M

 

I saw this at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington D.C., and was fascinated by the creativity of this design.  

This piece is called By Any Means Necessary (after Malcom X). 

I thought it was really creative the way the strokes on the M were elongated to produce an X; therefore, making it into a sort of logo. 

This just shows how by playing with letters, whether it be on the computer or through sketching, it can lead to a creative concept.

Typography Brought To Life

The moment I saw this I knew I had to share it. Whoever came up with this has an impressive creative brain.

These are wonderful examples of how the placement of a letter within a word can bring the word to life. 

Although they are rather simple in design, these "logos" express so much. 

Next time when I have to design something, I'll keep in mind that a word can become a picture with meaning.  

Upside Down Typography?

The position of typography can make a big difference when trying to express a message.

In this case, the message "My World Without Coffee" is place upside down on a coffee mug. This message indicates that this person's world would be upside down if coffee was to not exist. (I have to say that I fully agree on this statement as well.)

One should always be aware to the placement of typography as it can enhance or change the point one is trying to get across.

D for Destroy



A letter can represent a whole idea.

In this case the letter D is falling apart, so we can easily understand that the D stands for destory.

This is part of the Amplifying The Typography Experience in which letters were seperated into different themes, D being "Structural Form".

Because all of the letters were given very interesting representations, I am including the link: http://www.behance.net/gallery/Amplifying-The-Typography-Experience-P/4100613
