Artist's Comments

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.

Nice one, some elements still need some work, but really good...

Really great work. Given the goals you had in mind (1 font, interaction) I'd say you've done a fantastic job.

This is far more interesting than the all the run-of-the-mill devart stuff I've seen.

The only part that bugs me a bit is how the P overlaps the text to its left. I'm not saying it shouldn't, it just seems a little uncomfortable the way it is now. Perhaps too much gap between "p" and "is" and too much overlap of "language" and "and".

Just needs a little tweeking to get right. Maybe a sharper pic would help, some of the smaller text doesn't look as clean as it could.

Thanks for the comments. They are very helpful. Resolution wise: these font pieces were printed type, which I cut with exacto, and all that crap and glued back together. the small font is clear on the hard copy. I wish I could of gotten a better scan for you guys. Sorry about that. I'll try to get some more up here for you guys interested in this stuff. Hopefully my future ones are better right ? :) (Smile)

wow. exacto.

I didn't know people did that anymore :) (Smile)

Anyway, I'm even more impressed. I could have sworn that was computer designed.

I agree with ~stingeru, it's great to see dome graphic design on dev art.
