Hand drawn alphabet.
Line drawing with pen.

I love the detail in this typeface. I think it works even better because the original typeface used is simple so as to not detract from the illustrations. The tiny details make it something special and not just doodles... the letters do not have a stroke around them but enirely made up of the pen illustrations. each letterform has a different element and some have parts missing and illustrations coming out from them. Really lovely work.

Abolish the Forest (2).

From a series of scratched photographs originally exhibited as part of the Abolish the Forest film screening. I am sure I have seen this before but never blogged it. Each time I see it I like it more. I love the interation between image and type. Beautiful stuff. I think I might try and get a copy of this. I find it so inspirational and... waking! Also I am going to try out scratching photographs to add some typography style to them. 

Bela Borsodi

Photographer Bela Borsodi shot the word alphabets for WAD magazine. It is reminds me of the H I made in visual language. If these letters were viewed from any other angle, they would not make sense. I love it. I think the intelligence needed to create such a beautiful piece is good. Borsodis other work is pretty impressive too, see last image.

Don't Panic

Don't Panic have a poster competition where anyone can enter and get their poster made and distributed to loads of people! It's a good idea. But... it is also pretty difficult to know what poster they would like from a one word brief. Here are some of my favourite posters which have won in the past. As you can see they are all very different and there does not seem to be a preferred style.
