Typography anyone ....

Imagine this ... just got into Leeds College of Art and Design, so chilling out during summer!
Suddenly a letter arrives, in it ... instructions for summer work ... NOOOOO! 
But I did what I was instructed too so its all good!  So here are some samples of Typography I found which are absolutely awesome!  Enjoy ...



















LEF - Coriette Schoenarrts  
Ok ... so while browsing several hundred (sorta) Graphic Design sites, I came across one called 'ffffound'
This was one of my favorite pieces that i came across!  I love really haggard and messy work, it really make me look deeper into the work ... and this is perfect!
I have never seen this technique before, however it does remind me of the Channel 4 adverts ... anyway, great technique and awesomely shot photograph!



















IMPROVISATION - ffffound
Once again while on ffffound.com I came across this piece!
If you look closely at the type it is made up of photos from buildings which are then cut to make the shape of the letter.  Good technique and visually very interesting!















GOOD THINGS - Manystuff.org
Going back to what i wrote in my first ever bloooog, this is another phrase that I believe in.  If you frown or seem upset a lot of the time, do you really think people are going to want to speak to you?  I will answer (its my blog) NO THEY WONT!  If you smile, then good things shall arise!
The other reason for this piece getting into my blog is for its technique of type ... letters getting cut out of solid color is a common technique but the box at the bottom is not!  Leaving and open space, and hand writing 'Smile' gives me a warm feeling and does make me smile ... kinda girly but oh well!
