I haven’t posted for a while. I stumbled across this great bit of 3D typography today and thought I would share.
The web without words. Following on from my previous post. Check out this website and see some of the most popular sites on the net redesigned without words.
A blank typography. A fantastic set of easily recogonisable film posters, without any ‘proper type’ on it. A great example of how abstract shapes and images can be used to describe the film, without using the actual words. Can the use of images and shapes in this way be described as typography? Typography doesn’t have to be words.
EDIT: See more from the set here.
This also relates to my previous post. I cannot believe I haven’t posted this before. It’s pretty old now but I thought I would post it anyway. I’m sure many of you have seen Pentagram’s ‘What type are you?’ before. It’s basically a little flash applet which tells you what typeface you are based on your answers to four personality type-questions.
My type is Courier. What’s yours?
This short video is hilarious. I found it whilst doing research for my type essay, investigating relationships between typography and human personality/preference. This video, although not directly relevant (i’m more interested in the visual arrangement of letters rather than typeface design), in a weird way is probably the most useful thing I have stumbled across. Well, maybe it isn’t, but make sure you give it a watch anyway!
