This time we’re gonna show you some truly inspiring works with text, also referred to as typography. This can be used many places; in magazines, advertisements, websites, logos and more. These great pieces will show you that there are no boundaries and that you can make almost anything with text if you have a good portion of creativity and talent.
Typography can in todays terms be so much more than what you find in a book or magazine. It’s turned into a very inspiring form of art, and there are many great pieces out there. Many times they can be mixed with either other graphical elements or some sort of poem or saying. Here we’ve picked out 50 pieces that can inspire you and maybe give you some new ideas.
Enjoy!
We hope you’ve gotten some inspiration from these great examples that show the diversity that can be found within typography. Remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, maybe you’ve liked some and disliked others. We would also love to hear your opinions. Which is your favorite?
Thank you for reading!

Amazing post. Love the creative use with the faces. Makes me feel depressed my typography skills aren’t this great.

Being a lover of Milk, Milking by ~buioaloha really caught my eye. That is fantastic – would love to have seen the photoshoot for that one, thanks.

What an amazing art! I never thought that I could actually like this, however right now I can’t get my eyes off to this exhibit. I think I’m starting to love typography too. I can’t believe you can do so many things and much more with only the use of words.

These examples of designing with type are inspiring! Thank you for sharing.

Some of these are nice. But too many of them are little more than predictable software manipulation of type as an element with little regard for aesthetics, kerning, composition or any basic elements of what makes a piece of design or illustration good. Artifically condensing sans serif type? Never a good idea.

Wow, awesome collection of typography!! I really like the style of the John Lennon and Martin Luther King Jr by Bencii!!
Thanks for sharing.

“I love typography” is awesome!

There’s some cool designs in there, but ‘extremely awesome’ is a bit strong title. Quite inspiring list though.
The John Lennon piece looks good, I just wish you could see the letters more clearly. Now it looks like there’s scribbled brush strokes in it as well which kind of kills the great idea.
Buio milk looks very professional, though I read it as ‘bujo’ first. It’s probably the most complicated one in this list. I also like the Conceptual Art and 99%.
Thanks for sharing.

Truly amazing collection! The typo-portraits (Obama, Jobs) are awesome.
Thursday, August 5th, 2010 03:59
These designs are amazing – sometimes I really wonder how long it takes for a designer to come up with awesome art like this? A couple of days?
Thursday, August 5th, 2010 03:52
Beautiful compilation, Hilde! Thanks so much for that morning pick-me-up. :)

One to two days easy. I remember creating the Joker with just dots, no lines. It took FOREVER but in the end it looked great and was worth the time.
Great post.
