Type in Urban Settings

This project reminded me of an assignment from my highschool photo class. We were shown the same example of the alphabet from looking up. We were required to go around and shoot things in nature or urban settings that resembled letters. On top of that we were required to shoot the photos in order from a-z. I feel that this assignment was kind of like it but more eye opening because i have a new understanding of type that i didnt have in highschool.

MY JOURNEY THROUGH L_TOWN

"insert title here"

Stefan Sagmeister brings up the interesting point that design can make you happy. The title "insert title here" references the designer who goes around putting empty speech bubbles around new york. i agree that design can make you happy, lately i have found myself wondering around looking at different designs and when i find logos that i like i find myself happier inside.

i also listened to ursus whehril - tiding up art- a swiss graphic designer

he uses a comedian approach to give his presentation and he talks about cleaning up abstract art. he also talks about how swiss design is very simple and organized.

Obey

//I feel that this poster is communicating that war is no good. Obey uses propaganda style

posters to show his anti war stance. This one makes an allusion to vietnam and the flowers 

in the barrel of the guns. The stripes in the background also allude to soviet union posters.

Its a juxtaposition between love and war that makes this poster interesting.//
