The Butterfly Effect-Distressed Typography

I found this picture on the Ungrind.org website. I thought the typeface for this picture was a little distressed/fatigue. I like the image and the colors. I kind of wish they used a different color for the typeface because the word "butterfly" looks really distressed that you might can't make out the lettering. I want to know what you think?

Feels a little like Christmas

As you know, the semester is ending. I enjoyed this class. For me, this class has been an interesting and struggling experience. I'm not an ART major, but I do so very much enjoy the ARTS. This class has open my awareness and history of Typography. I would recommend this class to anyone who enjoys to learn something new. I wanted to leave you with something warm and chocolaty as the theme to my blog site. Enjoy the small treat!!!I enjoy the letter treament at the end of the the "ChocoLixir". It gives it a warm and rich experience when you drink the warm coco!

Rosa Mexicano (Latin Typography)

My cousin and I were at the National Harbor this past Friday, and it was interesting to see this restaurant logo, which was colorful and lively and had a Latin feel to the choice of typography. I never ate here, before, but just looking at the sign made it inviting to try there foods.

Chanel No.5 ( Historial typography reused in contemporary design)

Two weeks ago, a friend and I was walking around Chinatown, D.C. As as we were passing a store window, which had a big bottle of Chanel perfume on display. You would think I would pay attention to the big bottle of perfume, but I paid a attention to the choice of typeface. When you think about it Chanel has been in business since the early 1900's. They have never changed there logo for there Chanel No.5. Which was interesting to me, because this is an old typeface which is considered to be historical and mainly used in many forms. This typeface is a simple sans serif, but this typeface has been a hallmark for elegance for Chanel No.5 product.

Gaylord Hotel @ The National Harbor

On black Friday a day after Thanksgiving, I was at the Gaylord Hotel in Maryland viewing the decorations in the hotel. When I notice the store's typography. I wasn't able to go into the stores, but I was enjoying the choice of typeface the owners chose to use for their store front. My particular favorite is the Pajama Party one, because they use a rich gold background with a light pink border with a moon. In a way, I thought it was fanasty/childlike in a way. I don't know if it was the color choices for the background on the moon with the cap over his head. But, it was a joy to see this fresh look on typography.

Pretty Girls

I was discussing with a friend a particular shirt that a friend was thinking of purchasing to wear. From first glance, the shirt seems perfectly fine and the lettering is neat and clear in white letters. But when you further looks at the shirt, you see women posing provocatively throughout the typeface. After that second glance, we talked the friend out of purchasing that shirt, because it sent a message that only pretty girls that pose like this are "PRETTY". I wonder would anyone have a problem wearing this shirt?

Parson's New School of Design (Contemporary)

I was at the Parson School of Design website (http://www.parsons.edu/) a few months ago, and I saw this logo. Which I thought looked kind of cool. I like how they had the bold black letters in the black ground and place the other forms of the statement " THE NEW SCHOOL" in warm colors of orange and yellows. This design reminded me of our second project working in illustrator and how we could you the word and make some sense of it.

Bite into the Apple

I found this picture on a blog site called Ungrind.org, a Women's Christian Blog. As, I was reading some of the blogs from women of all backgrounds and ages. I saw this picture above the article written with the picture. The writing on this one, which was simple and I like how they place the name "Eve" into the apple with the heart carved out. As we know, Eve picked the apple from the tree and "Eve" stand for mother of the living. I like the typeface they used, which was simple and placing the apple at the end. To give it a signature touch.
