Type Camp

Seriously Check this out http://www.typecamp.org/ its a place where you go for about a week with other people interested in typeography and learn about, design, critique, draw, talk and analyze about typography. The projects, the campers, and the instructors change every year so its always different!

Type Systems

These were sent to me by a teacher this year in Florida, and are great to see different ways of arranging type!




Some dynamic, some systematic.

Hidden Type

In the parks leading up to the Castle in Barcelona I found some giant type hidden in the bushes, all it said was "A-Z"!

Type in the Sky

Wow...I remember when I went to New York, all I could do was look up at the skyscrapers which created amazing shapes and reflections in one another! How ever I never saw anything like this. I love that somebody has taken the time to find these letters in the sky and I wonder how many pictures they had to take before they got the right formations. It's also a reminder to look up every once an a while!

Italic Poster

I came across this rather literal poster and although I really liked it due to its quirky and obvious pun, I couldn't decide if it annoyed me that it didn't have a purpose. It was a poster telling me it was a poster, there is no other purpose for it other than its visual pun.....however it made me laugh which has to give it some sort of validation.

This is a cute little gift I found while searching for an anniversary present! Although it has absolutely no use and is probably over priced I thought it was simple and sentimental gesture made through design. 

Feltron Annual Report

This is the Annual report for Nicholas Feltron....This is not a big company but a person! It is the documentation of Feltron's Life in 2007.



Feltron is a Graphic Designer who has collected data from the last year and condensed it into an annual Report. It contains things like how many miles he travelled in the year, the percentage of actives making up an average day and many more unusual statistics!

This is a great and unusual concept which as a personal project has grown to a commercial success for Feltron as designers like myself can appreciate the graphical layout and transformation of brining the data to life. It is definitely worth checking out in print as the images on the web don't really do the whole thing justice!

Misprinted Type

www.misprintedtype.com

I stumbled across this website the other day and wanted to share it with everyone! I think this is a really nice example of mixed media. This guys uses retro images with hand rendered type and drawings. Some of his pieces have strong concepts behind them, others are more for fun. However the main reason for pointing this website out was how refreshing it was to see some graphic design that hasn't been churned out solely on a computer!
