergration of images and the type works so well and is so well put to together and the images aproppriate fit with the letter forms, out of all the work i have seen this is the first type design that i think i coluld work well with and it would hopefully help develope my skills of using type and image but in a very unique manor.

it took me a few seaconds to get a first but when i did get it i thought it was wikid and i keep saying it but i really want to try and play with type and explore how it can be used and how the cntext of the type can be deliverd. i think i will try as this has and use frazes and make the design appropriate to them.




i like this piece of typography as it doesn't stick to standard bock colours which a do use quite frequently, the image combines and merges colour together well as they are not extremes of each other it's a gradulle interchange also the background isn't just black it has been eited as if it was in space. also the elongated and adjusted letters link the words together which brakes out of the standard typefaces.
i like this design however i feel i want to concentrate on type design being led by the context of the work and not by aesthetics. aesthetics will be develped and used if in appropriate ways.



i saw this work and liked it becasue it was fun energetic and really eye catching i like that the word doesn't instantly become clear but when looked at for a few extra seaconds you get it. i personaly think this style is appropriate to it's context which is t-shirts, i would probably like to buy it but i don't feel it's something i would use for other design based work as i feel it isn't simple enough.

this kind of design i would really like to learn and find out about in the future as it can be a great way of produing type when the style is appropritate to the context as within this piece.

i really think michael place's work is really nice as it is so simplistic but at the same time quite structured and complex as the layout is worked out very well and differently to other pieces in the set, i have found as i am progressing i'am using helvetica alot more frequently within my work which can't be a bad thing however i should try work with other typefaces as i may find one that is more appropriate to the context.



i picked out this design as the type has been influeced by the product itself but has been put across with great simplicity and hasn't been over used within the design. the  colour palette works well as the background/stock colour isn't too bright and allows the white to show up.



i feel this is a very well crafted piece and i like the fact the type has been designed so that the message has been demonstrated throught the posters layout. i defernatly would like to look into this kind of method, i will hopefully try work on this kind of work in my free time over the summer.

with this piece of typeogrpahy i love the hand drawn aspect to the piece i think the two colours work well in contrast and give the piece some integrity, making people want to look at it. although i like the design i feel that it's not something i would choose to use within my designs however i would consider producing something like this if it where deemed to be appropriate to the context.


this type is so funky i love the 3d style to it and the colours work really well the design isn't to in your face. i like this type style as the hiarachi of the text is both intersting but displays the information clearly but at the same time creates and image when brought together with the flower like illustrations. the colours used are again not solid they are blended to create the impretion of a light source which improves the aesthetic of the design but emphasises the fact that the type is 3d.


i really like the vast amounts of colour and range of type used in this pice as it is striking and creates a optical pull and it makes you want to read the piece and the type within it.



http://brain.marconi.nu/ this site has some really wikid illustration and type work done in a kind of repetive collage way which srands out really well and are very effective

i found this mexican based design company online and i think a few pieces of there typeography is really cool, especialy the bright bold typefaces like the "bicolor" work.

I really found that the typeographical design within this poster is wikid the simple use of filled lettering, also i think a strong factor in the success of this piece is the colour choices as they make the information clear and concise and ultimatly attractive.
