There's only two things i like about this type and thats the jumbled effect and layering. The problem is that there's just too much going on and the message isn't readable, also i don't really think that the type illustrates the message well.
This is a very clever image, the type faces and the swirls make this image look beautiful especially with the flowing lines and intricate design making it elegant. However when you read the message it makes it appear quite seedy and suddenly the type just looks as if its trying to seduce you.
This is a fun and childish piece, again this is simple with not too much going on but i think that really helps this image. I really like the cartoon style.
This is a good example of image and type, it helps illustrate the point well. Although the type is a little too crowded which can make the image a little cluttered and hard to break down and read.
I think the colours are strong here, it makes the image fun and interesting to look at. Also i like the way the piece looks textured it adds a different style to it.
This is an interesting image, it looks exactly like the world map. I really like it because it does work and the varying type height helps show the different countries and their sizes.
This is a smart image, using vectors to make the piece look 3D. Its clever because at a glance it reads one thing but then when you look at it closer it clearly reads another. I like this style a lot.
There are more clean cut lines in this piece yet it still gives a clear image of the faces which i find fascinating. Another thing that makes this piece effective is the fact its black and white it adds a certain clarity to the piece.
I like the overview of this image with the use of thick and blobby lines used to create the type face. Although on a whole it isn't readable and therefore not as strong as it could be.
The splash of colour with this piece helps make the message stand out. However you can still see the previous image which is interesting, its vandalism that works to spread a message.
This camera give an almost holographic feel because of the use of layering and colour making it slightly 3D. This also makes the image interesting and fun to look at.
I really love the reflection idea with this piece its very successful. Its another good example of silhouetting and its also a versatile piece as it would work upside down too. Its a different way of just drawing a skyline.
Again this is a simple image, what attracted me was the layering of the type which led to the image having a 3D effect especially with the use of colour. Its almost holographic.
This is a good example of restricted colour palette which helps show the form of the bike, its also a good example of how effective block colouring can be.
I just really like the simplicity of this image with the blobs of colour, i think its fun to look at. Its not overly complex which works well.
I like the way the words come out the mouth, its a good facial image to show screaming also the text goes well with the image to illustrate the screaming.
This is a good use of silhouetting and colour. This is a vibrant image, i love the contrast and it really makes it stand out.
I picked this image simply because it mimics the style used for gorillaz which i love. I really like this cartoon style with really effective block colouring. Simple but effective.
This is a fun image, it has a childish approach to it. It's simple and has a clean look too it which gives it another child like angle.
There is a good use of colour with this image, it has an intricate deign and its fun to look at.
This advert really blends type and image well together with a big splash of colour, its one of my favorite videos for these reasons. The images also really work well with whats being said.
I think this video is really clever, the whole piece works really well with the voice and the words being said by the shrink. I also like how when in certain angels you can see what has been said before and it goes quite far back.
I am looking at a type face here. I think this type face works really well, the individual letters are complicated but it also shows that it can be used in a sentence and still be readable. I like work that is intricate and interesting to look at an each letter is like that.
This image works well for publicizing the music festival that has a mixture of acts from across the world. The image is simple and speaks for itself which is what you want for a flyer.
I picked this image for its mixture of type and colour. Although it doesn't all make sense the page is readable and i like that they have only used the red colour twice because it is so bold and would detract from the other type.
This image is beautiful. I really like the mixture of thick and thin lines to help create the woman's face, you wouldn't know it was type that had created it and the use of an elegant type helps illustrate the woman even more.
This is another one of my favorite type images, although it is a little blurry and the words have been stretched a bit too much you can still see what's going on and its not over complicated with layering and colour which i think helps make it work.
This is one of my favorite uses of typography creating an image nout of words. this image is strong because of its use of colour and wording, they ahve used only a few words but it corresponds with the image and helps illustrate it even more. I think this piece would work just as well without the colour.
This is a good example of layering and type, it doesn't matter which one you read first but both work well together. It also shows not everything has to be clear for you to understand it. With one use of colour does help you read it easily but it doesn't stand out s much that thats all you see.
I really like typography images that use words to create and image i think its clever. Also what's good about this image is that the words correspond to the gun emphasizing the image. They have picked good words to stand out eg. 'Evil', 'hateful', 'heart' this adds another level to the piece by drawing your attention to it more.
This is a good blend of photography and typography, it visually communicates what the piece is about well and the fact that it doesn't have any colour added to it helps make the image look more clean and crisp.
This is another clever use of typography, you have to look close to see the people kissing. At a glance it does just look like a cloud but when you look closer there is a lot more detail. I like the fact there is no colour too, the piece doesn't need any and wouldn't add anything to it if you did add colour.
I think these are really clever pieces, i think its interesting how you have to look at them closer to get the full message, its the whole 'don't judge a book by it cover'.
This is an album cover i found, that people were experimenting with. I like the way Jimmi's head seems to just form from the shapes. The use of a restricted colour palette helps the image to not be too complicated as there is a lot going on with the shapes anyway.
I think the mixture of type used in the image below is strong, they have a mixture of contrasting types but as a whole the image works, especially with the images of small birds and people to help illustrate.
This work is beautiful, the colours compliment the shapes and they also help add emotion to the picture. I think the intricate way of layering really helps add shape to the pictures.
I think this work is amazing, the intricacy with each piece is fascinating. There is s much going on and you have to take it stage by stage to get everything in. You can tell the artist also took a very long time and a lot of effort went into creating this piece.
I love this typographic image, i think it works so well, the whole idea of washing letters off your hand is brilliant and having the writing on it for you to read. Also changing it to a simple black and white means you just focus on the hand and writing.
I think this design, although a little hectic, really works well. The way the images overlap one another but are simple enough to stand out works well for this board. The vibrant colour also help small parts stand out and grab your attention which i think i great. The little details, eg the writing, make you look closer and so you get to enjoy the whole pattern.
Personally i do not like the general board colours i think they are too bland and on the snow you always want something that will stick out. However i really do like the intricate patterns, with the clean crisp lines and a bland background does help the illustrations stand out.
Snowboard design has always been something i have been interested in. I regularly keep up to date with latest designs etc because generally the designs work with what is popular now. Below i love the use of the pattern and colours, each complimenting one another well.
I think that that this works really works well, it shows really good exampes of manipulation of type and i find it really interesting how they have only used one word 'IT' and can show all the lyrics. I think its a really clever example of typography animation.
I think this video works really well the type faces are mixed but work with the lyrics and gives a good visual image. I think one of the strongest bits is the first 'hey ya' when the type jumps to the beat. Everything works in time with the music and theres a strong continuity with the type and sound.
This image appeals to me purely because of the layering although the letter is completely illegible (although slightly makes a letter 'E' in my opinion?) the use of colour is strong and although there is a lot of different tones they have used a restricted colour palette which i think helps the letter form, as well as being on a black background.
I just stumbled across this image and i like it because of its use of helvetica, it just shows how versatile the type really is, even on a pumpkin it looks smooth, crisp and professional. This image made me laugh and i thought it was really clever and will almost certainly be trying it myself.
Here i am looking at typography. I was searching through types looking for a 'friendly' type and this is what i found. I like it because of everything it says, the type does have the appeal of 'warm' and 'friendly'. I find it strange how well type can come across as an image sometimes and this type face, for me, is one of the best.
Richard Talbot - "I use drawing as a way of thinking and a way of bringing together apparently disparate ideas and images". Although i am not brilliant technical drawing i really admire people who can draw like that. You can see the time and effort that went into the designs even if they are just sketches. Richard's work is complicated and interesting to look at, there are a lot of different layers working together and thats what appeals to me.
