Typography and Its Versitility

 Recently I have been looking at typography and its uses in the everyday world. It so interesting how we use it along with other elements such as flow and rhythm to create an advertisement or an image. I found some interesting and unique examples that I really liked.

This rose is done entirely of words in a script type. It was really cool to see that the image was created completely out of minute script.

 I love love love this image! With this script, you can read love one way and hate the other. I found this one through a tattoo design web site.

This image was so unique because of the use of ribbons to create an image along with text incorporated within it. The text become apart of the image and using the swirls within the letters really gives it an extra element!

 These next few images show the use of direction and rhythm along with text in an image and how it works to create an advertisement.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Text Effects

I have been learning about different things and ways to manipulate images and text in Photoshop and it is really cool. Just recently i figured out how to place an image inside of text which creates a really awesome effect! You can also distort the image or text, change the color, gradient or add shadows and a glow in order to create a great picture or make the image work for whatever purpose you desire. There are so many ways to change an image and to make it unique!

 Here is link to one of the effects I used and thought was pretty interesting.

This is an example of what the end result is with this particular effect. You can also add different actions to it to really make it original!
