INSPIRINGTYPOGRAPHY + THOUGHTS

Parker Peterson

As a big Helvetica buff, I love this. The staggering type and the depth that it shows is just impressive.

-Parker Peterson

Love the 3D effect. Not only does it provide a fresh look of the old standard but the entire effect relies on shadows. Simple clean design. -Brian Hanson

So, a question to ponder, was this piece created for Helvetica specifically, or was Helvetica the easy way out when attempting

to find a typeface to go with the design in mind?-Rosie Streit

I feel that someone who utilizes typography, design, or art to simply praise itis missing the point. - Jon Lacina

“Helvetica” by wobbl3r of deviantART

I really enjoy the way the type is composed with all the different shapes and colors. The text at the bottom helps extend the

composition throughout the whole page -Parker Peterson

The dark background really makes the type pop. There is a great contrast between the confetti type and Helvetica set below it. -Brian Hanson

I love the message, but don’t know if the confetti design is appropriate.-Rosie Streit

The text communicates a basic idea of future well enough, but the graphics are hardly relatable. - Jon Lacina

“Future” by Pablo Alfieri of Behance

I love this type piece because it counters the standard. It’s got a different feel to it. The color within the text is very vibrant and I am a huge fan of the letterforms. -Parker Peterson

I love the illustrated treatment. The aesthetic is almost a rejection of the standard fonts we all have on our computers. Although it was likely

completed digitally it has a distinct hand drawn quality that sets it apart. -Brian Hanson

Pretty, but confusing. There are a lot of seemingly random elements to it. I suppose in that way, it draws in the viewer and forces them to stare at it until they’ve figured out what it’s trying to say. -Rosie Streitt

The text communicates a basic idea of future well enough, but the graphics are hardly relatable.

“Colourful” by ICDP of Evoke One

The text is illustrated in a very creative way. Very inspiring illustration. -Parker Peterson

Anthropomorphized text. Enough said

-Brian Hanson

Does it say ‘evoke one’??? I don’t get it at all.. sorry! Neat illustration though -Rosie Streitt

I’ve been using the internet long enough to know that some things cannot be

unseen.-Jon Lacina

“diorama spectrum” by vezeta of Evoke One

I really enjoy the concept of this particular type. It’s very creative.

-Parker Peterson

A twist on a convention we are all familiar with. The magnifying glass is a great touch. -Brian Hanson

Simple, but effective. Nice use of the swiss black/white/red and a modern twist with the magnifying glass.

“typography” by ygt-design of deviantART

I love the displacement of text. I think it’s brilliantly done.. -Parker Peterson

Genius. One of those designs that makes you kick yourself. Very well done. Nearly every country is readable despite the many different shapes and sizes around the globe. -Brian Hanson

This one is one of my favorites - it’s a fresh way to view the world map - comparing the size of each country. Inspires one to

look at things in a new way.-Rosie Streit

The diversity of the world has been crushed under a sepia toned typographicmonarchy! Okay, I kinda like it, but no love for Alaska? -Jon Lacina

“typographic world map” by vladstudio of deviantART

The composition of this really pulled me in. The way everything is laid out is beautiful. Great use of space.

-Parker Peterson

I love the deconstruction. This has a very experimental quality that makes you want to create, to tear apart, to try something new.

-Brian Hanson

It’s very effective, yet simple. I love the use of larger type as visual markers. The true calling for typography!

-Rosie Streit

The arrangement of the text doesn’t reflect anything from its contentaside from its use of letters. - Jon Lacina
