Roads sings & ledgibility.



















I think these are really good examples of clear legibility. There's visible from a distance and are straight to the point.


I have also thought about color, this again needs to be clear and easy to read. I'm think of using traditional signage color.

Development of ideas.

Another idea










Quote " Your Dry" Tim Downing.

TDC annual




















Wood block type. - "doctor, doctor"





















This book also shows some brilliant type as image the work above is something i would like to try. Working on a big scale and taking a photograph can give that really wow factor.

Playful type





























































This book has some really good references for type as image and different mediums to work in. The kind of work that has been produced is the kind of work which would be really suited to being on a wall in a frame because of how visually exciting and atheistically pleasing it is.
I hope to create something similar for the type as image brief.
