This composition is a study on fonts, their characters and how they interact with each other in a given space. The object of the peice was to create a visual gestalt using the font face Univers. Please let me know what you think. for all of you wondering. this is done by hand, cutting out printed type, taping and xeroxing the image to remove any lines. should try it its really fun :) amazing stuff comes out of it. great practice for all designers.

It ROCKS!! : )
no, really. I'm a designer myself, but more into calligraphy stuff..
And, from my experience, making these by hand gives you some extra edge in composition over photoshop. Don't know how to explain.. Maybe its about feeling the real space and perspective, rather than staring at the screen... You feel more natural, more at home, and that's important for making a good piece, such as this one.

i really don't think any criticism is necessary on this piece. I wish typography and layout and graphic design was accepted more to be an art -- a personal art -- who cares what the rules are sometimes.

i absolutely love this .. great job on this.

Very good piece rizn. I’m new to the “Typography world and look forward to art like this for inspiration. The meaning you have of ‘Typography” was very useful. Keep up the work :0)
