ABCing: Seeing the Alphabet Differently

Came across this book: ABCing: Seeing the Alphabet Differently by Colleen Ellis. It is similar to some of the projects we do in 2DIS, playing around with the positive and negative spaces of figure and ground.

The site also contains some good links (Mark Batty publisher).

Typography Mania

Abduzeedo is a great website for designers. The site is always featuring inspirations that range from photos, ads, vectors, CG paintings, and manipulations, but what I wanted to focus on was their typographic mania section. Since we a a communication design focused class and are currently working on textual posters, I figured this would be a great site for inspiration. Here is where you can find all of their typographic mania posts.
