Tones & Type

It's been a while since I've posted something of my own. For one of my classes we had to design a poster for the movie Coraline using only two typefaces, no images, and no color. So I decided to make an image out of type. The technique isn't new by any means, but it was always something I've always wanted to try. It's just an overlay of text blocks overlapping and creating tone. If I have the time I might go back and add more flourishes. You can see the results to the right (Slow Internet Connection Warning: It's 15mb.)

Un Cœur de Papier

Your heart knows in silence the reason for days and nights and your ears would like to hear what your heart knows. –Voltaire

These lovelies come from the teeny tiny scissors of Aoyama Hina, which I found through Paper Forest.

Pretty Paper Cuts

I'm absolutely blown away by designers and illustrators that use unconventional tools to produce typography. Yulia Brodskaya proves it can be done with paper, negative space, X-Actos, patience and grace.

Oh, it's a PUN!

Bookands!
