TYPO

in Blog, Inspiration, Photoshop, Typography by Erik — September 8, 2009 at 9:41 | 1 comment

One of my first Photoshop creations, lot’s of work to get it all together but it was nice to do. In every letter of TYPO there is the same letter of a different font I had on my PC at that moment.
When I created this, I didn’t have to much knowledge of Illustrator but if I make something like this again I will definitely do it in Illustrator just for the simple fact of vectors. The original is made at a resolution of 1280 by 800 (max laptop resolution) so on large screens it does not speak as much as it should do.
Anyway it’s a nice inspiration and although it’s not perfect I still like it very much.

The text in the lower left corner states the following:

Typography is the craft, art, and science of typesetting, type design and modifying type glyphs.
Type glyphs (characters) are created and modified using a variety of illustration techniques.
Details involved in the arrangement of type include the selection of fonts, point size, line length, leading (inter-linear spacing), letter spacing and kerning.
