Typography - Alex D.
I was looking for some cool examples of typography on Instagram and Pinterest and I came across this image that I couldn't stop looking at. It says "Bad typography is everywhere" in the bold red font, but behind the red in an almost illegible font it says "good typography is invisible." I just think that the imagery is really good. I had to zoom in the image a lot in order to see what the message behind the red print red is. I think that this portrays the message of the importance of typography so beautifully. You have to look closely and that is what makes the difference between good and bad typography.
This is super interesting! I had to really look to see what was behind the red letters as well when I first saw the picture, but I think it perfectly illustrates the message it is telling. At first I actually thought the red and white messages were supposed to blend, until I realized that they didn't make sense together. That's when I discovered there was another, "invisible" message underneath.
ReplyDeleteOnce I finally read the "invisible" part, it made a lot more sense. While this statement is true in some contexts, in others I think text needs to make a point rather than just blend in.
