check this out guys... its fun... and informative :-)

cluster

What I absolutely hate about websites is the clustering. I like a good clean site where I can go get what I need rather than getting confused and lost in bunch of words which I don't need to begin with.
One of those websites I thought was www.ajc.com.
Your eyes go everywhere. You cannot focus on one thing to read. They have the information but I feel like its just thrown every where. They need to clear it out.

Good and Clean...

I want browsing through a lot of websites. Especially newspaper sites and I came across this one www.knoxnews.com.
Its a newspaper for Knoxville, Tennessee.
Out of all the sites I browsed through, I thought this websites was the most simple, clean and to the point. Its easy to navigate, readability is very clear. Choice of fonts, word spacing, and how they spaced out the paragraph are very good ways to make sure that the people who are browsing the site find it easier and informative at the same time.
Other websites I thought are well-made:
www.abcnews.com
www.cnn.com

good or bad...that is the question...


I thought this poster was not well thought out... the font at points gets hard to read... and the color doesn't help it either... out of all the posters i saw i didn't like this one because to me starting from the design to type..it was not created well...

Suicide....

Cool and awesome comes to mind when I saw this.. From the designing point of view I thought this is very creative yet very disturbing.....it would have much cooler ( not that its not cool now ) if the designer spelled out different words for the reason he is killing himself...

Miss Bodoni

when i first saw this design I actually looked at it over and over again cause I was amazed by the fact that this could be created with just using type!!!!!!!!!! This is extremely creative and an mind blowing design by whoever did it. I plan to find more works by this artist once I found out who it is first :-P

G for Gill


So this poster was created by an art student Anabela Do Rosario. I thought it was a very unique way to show and portray a particular typography...
I like is because to me typography is not just about the fonts..its how to you can create something so artistic using those fonts...
