I decided to create my own typograms in Adobe Illustrator. It is a fun way to be creative and learn how some fonts express certain emotions. The word becomes an image instead of just "text".
I used a thesaurus and brainstormed over a hundred words. I made many sketches on paper before I made the computer renderings. The best way to design logos or typograms is to sketch as many ideas as you can!
Fonts
Level: Futura
Illuminate: Helvetica (different weights)
Hostage: Goudy Oldstyle
Nice blog here ! It HAS to become bigger.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, cool typograms, I especially like "illuminate".
I found this blog while searching documentation for my last minecraft video (you should check that : http://youtu.be/nu3hhNTyahg) and loved it.
Also wanted to share one of my typograms : http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/4964/18192318031475640051399.jpg
Sorry for the poor english, here in France the english lessons are shitty and I really don't have time to learn by myself with a freaking book.
Oh i forgot to introduce, my name is Leo and I'm in first year in the Ecole Supérieur d'Art et de Design d'Amiens (specialised in typography)
