TypographyPosterSuperman

 

I really enjoy this poster because it uses the same words (truth, way, justice, American) to make a picture of Superman in front of the American Flag.  This image both brings out the child in everyone and their patriotic beliefs.  In no way whatsoever does the words ever describe what the image actually is, just what it stands for.  Furthermore, the colors themselves instantly attract the eye right to Superman’s chest where is classic S insignia lies.

This image is creative in the fact that it is simply made from words in different text colors.  When someone sees this poster, he or she instantly wishes it was them in front of the flag.

This typographical deign of an order of fires from burger king uses a clever set of bold all caps typeface to represent the popular side order.  The typeface is big and fun, just like an order of fries at burger king.  However, the design is not spectacular because it is quite difficult to read what the fries are saying.  This makes it difficult to interpret exactly how the order of fries is meant to appear.  This is actually a fairly major flaw in the design because it interferes with our understanding of the poster.  While the idea is clever, the poster itself simply does not work.

typography-designs-11I was drawn to this typography design because at first glance you see letters constructed into the shape of a pyramid. Looking closer, the letters form words into the phrase, “Lead us not into war or hate, lead us not into global catastrophes, lead us not into into the future.” The words get bigger as the sentence continues, ending with the word future as the largest in the pyramid. This ties in with the overall look of the type, the letters being formed by constructive lines, as if they could actually form a 3D object. Also, having the black background and clean cut white lines seems futuristic.

Symbols Typography

I really like the use of symbols in this typography. The font is interesting enough, and the fairly professional typeface along with the use of symbols to make the S in the word “symbol” is extremely creative and eye-catching. I also love the use of open space, with the placement of “symbol” in the very middle of the poster. The open space around the typography draws the eye to the center, and contrary to the rule or thirds, the placement of the typography works perfectly on this poster.

.I like the design of this using typography because it never says in any of the words what the design actually is. Everyone knows that it’s the super hero character Mario. It does have a lot of words and catchphrases that are related to the Mario franchist, such as “it’s a me!” and “Mama Mia!” and “princess” (which refers to Princess Peach. I know that distortion is a giant no-no in most typography, but it definitely works in the designers favor in this instance. I also think that without coloring in Mario’s shirt and overalls, and the design was all black, it might have been harder to pick up on the fact that this design was indeed Mario the plumber. So, the elements of the design that I like are the distortion and the coloring.
