Thanks for Sharing!

Thanks for sharing these with me, to forward to the rest of the class. Enjoy and be inspired!







































This design and more typographic inspiration can be found at http://typenuts.com. Look closely at the ampersand above. It consists of characters only. Great technique to use for a typographic self-portrait!


Now see below for self-portraits from previous semesters. Click on images to view larger.




























And now for more reading material…







































Visit http://justcreativedesign.com to read these great articles. I especially agree with "Why logo design is not $5.00" and "10 words you need to stop misspelling" (includes it's and its!).















Submit tee shirt designs for $? Hmm, something to check out.











Adobe Creative Suite at student prices. Hopefully they offer CS5 soon…





QuarkXPress was once THE program for desktop publishing. Retails for $799. Students can get it for $199??




















Free clip art at http://www.vecteezy.com. This one is from Web Design Hot! Before using any "free" artwork, be sure to read the licensing information. All art has usage restrictions.



Do you see the individual 1, 9, 9, 9 in the design on the left?

Designers Simon Page, Moshik Nadav, Andre Roquette—see more work like this at Behance Network (do an Advanced Search for Typography). Website also has graphic design, illustration, packaging, photography and advertising samples…with an occasional piece that probably wouldn't get past US censors.
