Blog Entry 7

The next thing I went to on my nostalgic search for my thesis idea was in Typography. Anyone can make a book, anyone can make a typeface (well maybe not everyone..), and text is so ubiquitous we're hard pressed to find something creative to do with it that someone has not done already. I'm not really sure if this is the route I want to be going, but I'm just trying to brainstorm on meaning, esentially, what is design and what are people doing with it? Where do I fit in? What interests me enough about this subject? For this area, I think I'm more drawn to creating images with words. Using text as a medium or as a guide. Here are some examples i've found, plus some other little creative things others have done with text.


 
These I found on etsy. Being sold by a user by the name of BoldandNoble


another text work done by Matthew Cusick 



find this and other typeography wall papers here

This I thought was pretty cool, a font made from a defined circle. Almost like a digital clock
