ISTD 2011

Here's my first post for the ISTD (International Society of Typographic Designers) brief.
I haven't actually decided on a brief to focus on for this project, once again, none of them have really jumped off the page at me & most of them I have struggled to get my head around, it's almost as though someone's collected all the words from a dictionary & scattered them across the page. Needless to say I'll probably have a brief chosen by this week, but regardless of the brief I choose, I have something else I want to share. Whilst doing my routine Facebook news feed check, a post emerged from a group I "liked" called Design.org, entitled: "Make it Better." noticing the word typography in the description, I decided to click through & find out what this was all about & it happened to be a really cool Typography video, showcasing various typefaces in a kinetic format, showing how type can start off as very simple & basic & completely escalate to wild & wonderful levels, you can check out the video by clicking HERE!
