Design Something Showcase: Why we all Love Typography

Typography can make any piece of work stand out from the crowd, the subtlety of some aspects in typography can really provide a quality edge.

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.

Lip Sync #2

This is my second collection of great photography taken of lips, either in the category of macro photography or otherwise these photographs so such great precision and subtle detail I have found to be truly inspiring.

These photos show precise quality and give us a different perspective on what quality we can create with a photo when you take time to setup a shot and know what you are doing with some of the high specification digital cameras.



I hope you found these photos to be as inspiring and lip licking as I found them.

Each picture links to its original location online and is owned by that individual.

Thanks for reading this post, what photo’s are your favourite?
