Typography

These are examples of typography, using tools in photo shop to structure  the pattern and shape 

After learning how to bed words into shapes like below i realised, its kind of like comics and cartoons when they have wrods go in one ear as it narrows into a cone then come out of the other ear. which out saying anyhting its made an impact. 
You know that it would mean thats gone straight though them.






Typography is interesting because you can give words an image. making a word shout without using an exclamation mark, and by putting it in an interesting shape you it makes it a lot more attractive to read and look at. 
I believe it can also create a mood of the room, by making it red and pointy  it creates an image of hostility and sharpness.
by using a soft colour  and rounded words, it creates a nice pleasant atmosphere.

Also typography can be used to voice opinions , haveing one word stand out in a mist of other words which are related.

To me this poster is alot more exciteing then just seeing him. his face is covered in lyrics or ways to describe his music. but its more eye catching too and makes you wana take a look.
Typography is used in normal magazines too. if they where talking about over weight people they might use rounder letterings and fonts to empisise, what they are talking about.
