I have a font fetish. I admit it. There are so many good fonts that it was hard to pick what ones looked best, so I just randomly picked some. I hope you will vote and celebrate one of the finest art forms around. Typography.

This concept has been done and done, but rarely has it been executed as well as yours. I love it.

Only complaint? The 'nueve std' on the right clearly has 'std' showing, scootch it to the right a bit so we can see more of the 'nueva' so the 'std' part doesn't make us think 'sexual transmitted diseases'.

Well, keep in mind I'm not an artist in any sense of the word. I have no education in art, I can't even draw. I can however take different elements and manipulate or arrange them to make a design. So that's what I do.

Not everyone has the same level as skill as you do Seven Hundred.

I normally don't like when the name of the font is written in that font, it reminds me of posters we used for yearbook. But this is sweet.

God, I HATE Comic Sans. I'm glad I don't see it. Although it looks as though you used PizzaDude's "Agent Orange" in the background, and you condensed it. For future reference, try not to squash or expand fonts other than changing their point size. Kerning/tracking is always cool, but never compress fonts.

Nope, there was no condensing going on. Kerning is the culprit.

i am a com design student but i am still yet to embrace type with the passion of my lecturers... this is clean, well executed, and has a dash of intelect... yet with the text by itself it feels devoid of emotion and intrigue... yet you seem to be doing well... and Gary Emery doesn't impress me that much so who cares what i think...

good luck...

thelottery on Jul 18 '06
My suggestion: if you're going to do a design that celebrates typography, you should really consider stronger font choices. Verdana? Tahoma? Palatino? Those are all really generic typefaces. (i.e. if they come free with your computer, they're generic.) Clearly you can see by this that I'm a bit of a font snob. But I see no Futura, no Gil Sans, no Univers, no DIN Schriften... no essential classics. The layout is solid, I'd just change the font choices.

mindtrance
mindtrance on Jul 18 '06
The font choices may change if it gets printed who knows. The bigger issue is what fonts are free vs. what ones are only purchased. That's the reason the fonts that were used were picked.

Thank you for the comments!

this makes me excited all over again for my typography class this fall. I'm not too keen on courier new or lucida console, but overall the design is tight. for someone who says they're not a designer, good job!!

Oh, and I don't find it "lazy" at all...

thekungfus on Jul 18 '06
I really like the idea, but I think you should have displayed some really nice fonts like trajon and such rather than veranda and new times roman and the rest of the fonts that come with every computer.
mindtrance
mindtrance on Jul 18 '06
I hope people don't give it a low score because I used free fonts. The fonts may be subject to change depending on if it gets printed too.

Pretty cool man. It's just pure typography, and it's not wasting time trying to convey some other message. Well done. Looks better in grey, in my opinion

Well executed, but done before in just about every graphic design book available. Like a good little design student, I have something very similar to this in my portfolio, and I wouldn't wear it on a t-shirt. Good subtle touches like the 'Verdana' and 'Times New Roman' sharing an 'e'. And I like the font that you've used for the word 'typography'.

Better fonts are in order if it gets printed... if the fonts are the only thing holding you back then vote a $5 and the fonts will be changed a bit :)

I believe this has been done.. and I understand that a lot of people are font nuts, but, I can't give you more than a 1 because what effort did this take? I could've made this.
electronically
electronically on Jul 19 '06
Oh and won't it be one hell of a task getting permission from them? Dafont used to be my life and everytime I downloaded a font, in the attachment was a notice saying "CONTACT ME IF YOU USE THIS IN ANYTHING COMMERCIAL" or what not.

schwe on Jul 19 '06
^ Ok. You can't discount the score just cause it didn't take a lot of 'effort' to create the design. You also have to take into account creativity/uniqueness and how much the design appeals to you personally. I've seen some designs on here that five-year olds can make but they're refreshing, unique, creative and for that I give them 5's.

I think this was put together well and cleanly. But I'm not a huge fan of fonts, and as such, 4.

Electronically: since you could have made this, why don't you actually submit something that takes some time before you talk trash.

I love type, and I like that you paid some attention to letterspacing, but I wish you would have picked something other than "eight track program" for the word typography, but I do like the tight kerning on it.

i agree with realslimnatey, this would be a great wall blik thingy. also, i do love this as a shirt. yes, fonty stuff has been done. but isn't every bit of life a repetition of something else? :p seriously though, this is great.

I went to a friends wedding and all the tables at the reception were font themed, with the menus written in that font. The lawyers sat on Times New Roman, the children on Comic Sans, etc. I was put on Wingdings!

Oh, and $5 on the shirt for me, plus one for my married font-loving friend.

i like it on the side. where you can actually read the types. but in the middle i think it might be a little too crowded. and if your gonna do a shirt on typography, it might be nice to read the types. =]]

well i stumbled onto this way after the scoring was done.
anyway. i'm sorry to sound negative but i'm surprised that people are saying such great things about this.

again... sorry but i think this is a very poor example of what good typography is.
