"Typography Tastes This Good" -BYU Graphic Design Department

I found this which was made by students from Brigham Young University. "A beautiful typography film made by the BYU design students and faculty for the 5th Typophile Film Festival. The wonderful part is that it’s done in stop-motion and with no CG effects!"

Titanic in Type


This project has taken me a really long time. I created "Titanic sinking" with just letters and characters. Letters can be images. I didn't change the letter form just the size of them. I created it in Illustrator CS5 and made it into a magazine spread in InDesign CS5.

I did not write the article. I just created the Titanic graphics for it!

Printing on a Printing Press

Here is a video I found about Cameron Moll's Type Monument and the process of how he prints them so carefully.

Using Letters to Create Monuments

"Crafted character by character in the shape of the Salt Lake Temple, designer Cameron Moll’s letterpress tower took hundreds of hours to create. The beautiful architectural qualities of the letterpress medium itself pay fitting tribute to a painstaking process, with letters and typefaces chosen by shape for each portion of the design."

I am working on my own, The Titanic Ship. I will post it when it is finished.

Sans Serifs and Camping


Over Memorial Day Weekend, I went camping and to my surprise, everything was in san serifs! There was an entire bulletin board of all San Serif fonts (without the little lines). I took pictures of every sign I saw. Pretty interesting!
