Typography images

When people think of typography they just thinks of fonts, straight lines and words but there is much more to type. Words and letters can be twisted and made up of different sizes and shapes to create graphic portraits (and other images) much like a project i had done before were i had to create the jack and jill story through fonts and the different sizes of text!! here the images seem to be done possibly in illustrator they are very much complete and interesting pieces work.






The "J" is a strong feature showing the jaw line and the "G" stands clearly as the ear the main features are easily recognizable

Design Flavr

This website offers a display of unique designs from various people and a wide range of art to look at it is one of my favorite sites to look at digital art from CG art, Advertising compositions, Abstract design, Vector art etc... here i am showing just a sample of the typography section available on show what i like in these images is that the type is manipulated to a degree but is still easily identified as type and word... check the site out you will find many interesting images there...check the links box to access it.

3D Chalk Drawings ( JULIAN BEEVER )

Julian Beever is an English, Belgium-based chalk artist who has been creating chalk drawings on pavement surfaces since the mid-1990s. His works are created using a projection called anamorphosis, and create the illusion of three dimensions when viewed from the correct angle. Here this video from youtube shows pictures of his work in which i find fascinating.



Photography ( Isolation )

Recently for a photography class we got into groups and were to take four pictures of chairs any shape if size as long as it was a chair or chairs, we agreed on a theme for these pictures and that was Isolation. The photo here was taken by myself using my camera... upon looking at it i thought of the idea of isolation and the samaritans came to mind so just out of the blue i made this image!!

My Book covers

On the book cover project i was given a choice of three well known books The Medium is the massage,Brave new world and The Secret History upon looking into these i decided to go with the first two! i felt they offered more variety and space to work with designs and ideas these are my final outcomes...This project was one of my favorite throughout the term as i felt it really helped my ability and attitude to design that much more (Im still learning ;)


The smily face image is one of my all time favorite "icons" and i couldn't pass the opportunity to include it somewhere the book itself is "An inventory of effects" and one of the original book covers had an image of a stretched face so i capitalized on that idea (if it aint broke dont fix it)
And added a little bit of humor to it!! (The smily face is one of my fridge magnets).


The two covers here are the same only the color has changed i liked the idea and effect of someone having to stare at the cover and really zoom in on the text to read it!! the back of the cover is like a mirror image of the front (My influence here was a well known album cover of my favorite band...take a guess???)




Drugs is the idea in this cover ...Drugs offer a new dimesion and allows the mind and body to achieve things that would not necessarily occur naturally (The pills are Creatine)

Here the idea was influenced by an image of binary (Binary is the "language" or "Code" if you will of computers ...Matrix anyone?) so the cover i created here is a Brave new world through the access of digital media or the internet even! a world that holds alot of good but also alot of evil...
