Pictures for Typography..

This was one of the photos i took from last week, I particularly liked this photo as i thought it was quite striking, straightforward and self-explanatory. I also admire the style of font used in this piece as i feel it helps make this piece stand out and it seems to compliment the picture very well also. the blue background works well along with the white text and also serves to add to the overall professionalism of this piece of work.
















Opposite is another picture which i captured last week. I liked this picture as it has quite a nice textured rough effect to it along with the fact that it is simple and straight to the point. The text has been accompanied by a picture of a motor car in order to emphasise it further. I think the red font works well against the white background along with the slight slant on the text which almost suggests speed and movement to the viewer. Overall I really like this piece of work as it is simple yet very effective.


Opposite is my third and final favourite photo I managed to capture during our "TypeWalk" last week. I feel this is my favourite as it is very informative and delivers a message to the viewer immediately through the text and style of font used. The word "wringers" gives the viewer an immediate image of something being spun or twisted and this is conveyed additonally through a small picture at the side of a piece of clothing being twisted dry. The word twust has also been manipulated in a twist like fashion to emphasise the word even further. However despite these various positives i feel thatperhaps a different colour scheme could have been emplyed in order to make the lettering stand out more to the viewers eye. However, apart from this minor set back i feel this is a really interesting piece of typography and that it serves it duty quite well.
