The urban dictionary describes Typography to be:

The study of the design of letter forms, exhibited in type/font styles.

To many people it is different things, I personally find text art to be such a great simple yet highly motivational strand of design.

Kick back and let your Tuesday be ignited by some of the best typography from the past few weeks on the web.

Five Design blogs to Watch out for in 2010

I personally use Google Reader to organize my blog roll, and keep up-to-date on a daily basis with several blogs. These are just some of the blogs which pop out in their design, content and originality.

I Love Typography

Design and Typography go hand in hand, designers the world over use typography in logo’s, advertisements, packaging and posters. It can make any piece of work stand out from the crowd.

This round-up shows off the best in typography in all forms styles, quality is of the highest callibre and approaches range for the conventional to the unique. Design can’t be made without the inclusion of characters and type, the more consideration you give to the minor details the more you will find these subtleties give your design the edge in quality.

Graphic designers and artist’s can use typography to give there work the edge, whether they want to make it look clean cut and minimal or grunge and street like.

20 of the Best Typographical Portraits Found on the Web

Typography affects everything, its how big a title to be, its how widely spaced your having your paragraphs on your page. I want to show the best in typographical portraits found on the web, typographical portraits show the highest quality in artistry and skills. Text art is a growing passion of mine and these works are a small roundup of some of the best works you can discover today.

The Best & Most Popular Cosplay Photography from DeviantART

Cosplay put simply is short for ‘costume play’ and stems form the Japanese love for Manga and Anime cartoons. Although I don’t confess to be a big love of this subculture I have often found myself admiring the quality of the work gone into these type of costumes and characters.

Photographer In Profile: Micala Michuad

Recently I have had to opportunity to connect with several artists, photographers and designers over at DeviantART. Immediately over the past few days and weeks I have become rather drawn to the photography of Micala Michaud, I recently got the chance to interview her with a few lightweight questions. Also be sure to check out a selection of her work below, with me showcasing some of my favourite pieces by Micala.

These photographs are particular favorites of mine due to them showcasing macro and other forms of portrait photography from which the main subject is the human eye. Such a complex and intricate part of the human anatomy is something I love, the eye is often described as the opening to the soul.
