Disorder Type

Of course it is obvious that this is a production of a typeface, but if put into a different context entirely there could be a whole new meaning that could be taken from it.

In the context of society, it shows our despondence not to conform with the regulations we are supposed to follow, in a world where everyone is trying to be different and unique, to break these laws of living and stretch them ever further.

Basurama

"Basurama is an organization which aims to study the inherent phenomenon of the massive production of real and virtual rubbish in the today’s consumer society providing new visions which operate as generators of thinking and attitude."

"..researched in the mistakes, horrors, and forgetfulness of the Madrid’s rubbish from the urban, perceptive, graphic, typographical and politic point of view.."

A typeface produced from the signs of shops in the centre of Madrid. The concept is of interest, which is focused on today's consumer society to produce new meanings by reproducing the already established meanings.

Werkplaats Typografie

Interesting approach for displaying a portfolio of works, making it more interactive to the user, allowing them to move bits around the webpage and viewing the different works.

Toormix

More of this monotone stuff, the red being the only colour really brings it out the paper. The positioning of the type looks completely fine even though it is over the image.

Appreciate Rain

us design studio designed these posters and T-shirts to persuade people to look at the rain in a different way. They only revealed their message when exposed to rain.

The Less Popular Side

1920s-50s postcard collection of the less popular side of postcards. The best bit about them I like is the stamped effect, bits of type show up stronger in different areas where the stamp hasn't got an equal cover of ink on it.

Interesting blog by the same person at smoothfluid.com.

Periodic Table of Typefaces

This table lists 100 of the most popular, influential and notorious typefaces today. In the style of all the thousands of 'Periodic Table of Elements' posters hanging in schools and homes around the world.

Most people will be aware of the use of the original table, therefore this wouldn't mean much had there not already been a table that is as well known as it is.

Found on the Behance Network.

Typography: Le Vide Papier

'Le vide papier' which translates to 'the empty paper'.

Although it's in French, I find this an interesting concept to get the user to interact with the design, enabling them to take the type away using the transparent sheet, seems rather pointless yet I like it.

It could also be easily used for various other applications.

Typography Examples

Some good uses of type used in many different styles, from the most common uses and irregular uses. The examples can be found here.
