Typoraphy Design

So I got bored after my shift at Cineworld....so I thought I would check my Twitter account as I hadnt checked it in a while and keep getting notifications from people following my twitter.
I went on to this typography site Im following and they had posted some typography illustrations which look really up my street. It was on a website called best design options and they had a blog on there called 30 examples of beautiful typography illustrations.

The best ones I think are of the main attractions in London like the o2 dome and the River Thames and how they have used type to construct the image creatively. To create an image using typography is a huge interest of mine even the most simplest of design is still majorly effective and exciting to look at.




Blah....

I received my business cards today from the people that I did work experience for (Barter and Barrett) absolute love them they look hot with a little spot gloss added!.....and I ordered a paper stock sample pack from Jam Jar Print. I used these printers for my buisness cards.

Ive also got a contact that will help me put together and help me with my website which is good :) so roll on next week and holiday and birthday time!!

Bus Designs

I really like these designs that I created they focus very much on colour and type.
I thought about spelling out St.Ives letter by letter on each different bus. Inside the letter will show factual information about St.Ives, but then the downside of this was that people might not understand the message.
So I have looked at different ways of how I could display the information, for example: a heart shape and a magnifying glass. I have included the important information about St.Ives in the objects.

Getting feedback on this I found that with a bus advertisement people will only be able to see the bus for a few seconds so the impact and message is the main key to this. So I need to focus on an image based advert and getting the main information across without using to much typography.

Here are the first ideas that I came up with combining image and type together. I focussed on the main attraction in St.Ives which is the St.Ives Chapel and Bridge. Looking over it I don't think it shows what St.Ives can offer, the image also looks quite dull and is not eye catching enough if it is to be situated on the back of a bus.

I need to focus on colour and attractive and appealing imagery to attract people to visit St.Ives.
