Type: Toilet


Someone must of been bored
+Good idea to relate word to process of delivery
-Think they should of consider the layout of the photograph at the beginning, feel it looks a bit clumsy at the end how the effort had gone into making the type but the final resolution from the camera seems clumsy.

Think this is pretty interesting to look up at Fonts
+Could spend a while looking at every typeface but at the present moment I have got time 
*Look again when have more spare time*


Type: Portraits-Steve Butabi

this is something I've always wanted to try out using type to fit almost like skin graph.
-However I'm glad I've seen the outcome to get a rough idea how it would turn out and I'm not to keen on the idea. Think I've saved some time by finding these images.


Type: Wave


Image from www.graphic-design-blog.com
Not sure who by?
+Like the way the water is used to represent the wave
-Not sure how this would of been made, will have to ask somebody for future reference
? Not to sure about the person holding it up seems alot of people are using this as a photo shoot at the minute.  


Image & Type: Vladstudio

+Bold type used and colours
-Hard to read for smaller countries.
Interesting however to look at
+Looks like type has been torn to the shape of the countries.


Image & Type: Helvetica

Found this on the internet but not sure who it was by, but really like the idea of Helvetica representing Hollywood. Looks well put together. Really Effective. 
Not sure why is it meant to represent Hollywood maybe thats where the gallery is? If I find out I will explain...

Type & Image: Hubba Bubba


Hubba Bubba billboard
+The use of the billboard as the product that is being sold is hanging off the billboard.
Chewing gum advert.

Really getting into hand drawn type, think this image gives it that raw look when the biro is used to fill in areas but leaves the biros mark on the paper. Hand drawn is something unique I feel that cannot be repeated exactly the same.

+Like the way the symbol is used to represent the word
+Like the bright colours used in the motivation image as the are vibrant and exciting and fun, makes you want to work.

Stealth Flyers
Like the use of image and type similar layout used in each one but using a different subject. For Stealth nightclub in Nottingham my favourite being the google map flyer.


Image: Flychelangelo

Artist using dead flies to represent people as stick men 
I find this interesting and quite humorous


Image & Type: Barred in Birmingham 1904






Taken from Sky pictures thought they were pretty interesting to look at as a collection and interesting to read and compare to the technology used these days.


Image: Antony Gormley


Antony Gormley has placed 31 figures of himself cast in iron and fibre around roof top ledges in New York and the local police have had to respond to ten calls fearing someone was about to jump to commit suicide. I like this image just because of the story behind it.

This style of illustration of the image and type isn't my cup of tea. Not really a big fan of the kind of illustration especially used on the monsters face. I prefer more bold and harsher colours than these calm contents used here.
*However I like the way the type is layered in front of each other

Reminds me of surf/skate style of illustration with the use of so many hands developing from each other. Also this could of probably made a nice lino-cut print with the different weights of details in the image.
Maybe look into the facilities to produce lino-cuts at college?

Like the idea of creating own typography shapes but also is quiet hard to make out what it says. 
All it is replacing the skeleton of a typeface with common simple shapes.

This piece appeals to me because I can appreciate the time gone into making the hand made scene and typography, and because its hand made it has more character than if the same image was produced on a Computer.

Like the sharp illustration- almost one off lines- also flat colour with bold outlines.

Sound Systems on Bikes 
Think they look good as images - interesting to look at and shows someone elses culture/ lifestyle how they live compared to people in England.


Type: Seventh Letter


Seventh letter:
Like the Hand drawn approach towards type and using thick markers rather than biros and fine pens that are often used in graphics just because we use them all the time. 
*Start to experiment with same media but different types of equipment to see what results look like.


Type & Image: UP


UP Magazine.
The logo really looks simple and bold but works really well with the lightning strike through it.

Type: Alphabet by Dems

Don't know what to think of this, I like the idea but it isn't eligible. It would be OK if you had alot of time to look at it as on an aeroplane where you have to read something to keep yourself from being bored, but it could never work as advertising. I think its interesting how different people draw different type tho.


Image: Dems/ Sozy


Seen So much of this Triangle and eye recently never really understood what it was ment so I have looked the definition up on Wikipedia quickly and this is what appeared;
Illuminati (plural of Latin illuminatus, "enlightened") is a name that refers to several groups, both historical and modern, and both real and fictitious. Historically, it refers specifically to the Bavarian Illuminati, an Enlightenment-era secret society founded on May 1, 1776. In modern times it is also used to refer to a purported conspiratorial organization which acts as a shadowy "power behind the throne", allegedly controlling world affairs through present day governments and corporations, usually as a modern incarnation or continuation of the Bavarian Illuminati. In this context, Illuminati is often used in reference to a New World Order (NWO). Many conspiracy theorists believe the Illuminati are the masterminds behind events that will lead to the establishment of such a New World Order.

The above image is done by Dems/Sozy a collaboration. 
Like the colours used reminds me of winter nights.

Think its some nice design work that you don't usually see often, I like 
how every detail counts as the points on the end of each spike has its 
own small logo. Looks really interesting to look at as a photograph.

Type & Image: Scientology


A photograph that I found. This Filter & desaturation makes the image look scary/ haunted because of the light on the Gothic type and cross above it. Really like the way the filter relates the type and photograph.

Think the black and white illustration works well bercause of the different thickness of lines.
The actually illustration style looks like he draws alot in this style because of the creative random lines, looks like its just gone straight onto paper rather than pencil first.

One Image & One Type: Greg Lamarche

Don't really like the type above it looks like its meant to be almost a collage letter/ death letter, but as its been done digital it loses that traditional look and I don't like the style to much.
Triangles with patterns in are something Ive started to see alot of recently. I think the image has alot of imagery because of the size, colours and patterns of the triangles.

I really like the idea of the note being held up to the light as you would usually do to check its really but instead you read the word WASTE. I also find it quite interesting how its in a bag that says £20 on it.



Image: David Choe




David Choe
Born 1976 in America
Currently Homeless artist travelling the world
Dropped out of art school but is asked to do lectures at colleges.
Quite like the hand made characters from boxes looks interesting to look at but really like the illustration of the stereos, which represents the robotic approach that David Choe takes.
