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!

Posted 330 days ago 25Being 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.

Posted 390 days ago 24What 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.

Posted 655 days ago 12Some 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.

Posted 657 days ago 7There’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.

Posted 651 days ago 17One 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.
