This week on the blog I follow, EyeBlog, there was an entry about a design exhibition held in Tokyo. Covers were featured from Ronald Clyne for Folkways Records. I really liked the images they posted because of the type treatment. Here are two examples in particular that played with the type to produce a cover design:
Typography is something I'm working hard to get better at. I love creating typography illustrations, but I think it can be so difficult just trying to find an appropriate typeface for headlines, subheads, and body copy. I find it difficult to reflect the personality I'm going for with fonts, some times. I've been making it my goal to spend more time searching through free font sites like dafont instead of just settling on something because it "looks nice." Type can completely change the appearance of your design, so I need to get used to playing with it!
