Decomposing Type

Just some examples of "found type" with a Halloween theme. This is my first attempt at carving a jack o'lantern. (better late than never)
and then, how it changed within a few days. pretty cool. or pretty ghoul-ish. and moldy.














just some found type in a little kids haunted house.
nice.












& to keep with the theme, an example of a Halloween style font.

Window Dressing

Nordstrom in Aventura Mall has a window display featuring the Burberry brand. Burberry was found in 1886 and manufactures luxury clothing and fashion accessories. The typography used on the glass is a classic serif typeface and the word "iconically" is italicized in all lowercase letters.

The iconic "Burberry classic check" is a red, black and tan tartan pattern developed in the 1920's. A far step away from its historical roots of the equestrian knight logo and checkered trenchcoat lining, the iconic brand has taken elements of the classic and given its merchandising design a modern twist.

check out my mug

My coffee mug is an example of a visual image created strictly out of typographic elements. There are commercial examples of this design technique, as well many beautiful examples of fine art created with different fonts and with various levels of complexity.
