Best Typography by me


I have done a lot of typography this semester. Some of my projects were ok, ans some were more on the better side. I think this project of a museum logo was one of my best. I love how the "ball" of text is being handed to the horse. This was done to show the great human to horse relationship and how important horses are in many peoples lives. I think that it also represnts the Inernational Museum of the horse well because almost all of a horses history has been involved with humans.

Typography found in Sharadin



This post is late beacause my camera decided to have issues. But anyway, typography is all of the art building. Every CD major has to take typography classes. I found tgis example of good typography right outside the CD lab ona poster in Sharadin on Wensday around 1 pm. I love this poster. The poster was a povery poster. I love how it uses "I in every 6 people cant read the word povery" and then shows the word which is still legiable, but hard to read. I like how the accual look of the type is part of the poster. Without this element, I think that the message would be not as strong.

Typography on a food wrapper

Typography is all over advertising to catch the potential buyers interest. This coffee cup holder I found at my work, Sheetz in Whitehall on November 24th around 8am. I really enjoy the design of the type being extended to the end of the holder. The lines create a neat abstract design with the christmas colors. I also like that the type alternates color. If I were to do this myself I would have maybe tried to find a typeface that looks and feel more christmas like.

Type as art

All typography is art. This example is from a christmas card I found in a pile of stuff on my desk in Laurys Station, December 3rd, around 12pm. I love how the type is made out of a red wite and blue ribbon. I like how it gives the type a 3-D feel. The continuation of the "G" and the "s" really move your eye around the design and adds interest. I also love the color pallet used.
