Monumental Typography
Turning dreams into typography and letterforms
Typography was always the cornerstone of great communication design. Bending, molding, manipulating, reordering, structuring and applying your creative skills to typography can produce some remarkable results. This article ran in DT&G Magazine back in the summer of 2010, and I've rejuvenated it here. I did have to eliminate several entries which have disappeared, or the links turned bad. Enjoy, and post the ones you found for us all to enjoy!
Flyer for local school party
Felix Valentin writes ... "I am a 22 years old German-based guy. And I'm into art. In early days I discovered my passion for drawing and painting which probably influenced my thinking towards arts nowadays. When my friend Philip Tiedböhl introduced me to Photoshop 7, I completely fell in love with it." felixvalentin.de*

"Shy Dog 1978" is a creative individual on the DeviantArt platform, known for digital art, manip-ulations, and creative writing, often exploring themes like love, hate, and fantasy, as seen in works like "Zebra Skin" . . . but he's got an awesome array of works on his DeviantArt installation*

This one was from Gome Diazine, but all the links are dead, and Google shows nobody by that name.
Break on Through
Exprimental work created with 3D Max and Photoshop. This was another DeviantArt artist "Manthra" but the page has gone 404.
Typography is the voice of graphic design. It speaks directly to the viewer.
