Typography over Images.

I have always had a love for words but my growing interest in typography and designing the way that copy is displayed, has led me to question whether copy, when designed well, can do a better job in communicating than photographs and illustration. There is and will always be a need for visuals, but words are so beautiful that they are often enough on their own.

Absolutely Breath-taking. Some Calligraphy from Scribe Luca Barcellona. 

Daily Dairy, Kim Hei Ip

Packaging Design website, The Dieline, regularly feature Student projects on their blog - project work finished to such a high skill that could be placed straight into a consumers hand! 

This work in particular, by Australian student, Kim Hei Ip, caught my eye (as it should, which definitely proves that it serves its purpose) for its bright yellow and beautifully playful use of typography. It is reminiscent of the Innocent range with it’s simplicity and uplifting effect. The only change I would personally make is to, perhaps, use another colour, something a little less harsh on the eye, or use two colours and set the type in a darker tone. 

I think that this is a perfect example of the standard of work that students should have in their post-grad portfolios.
