I like how the text moves about the screen. I also like the background and how the background changes at the end as if there was a 'bang'.

I like how the font has been used to create different images to help communication what the words are actually trying to say. I also like how the different fonts have been used to keep in theme with what is being said in the video for example the chinese style writing.

I like how this animation starts out really plain then gets really busy with the use of lots of typography, I think it communicates the quote very well.

I like this one as I like how the text enters and exits the screen in a variety of ways, I also like the way the text is layed out on the screen throughout the animation.

I like the font used in this one as it looks like it has been hand drawn. I like how the text is layed out on the screen and how every sound in the movie has text to go with it, I think it is a very amusing video.

I like the font used and how it enters and exits the screen. I also like the effects created by the words for example when the words blue turns into a splodge of ink then into an M and so on. I also like the layout of the text and how some words are used to make up other words.

I like how the text has been layed out, its as if it is a map to what is being talked about in the video. I also like how the font moves about the screen to help communicate what is going on in the video.

I like the variety of font used in this animation and how the text is layed out. I like how some of the words get re-used over and over again. I also like the fact it is very colourful.

I like the font used in this animation and how it has been layed out and moved about on screen. I also like how the music notes have been used at the end and how they change with the music.

Wearing type...

2010-03-16T03:54:00.001-07:00

For the wearing type brief I have decided to make an earring. So I done some research on earrings....

I like how the type has been ingraved onto these earrings. I also like how the type is on a separate piece of metal(?) and hanging of the hoop.

I like how the sans serif font has been used in these earring. I like how the sans serif font has been used in these earrings, it makes the letters easy to see. I also like how the letters are hanging of the hoop.

I like the serif font used in this necklace and how the letters are layed out.

I like the serif font used in these necklaces. I like the design of these as they are very simply.

I like how the type has been used to create the ring (if it is type, i think it is though)

I like how the letters and numbers have been used on the bag. The use of the sans serif fonts make the type clear.

I like how the big 'and' sign has been used to make up the necklace. I think its cool how there is other letters printed on it.

I like how the sans serif font has been used to make the above necklace. I like how one character has been used to make up the necklace. I also like how the speech marks have been used in the earring, its cool how they have been cut out of the plastic.

Some magazine ideas...

2010-03-02T09:54:00.000-08:00

^This is the name of my magazine^

I really like this idea for my cover, I like the background image as its nice and colourful, I also like how all the text is layed out.

Just another idea for my cover..don't really like it though.

I like the spread above because the text is well layed out. I also like the way the images are placed on the page.

I like how the image of the tree branches is used as the background as its also like a gradient, it gives the page a really nice effect. I also like how the text and the three images are layed out.

2010-03-02T09:49:00.000-08:00

I made this in relation to my magazine, didn't use it though so thought I would put it on here because I like it.

I started drawing a face...

2010-03-02T08:52:00.000-08:00

..it ended up being a sad face, but I think it looks cool.

I used photoshop and used the brush tool to make this. I changed the shape dynamics of the brush so that the brush would move around.

Messed about with my name in photoshop...

2010-03-02T08:12:00.000-08:00

I made these images on photoshop. I like how in the first one I have used black and white text which gives the image a nice effect. I like how in the last one I have used different sizes of the font and I also like the way the main initials 'KJC' are in a different colour. I like the middle one the best as I like the way the different fonts have been used and different sizes.

Experimenting in photoshop...

2010-03-02T07:59:00.000-08:00

I just created the word Belfast then messed about with it in photoshop. I think they turned out really cool. I like the first and last one the best as the first one seems like its sitting out from the page and I like the colours as shapes in the last one.

I also made this in photoshop, I like it how the rest of the word Belfast is inside the B, this image could be used as a logo and I also could of used it in my magazine.

Random..

2010-02-25T11:53:00.000-08:00

I drew the word type on my car window, I thought it looked cool so I took a picture of it. I like how the light is shining on the glass and the effect it creates.

Typography

2010-02-13T09:39:00.000-08:00

I used the word typography to create letters which made up the word typography (kinda hard to explain, but ya no what i mean)..I then made it into a brush on photoshop (shown below)..

I then messed about with the brush size and opacity to make the image below.

I had a go at making a picture from type..

2010-02-13T08:52:00.000-08:00

This is the original image which I got on google images.

This is the end result. First time I had a go at this, took me about half an hour.

Some stuff i like..

My 5 favourite typography pics from our dander..

2010-02-07T12:49:00.000-08:00

I like this picture because the font used stands out well through the use of the text colour and the border on the text. I also like how all the instruments are in the picture.

I like this picture, the font used is very soft and the use of colours make the text stand out more.

I like this picture as it speaks for itself, the font used is clear, the text is in CAPITALS and is also well s p a c e d out.

I like this picture because, as you can see it has been there for some time, the text is still clearly visible through the use of colours and CAPITAL letters.

I like this picture because the font used is clear, in CAPITALS and well s p a c e d out.
